Lady Q T

Thank you Debbie for your info:clap2: . I guess I just sit around the house waiting to hear the mail man to bring me the next package of papers to fill out!! Hopefully you won't have to much longer before you see the surgeon and get you Surgery date! I have BCBS insurance and when I called them they said they treat Obesity as they treat all other illness/health issue so I just hope this is a speedy process so that I can become that healthy active "young":heh: lady that is screaming:second: to come out. I also hope that they SPEED delivery your paper work to the insurance company and back to Mt. Carmel so you will a surgery date soon and very soon!!!! Thank you again

Hello every one!! I live in Columbus Ohio, I am 39, married with 2 sons (21, and 16) I have decided not to tell anyone about being banded, I'm a private kind of girl, and don't want every one looking over my shoulders asking me questions trying to give me unwanted advise! My Husband is very supported on my choice with this Surgery tool! I have decided to go with Mt. Carmel also DebbieK1. I just went to the seminer on Feb. 28, 2007 I have mailed in my paper work I received at the seminer, so now I guess I just have to wait to hear back from them. DebbieK1 1:how long did you have to wait for a call back. 2# did you have to pay the $300.00 for the "administrator" fee, and the $200.00 for the nutrition class I kinda thought that as much as the surgery will cost that would have been included! But I guess I will suck it up and pay the cost. I guess I see them not scheduling every one to see a surgeon untill every thing else is in place.

Ok Banded pro's this is my first time posting , I would like to know if n e 1 has been banded in columbus, ohio at the Mt. Carmel hospital and if so how was your experience? I have just sent in my first set of paper work to be approve by their Dr. Also they are charging $300.00 for administrator fee (paper pushing to the Ins.), not to mention I will have to spend another $200.00 for their nutritionist and this $500.00 is not covered by my insurance:faint: . Are fee's normal? I was just wondering because I feel as much as the surgery cost, these things should be included! N E help would be nice
