  1. My insurance is such a pain that I've seriously thought about going to Mexico but in going to try to nag my insurance company a little more
  2. Tstorm my appointment went good and she wants to go ahead with all the testing, so now I'm waiting for the referral sent to the insurance company to be accepted and I can move on to the next steps.
  3. Awesome, I'm originally from beloit and I'll be moving back there soon after the surgery! I went to my seminar in Nov and I have my consultation tomorrow morning with my surgeon!
  4. My insurance approved my consult with Dr sarker, and I just wanted to know the experience other patients have had at Loyola and with Dr sarker....
  5. Well i have a ton of hair, i actually get it thinned but i wont be getting it thinned anymore until i find out how soon i can get my surgery. I guess i could try it incase it is from not enough nutrients so it can hopefully lessen the hair loss. Thanks for the info everyone
  6. So i have a question... i am just starting this journey and have read that hair loss is common and biotin can help but it takes months to work. So i was wondering if i start taking it now, i probably wont have my surgery for a couple of months, could it make it where i dont have hair loss??
  7. That kind of parents is what is making young girls starve and hurt themselves to be perfect!! Thats so sad, so sorry she treats u like that. Obviously she has her own insecurities or it wouldnt bother her so much!!
  8. Im going to UW madison for the surgery but idk what surgeon yet, hopefully within the next week ill find that out.
  9. Im not required to do the 6 month diet with my insurance but ive been told it can still take a few months to get all the appointments done
  10. Im in rockford and am just starting the process... i hope it goes fast
  11. Im in rockford il. Also just starting my journey. I already did my seminar and sent the paperwork and insurance info to the hospital. They said itll be two weeks at the most until they call me with thr next step. Idk what the next step is but im so excited!
