  8. I am in Daphne AL too!! VERY scared and waiting here. Should be able to have surgery in Oct or Nov. I am on 2nd month of 7 months of weight loss trials. gained 4 lbs so far Its so nice to have this forum for support! My family is no support at all they are against it. I am still looking for a dr that I feel comfortable with. Ive seen 3 so far and go see Dr Richards at USA in July. I also have an appt with dr lord in p'cola in July. I would greatly appreciate any input about your experiences? did you have nausea? pain? vomiting? etc. Did the staff at hospital treat you well? Nice to meet you all. Am excited about this journey and hoping I have enough courage to follow thru!!!!!!! Vicki
  9. I am in Daphne AL. I have met dr avara in ocean springs. I have an appt with dr lord in p'cola in july and Ive met dr weinstein. maybe I am just picky, but I still have not met THE doctor that I am excited about. I have severe nausea issues and want to find a dr that will work with me on that. I also have ALLOT of fear I am dealing with. MOBD, can you share your experience at USA?? Thanks in advance!!!!!!

    Hi D Mixon, I am very anxious to know how it went at USA? Are you doing well? Any info you can share would be GREATLY appreciated!!! I am starting to get so scared, but feel I have no choice. I am considering self paying too because it looks like it will be Christmas before I can get the surgery with Dr Lord in Pensacola. Hope you are doing well

    I am very anxious to hear your story. Thanks you SOO much for the info. I was starting to feel very discouraged. They told me today I actually must see my primary for 7 mos in a row before my ins will pay and then it will cost me $2700. out of pocket. My primary is a great dr , but everytime I go to her office I seem to catch whatever the latest bad virus going around. Its possible that the amounts could be different at USA? I will check into it. You are the first person to mention USA. Everyone else I know has been to Mobile Infirmary. I read a little about Dr Richards and he appears to be a very skilled dr PLEASE keep me posted and let me know how you do after surgery .
