Woooot Wooottt!!! I have a surgery date! Sept 20th! PAT Sept 20th for final pre-op visit with the Drs. Its a long time coming and I am nervous, excited, scared, happy and so much more!!! :wub:

Sept 30th here!!!! FINALLY!!

Hi Mary! I am Amy from Ohio. My surgery date is September 30 and I am excited, scared, nervous all in the same breath! However isn't this forum great for support and positive enforcement??

How are you feeling after the surgery?? Miserable, great, regret??? Just curious ?

Unfortunately I too was working with Cc and was asked (by a friend) to at least attend one of Dr Ben-Meir informational meetings at Saw Mill Creek. My husband and I instantly fell in love with dr Ben-Meier. However I only wish I had the same experience as some of you speak of. From the very first appointment it was nothing more than a complete run around, My advocate DIane was the most unorganized, lazy, and not very truthful person I have ever met. However being so impressed with the Dr. I continued to press on. Then in May I get a call that Dr Ben-Meier left St V's and left no information as to where he was going. I have since returned to the Cleveland Clinic were all is going just as smoothly as when I got side tracked at St V's. PLEASE don't confuse St V's with Dr Ben-Meier but I feel extremely put off by the entire process of Dr Ben-Meier leaving and no word to all the patients he rudely left hanging and the staff at St Vs has much to be desired before I would ever recommend anyone going there.

Anyone close to Cedar Point??

I have been in the process since January. It's getting down to the final days now. I just awaiting a date!! Anyone else in this area of the state and also the process?

I got a call from the insurance coordinator @ the hospital. However I have been in pre- authorization "mode" since June 27! My insurance simple took their good old time. I had to take it a step further and not acted our Medical Benefits Administrator to aid in putting some pressure on the insurance ,.. Just GIVE ME AN ANSWER!!! How long does it take to look at a record?? Geshhh. Good luck !!!
