Hi Tawnda! I was just looking around and spotted your msg from Oct. Did you ever select a dr and go through with your surgery? I'm just beginning to look around and not sure if I should use AL or GA dr's. I'm close to Opelika - actually in Lanett, about 20 miles up the interstate. Probably quicker to get to Atlanta for dr. I have Fed Gov BCBS, but I'm retired and I'm not sure if they now consider it BCBS of AL or what - need to call them. Those of you that have already had surgery, did your dr include the cost of fills with your surgical cost? And does doing without Water while eating prove to be a problem for you? That's my biggest worry. Thanks! Gwen
