  1. What should I expect in the coming months???

    raprile replied to raprile's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I wish there was a closer option. I'm in Marinette, WI which is an hour north of Green Bay, WI...which is where the closet surgeon is to me...but he doesn't accept my insurance, so further south I have to go. Uhhh...to live in Northern WI... :smile:) If it helps, I'm going to be using Theda Clark in Neenah, WI...so if anyone has been there can help me out, I would very much appreciate it!!!

  2. What should I expect in the coming months???

    I am beginning my journey on Monday, September 15 for the initial seminar. My insurance covers the surgery so I'm not too worried about that aspect...but I am concerned about denial. What are some of the reasons dr's deny patients?? Also, how long does the process usually take from seminar to surgery day? I'm going to be using a doctor that is 1 1/2 - 2 hours away from where I live and with a 10 month old, my husband and I both in school...and no reliable sitter...and then the cost of gas (ugh!)...how many visits and what kind of visits will I need to attend pre-op. I just need some reassurance...getting kind of worried now:scared2: And I haven't even started yet! :smile:

  3. Waiting to get started...

    I recently found out that my insurance covers the lap band so I've made the decision to attend one of the seminars. I was just wondering if anyone has gone to ThedaClark in Neenah, WI and if they could fill me in on what to expect. Thanks so much!
