We are going to the same office but I'm seeing Dr Rivas yes you will meet with the nutritionist, insurance lady, & maybe the nurse. MY visit was this past Friday and it was a breeze, I didnt do much talking until it came down to the insurance lady. Make sure you have your paperwork together that will speed up the process and please be ready to ask any questions you have. The front office seemed a bit unorganized to me. But hey no one is perfect right!!! please let me know how it goes. and if you ever wan to pm me feel free!!

11-10-06:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: I was an hour late I got lost I couldnt find my way out of a one way bldg!! Met with Dr. Rivas he was AWESOME!! His whole attitude was great! He gave me helpful information and he said I would be a perfect canidate for the surgery! I met with the diet lady she was cool she gave me a diet plan for pre-op and post-op and get this I dont have to do a strict pre-op diet. I met with the insurance lady she started off being mean but I killed her with kindness and she came to herself. I met the nurse she was so kind and soft spoken, she said she would be with me step by step. I left the office floating I cant even describe the feeling that came over me. 11-14-06:( Got a call from Scott the finance guy and he said I need to get more history from the pcp and ob-gyn.????? I left there thinking I had it all together and no one said anything about additional information. I got very upset that I didnt have it together, I didnt want to wait any longer for approval but I guess I have to. 11-15-06:nervous So far I have emailed the lady for more history at the OB. office now I have to call my doctor for my 8months trail diet crap! Not sure why that wasnt sent over from her with the referral?? I'm thinking maybe I should wait until Jan to get the surgery United Healtcare wont send me through all of this mess I hope not!!
