  1. I called the doctor's office to set up a consultation. I was hoping for day within the week, but unfortunately the latest they had was September 16!!!!! aaaah...haha.
     
    Seems far away but alas the date is set. I also called Aetna and confirmed that they covered the surgery and had them email me the requirements in order for it to be covered.
     
    Still excited! I'm also going to the gym religiously because it allows me to release some energy :tt2:

  3. First Steps

    · Bryn · 08/26/2010 02:20

    On 8/19/10 I had a meeting with my PCP and from the 2 months I saw her last, I had researched WLS. I always told myself WLS would be a last result, and at that time it was. I asked her about the surgery and she told me it may benefit me but to contact a Bariatric Surgeon
     
    I googled a surgeon in my area and up popped Dr. Cynthia Long. I liked that she did her surgeries at my preferred hospital of choice and she was local to me. She also had great reviews from what I read. I called her office to set up a consultation but was promptly told that I needed to attend a seminar on WLS before a consultation and I thought that was fair.
     
    On 8/25/10 (today) I attended the Seminar held by Dr. Long. I found her seminar to be very informative and she was very up front about how serious all surgeries are. Plenty of questions asked and all were answered professionally. I was very impressed.
     
    Now that the seminar is over, I can't wait these measley 11 hours to call her office and set up a consultation :wub: I am super excited!
