How did your appointment go?

I live in Beloit, WI, but will be going through Froedtert in Milwaukee. I don't have a date yet, because I have to lose 27 pounds before Dr. Gould will do the surgery. Otherwise, I'm done with all of my pre-op appointments.

Well hi there! Welcome and congratulations I was just waiting for my insurance last approval but now they say VSG is not a covered service even though my Dr office called and had it approved. So I do not know where I stand at this point ither than SUPER disappointed,angry,sad etc. There is no other option for me. I refuse to have bypass and lapband will be too much running back and forth for fills over hour away.

Well keep in touch as we are really close(I am about 5 miles from Beloit) I use Rockford as a base as most people don't know my little podunk town ha.

Hello! Sorry to hear about your insurance problem! Hope the surgery happens for you!

Tstorm my appointment went good and she wants to go ahead with all the testing, so now I'm waiting for the referral sent to the insurance company to be accepted and I can move on to the next steps.
