hey all

thanks for the warm welcome!!

my appointment with Dr. Spiegel was may 27

i called them two weeks later and left a message to check on my surgery status

then i got really super busy and didnt get to call back till this week when they said that I needed to call my insurance co.....

so i did this and the insurance co said that they had not recieved the letter until July 6th from Dr. Spiegel's office and that the letter itself was dated June 14...

so to be really honest right now Im not sure that I am going to stay with Dr. Spiegel.... my family really wants me to go ahead and go to a Dr. in houston... who knows... right now I am just waiting on the answer from the insurance then I will make a dr. decision.

Ya'll keep your fingers crossed for me... I should know friday

thanks

Have a great day

Tammy
