Hi, I live in Pensacola too! I'm actually going to Mobile for my GB. I don't know anything about the Dr. at Baptist. And I refuse to pay almost $800 in adminstrative fees to see Dr. Lord at sacred. When none of that money goes towards a deductible. Strictly out of pocket. I'm gonna see Dr. Weinstein on July 3rd for my first consult. Good luck and keep me updated.

He is the founder of that practice. His partner dr ringold is who did mine. You picked the best practice. Had it on Tuesday and he said it was textbook perfect. You will be very impressed. Good luck.

I'm so glad to know that. How are you feeling? How long did it take for you to get your surgery date from your first consult? I might have more questions for you, but I don't want to bombard you. Since you just had surgery.

Don't blame you for going to mobile! I live in Panama city beach so even the 2 1/2 hour drive to Pensacola sucks big time! My fee for Dr. Friedman is only $250 and I have read nothing but great things about him.....not so much for Dr. Lord......anywho....good luck to both of you!

Hey Tami my gurgery went great. Im 4 days post op. Still hurting some on left side. Bearable though. It took me about three months from the first pcp visit to surgery. Lots of requirements from provider and ins. It will be worth it.

I'm so glad everything is going great!! If you don't mind me asking? What requirements does the provider need, other than what ins. requests? I Anthem BC/BS and my two main requirements are Psych and Nut eval. Everything else I've done or have done. So i'm hoping the process will be fairly fast. My PCP is sending my records and they should be there when I have my first consult. I'm 2 days smoke free and just wondering if they test you and how long they require you to be smoke free. If you happen to know. Thanks and keep me updated on your recovery.. Tami

The provider has you go to the "Begin" class. It explains all about what you eat prior to and after surgery in detail. Then the do a short health fitness. Then if your over 300 pounds like I was, you have to go to a pulmonary dr for approval. Also EKG ,X-ray, blood work, upper Gi, ultrasound. All of which I had in one appt. the thing is you can't do any of this until you have already been approved. But it's all worth it to have the best in the area.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
