Can any of Dr. Miles or Schmitt's patients help me with a few questions I have? I have BCBS of AL PPO.

How much where you required to pay upfront? (with insurance)

What was the PREop requirement? (liquids for so many days etc?

What is the POSTop requirement? (liquids so many days, mushies.. etc)

I think that's all for now. We have a couple of vacations coming up and I would like to have a heads up on the money so I don't spend it on vacation lol and food requirements..... same.. need to be sure vacation goes along with them.

Thanks!!

good luck tomorrow i know how first days are and i am going back to the first few weeks are the worst

Hi everyone!! Just thought I would stop in and say hello. I am sorry I missed the meeting on Saturday. I had my gall bladder out on Thursday (everything went well) and then I had to photograph a wedding on Saturday (probably not the best idea). Glad to see everything is going well. I will definately be at the next meeting.

Hello Everyone.

I am a newbie. Banded on 8/11/09 by Dr Miles. Had to stay overnight due to Medicare. I am doing well with only minor pain every now and again. Haven't had to take anything for the pain yet. Staples come out tomorrow.

I want to thank Shawna for agreeing to be my Angel mentor. It makes me feel stronger to know I have someone that will reach out if needed.

I cannot believe that I haven't wanted a diet cola at all since giving them up. I was so addicted to them. Water with crystal lite seems to be satisfying me for now.

As soon as I figure out how to put all the "pretties" on here, I'll get mine up.
