I have a consult set up w/ her. I'm wondering if anyones had her as there surgen or heard of her?

thanks!!

Dr Vernon is in the same practice as my doctor - Tavakolizadeh. He is terrific and the whole practice is impressive.

She is awesome...I actually am having my surgery a week from today on 6/26. From the info session she has been awesome. Let me know if you have any questions!

i have bcbs hmo of ma...there havent been any problems yet!

great!!! :thumbup:Did your doc set you up w/ phyc & nutrition consult?? Or can you do that on your own??

they set it all up...i had it all done on the same day. you have to have a psych consult, nutrition consult and an upper GI study minimally...more testing if you have problems like sleep apnea, heart issues, bp, etc.

i was lucky in the sense that my only pressing medical problem at this point is my the obesity. she called me a 'perfect candidate'...i enjoyed being considered physical perfection:lol:

I don't have any other health serious problems either, that I'm aware of. besides obesity. Hope it goes well for me too.

Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you a little update. I went to see Dr. Vernon the other day. I really liked her! :smile:She was just like " Yup, ok." She said I'd have no problems w/ my insurance either So, I had all my blood work done that day. I'm just waiting for them to call me w/ my nutritional, phyc, & upper GI appts. :wink2:

I'm getting really excited!! As, soon as I get those done she'll put it in to the insurance for approval. She said that usually only takes 1-2 wks. I thought it would be a while for insurance. Thanks all! :hurray:

How's everything going for you!??! Did you have your surgery?
