I went to the seminar August 13th, mailed in my application on the 14th. I called on Thursday the 21st and was told that the Surgeon's Office Assistant was on vacation and would be back on 25th and I should hear from the surgeon's office this week. So, I called again today, because I am a pain, and left a message and about 3 hours later....

The dietician called me to make an appointment! WoOOOHoooo. I have already seen my PCP and she approved all the services and my Insurance...what a joke, all they want is my PCP to say that I need it and an approval letter of medical necessity by the surgeon!:cursing:

Let's just hope it is a easy as it seems!:huh2:

Congrats!!! I'm not that far from you, in Biddeford. I'm going to same surgeon and was at the same seminar :-) ! That's great you have an appt. already. I went in Monday to get lab work done. Because I'm a former smoker, they had me get labs done to make sure I really did quit. I should have those results tomorrow or Friday and then I'll be able to move on. When's your appt. for the dietician. We should keep in touch since we're pretty much on the same road together. My e-mail is THunt9906@hotmail.com if you'd rather e-mail. I'm glad someone else here in Maine is going to be going through everything I will be and will know what I'm talking about.

Hi,

My name is Abbie. This is great! My appointment is 09/09/08 at 1:30. We are just about the same age too. I turn 28 in December! My e-mail address is abbie.cote@yahoo.com. I am going to the support group meeting tonight at 6:30...U?

I'm going to try to make it depending on the schedule with my daughters cheerleading. If I don't make it tonight I def. will on the next one. I better get back to work. I'm so glad we're talking, it's a relief.
