Hello all, I am getting ready to go to the seminar and in hopes of changing my life for ever. I have already got pre-certified from my insurance so hopefully the next 6 mo. will go by quickly. I am very nervous but excited. I am looking for new friends and experiences so talk to me and I also would like to know other peoples receipes and do's and don'ts regarding diet after the surgery. Beck:wink_smile:

OMG! What a complete waste of time. That's ridiculous! And multiple choice questions on a piece of paper......COME ON! I could do one like that on the internet! Was it Dr. Kennel you went to w/ the paper questions? (hoping not.......:regular_smile:)

I wonder how it is going to work.....I had to pay my deductible up front. Does he bill thru CCMH? Im not shelling out another $700-$800 for this crap!

Im not sure how he does the bill I know that someone else handles it. Mine was so messed up and crap it was rediculous. Finally, once I got insurance to pay him, they paid a little over $500 and I had to pay the rest. But one good thing was if I paid it off right then, I got a little discount. Hey, any discount helps. I dont even think that visit was worth $50, its awful. Anyway, have fun LOL

Im hoping it is ccmh that does the billing. So..I take it that was your Dr as well...Kennell?

That pysch eval is such a waste! He wasnt worth $700 by far!

Kd, do you go this coming Monday or the next? I go for a fill on the 20th.

I go on the 20th at 12:45. Maybe I'll see you there! I was supposed to have one this past Monday, but I'm flying tomorrow to Arizona and was afraid to get a fill before that. I don't think I've lost anything since my last fill. I am hungry all the time and don't feel much restriction most of the time. So...we'll see.

I saw Dr. Dunn at Health South. That's who Jeannie sent me to. CCMH does nothing with the billing. Dr. Dunn's office did their own billing. My insurance covered about 500 and I had to pay the rest to him. I had approximately 400 multiple choice questions but they were the same questions repeated a hundred different ways. He lays back in his recliner while you sit in a folding chair for 4 hours and fill in bubble question answers. Make sure you stay in the lines!!!

The psych they had me go to was Dr.Dunn. Hopefully enough people complained about him that they found another one. Someplace in Marietta delt with his billing.

My appointment is 12:30 Monday. Im the same way, stay hungry, no weight loss. Now I did walk 1/2 a mile on my treadmill today, lol I had to hold my shorts up. Im kind of scared of what he will say to me. I did send an email to Jeannie telling her how upset I was last month and still am over it. We have been playing phone tag since though.. I sit in class and my stomach just growls up a storm. It is so embarressing, I mean here I am the fat girl and my stomach is growling.

Has anyone used the Wii Fit for exercise......hubby bought it for us and it kicked my big ole hiney real good. LOL...I'm filling out my exercise logs for everything since Friday evening and trust me, no fat girls should be so full. I have to admit the Wii is more fun than the treadmill or elyptical, and since dh is using it as well we naturaully made it competitive. I only mind his beating me when it doesn't involve me squatting. Since we already had the Wii it wasn't to horrible to add the Wii fit price wise. Not sure how accurate the BMI thing is, but it was real close to what my drs said. Heres hoping this works. Hehehehehe you should see me do the hula hoop one naked LOL

Im so thankful to say that im not going to Dr. Dunn......if I have to take off work, use my personal time up and answer multiple choice questions....im going to be thrilled......:rolleyes2: I'd rather have some guy glaring over his glasses and asking me questions....earn his pay a bit...
