I haven't been here for a while. I lost my job and insurance in November of last year. I got depressed because I had just been given my surgery date, January 23, 2008. I had an awesome doctor and the surgery would cost me nothing because I was a Kaiser employee. I was devastated.

Well... my husband just got a great job... with benefits. My insurance kicks in December 1. I am so excited. I don't know if I have to start over again or if I can just call and get put back on the surgery list. It will cost 500$ now but it is soooo much better than self pay and I am truly grateful. I will keep in touch and let you all know what is going on and I thank you all for the help I received in the past.

WELCOME BACK, Good luck .. I hope that your new insurance will take the documentation of every thing you did the last time. Keep us posted.
