Newbie from Phoenix with questions

Hello Everyone!

I am new to this site. I have Aetna insurance and had to follow a 3 month plan for approval. I've done everything they required and my doctor's office (True Results) submitted the paperwork on 11/17/09. My surgery is tentatively scheduled for 12/17/09.

My questions are:

- Has anyone had experience with True Results / Dr. Nirmul?

- Has anyone had any issues with Aetna not approving the surgery after their requirements have been met?

- What should I expect the first week to 10 days after surgery?

Thanks for any feedback... have a good weekend!

well hi there and welcome. This is a wonderful site to be on. You can use the search feature to find threads relating to your doctor and to your after care.

There is a wealth of information already on here, READY, SET, READ!

If not for this site I am sure I would not have had the success I am so proud of thus far.

Again welcome and explore. Lana

Dr. Nirmul placed my band on June 18 of this year. I've written about my experiences with True Results a few times on my blog, if you want to check that out (sorry, don't have time to type it all out right now!)
