I am so happy to hear about Kim and her recovery!! I go on Monday and

I would love to have the experience she had (no nausea, etc.) I also

have had three c-sections and assumed he would have to deal with lots

You and your sister are in my thoughts and prayers.

I wish you all the best and my prayers will go with you!!!!! I too

hope that if I get to have the MGB that it goes as well as Kim's seems to

have.

I emailed Debbie Thur. evening to ask if the patient info I emailed on 5/2/00

had come through. Barbara emailed me back and said yes that they had already

sent it out to my Ins. Co. for approval so now I guess I just wait.

Have you received your copy of the insurance letter yet? I sent my

on the 2nd also but I still haven't received my copy of the insurance

trying to be patient, I really should be after I messed up Dr. R's computer

Hi Genz,

I emailed Debbie on Thur. to find out if they had even received

my patient info as I had heard nothing, Barbara emailed me back yesterday

morning and said yes they had received it and had already sent info out to

Ins. Co. didn't say anything about mailing me anything. Kim said they never

mailed her anything just all of a sudden one day had an email pop up ( from

Dr. R's office) telling her she had been approved and did she still want the

surgery. The lady who had the surgery before Kim came to see her today before

she (Kim) was released, she was getting out to so she evidentially is fine

and it tickled Kim that someone who had it done to came to visit her. I'm not

sure who she was, but Kim said she wasn't on the Internet so I wouldn't know

her.

Cathy,

Have you received your copy of the insurance letter yet? I sent my PI in

on the 2nd also but I still haven't received my copy of the insurance letter.

I'm

trying to be patient, I really should be after I messed up Dr. R's computer

system. I'm so glad that Kim is doing good. Have you heard anything about the

person before her? I hope they're doing well also. Please let me know about your

insurance letter.
