Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Angel, have you researched to see if there isn't someone else you can see? Go to www.obesityhelp,com and search for another doctor. Or is your insurance making you see Dr. Maguire? What a wait! I don't think I could handle 5 months! Mickyco-owner KoalityKare "Quality childcare isn't expensive. It's priceless."http://www.homestead.com/koalitykare/KoalityKare.html A long time to wait! Oh My! I just talked to Dr. Maguire's office and the soonest I can get a consult is SEPTEMBER 21st! 5 very long months away. But I guess I'd better be happy that my foot is in the door. I did ask to be put on the cancellation list so with luck I'll move up. I guess it's just so frustrating because I had just gotten moved up a month (from June 28th to May 24th) with Dr. Hess and now it feels forever until I see Dr. Maguire September 21st. Better break out my quilting to keep me busy!

Guest guest Posted May 3, 2001 Report Share Posted May 3, 2001 Hi Mickey, My understanding is that no one in network does this surgery and you know those HMO's.....they are heck to get around! But for some reason I can't fathom, they will let me at least have a consult with Dr. Maguire! They say they won't approve the DS but only the RNY. However Tammy, the girl I'm working with at the insurance,who has been very nice and helpful, said that Dr. Maguire can submit a treatment plan for the DS and we can see what happens. I hope I live that long! Thanks for the e-mail. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Angel > Angel, have you researched to see if there isn't someone else you can see?
