Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 There is a God! Well, I am close to the other side. I just talked to Barbara and I have been approved for surgery on the 9th of June. I was so excited I about peed my pants! Now I've got a favor to ask. Is there anyone in Raleigh that can give me a ride to clinic? I am going to fly in tomorrow and fly back out the same day. My approval came so fast that I am going to come home while awaiting my surgery on Friday I have so much to do.. If not does anyone know how much a cab will cost from the airport to clinic? Thanks!!! Joanne In Tennessee! Packet sent to Dr. R June 1st and approved June 5th for surgery on June 9th! Currently doing the happy dance! P.S Ok " littermates " Where are you??

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 Way to go Joanne! Congrats to you! You won't even have time to get nervous. Eat that last meal soon, you don't want to stuff yourself right before surgery! My prayers will be with you. Blessings ~Amy. _____________________________________________ Amy S.

Guest guest Posted June 5, 2000 Report Share Posted June 5, 2000 --- Joanne I say its no more than 2o miles from the airport.....What time does your plane come in? Are you coming tonight? I can get you but it would have to be by 800am I need to be at clinic at 9am and could get you back to the airport probably, I know Trish will be heading that way, so she said, we will all be at clinic tomorrow. Let me know how I can help, Also it's not me actually driving, I post only 5 days but dad is a big help. Lori In MiniGastricBypass (AT) e, Joanne97617@a... wrote: > There is a God!

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2000 Report Share Posted June 17, 2000 Good Luck Joanne!!! I have a question: does EVERYONE get approved that quickly? I gathered that it took alot longer than just a few days from the time the packet is sent in. I was thinking that I was looking at September or later (I'm just getting the packet info together now)... Thanks for your advice! a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 18, 2000 Report Share Posted June 18, 2000 a - I sent my package in in April and the doctors office sent the letter to the ins. co. requesting approval almost right away - then, of course, the insurance company took a couple of weeks and then they requested a documented five year weight history and gave me a month to get the records in. I had to send to Florida for some because five years ago I lived down there and now they have had the records about two weeks and I am again waiting. I hope they approve me. I think that I would like surgery about the end of Sept or beginning or Oct but will do it sooner if they approve me and put a time frame on the approval.
