Guest guest Posted July 9, 2001 Report Share Posted July 9, 2001 Hello Jill, Well, things have turned a bright corner for me. In my last letter I said my PacifiCare HMO approved gastric bypass surgery for me but would not let me go out of network to get it. My insurance changed to PacifiCare PPO on July 1st and now I can go out of network but they have an iron-clad exclusion against the surgery. Can't fight this. Thanks to my wonderful family who came to my financial support for this surgery, I am off to Spain. I will be having my surgery with Dr. Baltasar on July 26th. It will finally become reality and not just a dream. All the negative vibes that surrounded the lenghty fight with my insurance, working out coordinating all the pre-op tests that HAD to be done up in Oregon and not at home, and the long waiting time before surgery are all gone now. I can not believe how much lighter I feel having all that gone off of my shoulders. It looks like it just might really happen Jill! And may I be just like you when I grow up!! Your results are incredible. You were instrumental in my early baby steps toward this surgery. I am SO much more knowledgeable now (the good thing that came out of the insurance fight) and very ready for this surgery to take place. Thank you for all you did for this fledgling - I will pass on your good works to others when possible. Good luck with your project too. Sounds interesting. Sorry I won't be able to help since I did not get to go to Dr. Gagner. I hope you have had all the P-surgeries you wanted or will have no problem with the remaining ones.
