Re: Airlines Seats & relocating during the approval process???

[Guest guest]

Re: Airplane seats, etc.

I just flew this past week to New Mexico from Atlanta for my birthdaughter's

wedding, which was great, by the way! I am 5'7 " and 298 lb. and the

standard seats were tight, but do-able; I did ask for a seat belt extender

and, both ways, the attendants were very nice and as discreet as possible.

The smaller, commuter flights between Albuquerque and Roswell (16 seaters, I

think) were much tighter, but I managed to fit and they were very nice about

extenders, also. I flew Delta & Mesa (commuter plane).

My new insurance went into effect today, Blue Choice Option, and I saw a

Physician Assistant today and met the Dr, who (or is it, whom??) I chose as

my PCP. (That's why I " know " how much I weigh.) They referred me to a

vascular specialist because of my diabetic foot ulcer. I see her next

Thursday and the PCP on 8/17. I've never had a woman Dr. before; it should

be interesting!

Has anyone ever moved during the approval process? I had my Dr.'s OK in IL

and my old ( & Cobra) ins. OK, but now I'm in GA with a new job, new

insurance, & new Dr. What do I have to do? Just submit my new insurance

info or start all over?? My Dr. in IL had recommended gastric bypass

surgery & supported me fully. I do have all my medical records. I wonder

how long I will need to see this Dr. before asking her for an OK. Any info

would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.
