Guest guest Posted July 27, 2000 Report Share Posted July 27, 2000 Hello list-mates, My journey toward WLS... I was approved for surgery right away, before I even finished my packed, by my insurance company - Partners of NC - but they said to do it with an in-network provider, which means a standard RNY. While the MGB has many attractions for me, I also like the longer track record the RNY has, so I wasn't too disappointed. I just want the surgery! I consulted with Dr. P. Grant at Duke University, who is a colleague of Dr. Rutledge's. I'm waiting for official pre-approval now (they're not as quick on the paperwork as Dr. R's office). I haven't posted recently because this development puts me in the " outsider " group, but I've been actively lurking. I was at the support group at Durham Regional Hospital last month, and it was really great meeting everyone. I was hoping to go back again this month, but now that it looks like I'm not going with Dr. R., I'll just continue lurking and follow everyone's progress. Best of luck to all, and thanks for the support! Ellen in Chapel Hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
