Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Well after fighting with my insurance company to admend my policy. As well as telling the Hospitals that they could not follow hand written instructions to send labs and previous surgery reports to Dr. Sutherland. I ended up going and having them place all of the reports in my hand so I could over night them to his secratary. But it has pai off in the end. I am sceduled for my Total Pancreactonomy and Auto Islet Cell Transplant on Oct 10th. I will be admitted at 5:30 AM that morning. My H and P is on Oct 5th at 8 AM My sister Sandy is going to update my caring bridge site http://www.caringbridge.org/in/lsbaker/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an uncertainties just talk to Sutherland and you will feel a lot better. Make sure you update us how everything is going. If you have any questions just ask. Good Luck I'll be thinking about you. St. Louis MO leanne19752003 wrote:Well after fighting with my insurance company to admend my policy.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2005 Report Share Posted August 27, 2005 Congratulations Leanne! I had the same surgery on March 10, 2003. Two years and seven months from the time you will be having yours. I am very pleased with the outcome of my surgery. I hope that you too will find success.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2005 Report Share Posted August 28, 2005 Leanna, Best of health and best of success to you for your upcoming surgery. Now that you've won the battle with the insurance company, the rest should be easier to get ready for. I'm sure you're anxious for your surgery date to arrive quickly, now that the struggle is over. Hopefully you'll soon be one of Dr. Sutherland's " graduates " , and be on the other side of the fence in greener pastures. We'll keep updated on your progress through your Caring Bridge website, and wish you all the best. With love, hope and prayers, Heidi Heidi H.
