Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 I am so excited and so scared all at the same time. After going through my episode with Dr. Husted in Nashville, I feel so lucky to be going to Dr. Hess. The first time I asked about Husted several of the members on here spoke up and informed me of the things the he had neglected to tell me about his track record etc... I think this group led me down a better road. I am forever greatful!! I tried twice to contact Dr. Husteds head nurse and never got a call back after learning what I learnt....Then when I asked my insurance company if he had applied for the change of procedure, I found out that he hadn't weeks after he said he would.... After reading my first post a few minutes ago I think I sound like I may have been bragging.....If that is how anyone took it I am sorry...I was just excited and wanting to tell people....I think I have told everyone I have seen this afternoon.....

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 Best of luck, . Great surgeon, and BC/BS approval. Who could ask for anything more (pre-op, at least)? I'm very happy for you that you changed your choice of surgeons! --Steve -- Steve Goldstein, age 61 Lap BPD/DS on May 2, 2001 Dr. Elariny, INOVA Fairfax Hospital, Virginia Starting (05/02/01) BMI = 51 BMI on 10/07 = 40 (-70 lb.)
