Guest guest Posted October 11, 2001 Report Share Posted October 11, 2001 I, too want to thank Dawna-- she was the first DS-er I contacted-- and I think it may have been on the OSSG list, way back in March. I got my date with Dr Anthone: on October 24, 2001 I will join the growing ranks of the switched. I am still waiting for this to sink in-- I have spent so much time trying not to think about how long the recovery from the panniculectomy was taking, what with the open incision and all ( still about 20 inches of 1/4 to 1/8th inch deep in two patches) and not thinking about just WHEN I would get a date that I am still numb. For those who are tracking such things, I have Blue Cross Prudent Buyer and I am approved with no trouble-- none, nada, zip. In fact the case manager called me to tell me about the date, and I had to contact the Dr.'s office to confirm! and there is at least one other patient of Dr. Anthone with Blue Cross Prudent Buyer whose first contact with Dr. A was After June 1, and she, too was approved and switched without a hitch! She is now about 3 weeks out and doing well. Good Luck to all us October Switchers! and may the rest of you either continue to loose or get dates and approvals soon! Nan E.
