Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Hi, My name is Joyce. I have just recently found out about Dr. R. I am so looking forward to it. I am 5'2 " and now am 330. I know a girl from work who just had the operation last week. She had it on Monday and came into work on wednesday to do some things. I had been approved for Dr. Fobi's procedure in 1996, but then due to having bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and my company not allowing me to fly to California to have the procedure done I could not have it done. I then went thru 1 yr. of pre op testing at ECU only to find out after 1 year they decided I was not a candidate. That was about 70 lbs ago. I live in Cary, NC and I can't wait to do it. Do I send in the online form first and then wait on a response, or do I send in the whole packet to the office. Does anybody know... ? Also just fyi for others, I had Aetna in 1996 and it took them only 4 weeks to approve the $42,000 surgery from Fobi which I never had. I have BCBS of NC now. I hope I don't have a problem with them? Any suggestions, pointers or anything would be appreciated.. thx. Joyce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
