Contacts are supposed to help you learn. It's more than just a requirement of Dr. R's..it's a learning tool..one that you will look back on later fondly.

I have heard of about 5-6 of us who had to edit them and I am sure there are others. Copy and paste the whole thing into a word document and edit from there. Good luck!!!

Like Flo for instance and Genz. Good luck, PhillyJude's best friend, Trude contacts Help me, Help me... I'm a friend of PhillyJude (hey judy, I made it home) and have been living vicariously through her as I have been collecting my packet. I haven't gotten many responses for my contacts..and I only asked basic questions, you know ....would you do it again, are you happy with the results, was there much pain, is the n & v very bad, was distance a problem...

I have only five contacts so anyone who knows a good contact, please let me know? Thanks! Louisa in AZ Contacts Hi all, I am more than willing to be a contact to anyone who emails me privately. Please just ask what you want to know. I get the messages in digest form so please email me directly. Good luck to all wherever you are in your plight! God Bless!

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2000 Report Share Posted November 2, 2000 Hi everyone My name is Montgomery and I'm trying to get the contacts so I can finish up with my paper work. I have everything else done and I am very eager to get the surgery and get on with my life. As of now I am 340 pounds and 6' 2 " tall and I have diabetes. I need to get some questions answered like all of you had to I'm sure. One question that I was interested in was how long out is the doctor booked. Is this something that happens pretty quick once you have the paper work and the Insurance done? Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thank you nw.homes@...

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 : Sorry, but I can't help you there. I had my surgery over a year and a half ago. I've lost 120 lbs. Had my blood work done September 30 and everything came back fine. I'm sure some of the more recent MGB's can help.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 , it can happen very quickly if he has cancellations or it can take a few weeks. But we're not talking a huge wait. A few weeks..maybe three.

She said 4-5 weeks...booked up.. When I started this,,, 1 month ago, it was 2-3 weeks booked.. She also said that everyone is trying to get it in before end of year to claim on out of pocket expenses with insurance.. one other thing, they are not doing a cancellation list, I wanted to be on it for November but she said Dr.R. said no that he welcomed the break if there was a cancellation.. : ( So get to work... in GA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Frances, any regrets? What is your weight loss? Did you have any problems? Would you do it all over again if you had the choice? Re: Contacts >: > >Sorry, but I can't help you there. I had my surgery over a year and a >half ago. I've lost 120 lbs.
