I didn't know that there was another Dr here in Palm Bay that did the LAP-BAND® other than Dr Fusco. Wow, I will pass that along to a lady I work with. She wants to have the LAP-BAND® but doesn't want to drive to Ocala. Did he have a huge program fee like Fusco?
I just drove by PBCH yesterday for the first time since they broke ground for the addition. Wow! That's gonna be a really big hospital when it's all done. But they really did need it. I prefer PBCH over Holmes. I feel like I am just an Insurance # at Holmes. PBCH nurses were always so nice and friendly.
I have decided to go with RNY. I have (hopefully) one last thing to conquer and that is an ECG and a stress test. I am now finishing up with a 10 course for H Pylori. One more blood test for that too. Then everything goes to the surgeon and off to BCBS. I had my consult w/the WLS 08/29 and at that point he was booked till mid to late Oct. So if I get a quick approval I am hoping to get a surgery date of early to mid Nov.
How are you doing since the surgery? I hope everything is going well for you. Do you go to the Melbourne support group? It is for anyone pre or post wls. The next meeting is on 10/06 at the food court in the Melbourne Mall @ 6pm. I am planning on attending for a while. It will be my first group meeting. If you do decide to go you just have to look for a red headed woman with a green purse.
Hope to see you.
