Greetings from Maryland
Hello everyone,

It's been months since I have posted anything months since leaving Kaiser. I started back lurking the boards 2 month ago when I started the process with BCBS.

My scheduled the surgery date is April 16, 2008. I am extremely excited and scared at the same time.

The surgeon is Dr. Marc Rickford at Comprehensive Weight Loss Center in Washington, DC. I am trying to prapare myself by reading everything here to ensure I am ready and know what to expect. I will have to do 1 week pre-op liquid diet, not sure what as of yet.

Take care for now.....

Hey there...welcome. Where in Maryland are you from? I'm also from Maryland and had surgery in Washington, DC. However, my surgery was with Dr. Fred Brody at George Washington University Hospital. Good luck on your journey. You will do great!

After I completed all of the testing and evaluation. My paperwork was submitted on March 6. I received a call from the scheduler on March 14 stating I was approved. I was practically in tear. I was orginally told it would take a couple of weeks and that I neded a letter from my PCP. I never got the letter from PCP and they still submitted my paperwork, I guess I didn't need it after all.

Smile Hello From MD Too!
Hi! I"m from MD (northern area, near the PA line) and dealt with BC/BS. My surgery date is March 26th. It is so exciting that I don't think I have time to focus on being nervous. Best of luck to you!!
