I went for my last doctor supervised diet visit today and will have my psych eval tomorrow....then I guess I just wait.

I am so ready...I began with the seminar last november....seems like it has been two years.

I had my surgery in NOV 06 I have lost about 75 lbs. Dr Olsofka in Louisville did mine. I was self pay my insurance anthem at the time would not pay. It has been great Dr. O has been wonderful as well as the girls @ STS. Marys. I thought it would be forever but it finally happened and I have no regrets only that I didn' t do it sooner. Thanks StephanieZ

Wow, Stephaniez that gives me hope that I can lose 100lbs before my wedding. Have you been exercising alot? If so what kind?

Well, my psych eval took about 5 minutes. I suppose now I am just waiting on insurance. I am really hoping for september, not October....Its crazy that they make youw ait so long, but I think it has helped me get my head on straight, and mentally prepare myself.

I am going with the Georgetown Bariatric Surgical Associates in Georgetown, KY. They are a smaller office so everything is way more personalized. And, they work with Humana!

how long did it take to hear from the Norton Bariatric once all your paperwork has been turned in?

countrygal1985 · 10-15-2007, 07:01 AM

They typically require 3-4 weeks to do process the packet

I am wondering the same thing KYangel. I turned mine in on October 1st and still nothing, I decided to go with Dr. Geller. he is very easy to get in contact with thru email so I thought I would be more comfortable with him.

I finally heard from Norton's regarding my paparwork. They left me a message voicing they were currently looking at my paperwork and will be calling me within a week or so. Of course, I do not know what "or so" means. I had called them to tell them that our insurance is changing companies and I want to get something done before the first of the year. I do not know if the new insurance will pay. Going from Humana to Anthem.

Hopefully you will hear from them soon.:o
