I am originally from Southern Indiana but went to college for two yrs at Univ. of Kentucky in Lexington. I loved it there....good memories.:) Used to drive to Lville and Clarksville on the weekends. There are lots of kind ppl in Kentucky. I live in FL now so I am far far away from my KY friends...

I will be going to a seminar in Louisville on Tuesday and was wondering what happened at the seminar - do they just send you home with information - how long will it take to hear from them after the seminar, etc.?

Hello I am from Louisville , Does any one have any recommendations for a doctor? I am looking to have the surgery as well as my sister she has aetna and I have Humana, does anyone know much about these insurance plans for the surgery? Good luck to all....keep up the good work.

Have not had the surgery. Found out it was not covered on my BlueCrossBlue Shield Insurance. Thinking about Mexico but a little nervous about it.

Greetings to one and all from Kentucky! I'm from Paducah. Anyone nearby, or had their surgery done here? So far I've met one gal from here, 'Hey MySherriJo!' Anyway, I've not had my surgery yet, I just got turned down the 1st time from the insurance, so time to appeal. Just another rock in my path.

Busy · 10-21-2006, 07:31 PM

Hello DouglasP13, I live about 60 miles from you in Hopkinsville but I am in Paducah alot. Have not had my surgery yet also, I was denied the first time because I had not completed the 6 month monitored diet. Now I have completed it and am waiting for my insurance company to decide yes or no. Humana PPO, my fingers are crossed. Who is your insurance carrier? Luck to you, keep us updated.

DouglasP13 · 10-21-2006, 10:07 PM

Hello BusyWoman! I was so close to Hopkinsville last night, I went to Evansville to see Rockapella. It was awesome. Of course, you can read all about that in my journal. Anyway, I'm with Anthem BCBS, and they don't cover my surgery. The place I work for made that an exclusion, so I'm going it alone. Kinda sucks, but hey, I've been dealt a rotten hand before. Anyway, what do you come to P-Town for? Anything fun? Do you have any idea how long until your surgery? Do tell. Nice to meet ya, talk to you soon.!

Busy · 10-22-2006, 08:12 PM

I am vaguely familiar with Rockapella but did not know they were in Evansville. I am in Paducah with my job, no fun until lunch time and I get to catch a little shopping. I still have not heard anything from my insurance company on if they have approved me. My husband and I were heading toward Branson Missouri the end of Sept for a short vacation when I found out my insurance would cover the surgery. Thought the doctor's office would submit the info at that time. I called the doctor's office last week and found they had submitted the week prior. Guess I will continue to play the waiting game for a couple more weeks. Them I will start contacting the insurance co. So are you planning on being private pay? Going to Mexico??

Hi there busywoman, I live in Eddyville, so your just right down the road from me. We went to Clarksville today to Logans and to the mall and target. I've been a nervous wreck all weekend, my sons engaged and she spent the weekend with us too so my dear sweet hubby is sending me to Nashville in the morning for 4 days to shop and just get away. I sooooo need it. So nice to meet you. When are you having your sugery. You'll be soooo proud you had it, it's been the most wonderful decision of my life other than my husband of course. LOL

Keep in touch neighbor,
