"Had consult on 2-8-01 for the DS but was not approved after appeals. Started getting the ball rolling for the RNY with Dr. Smith in July, '01.
I have decided to go with Dr. Smith after all. I want the security of knowing I'm in competent hands. I'll update once I hear from the office as to my upcoming surgery!
Nov. '01: Pre op visit and hospital pre admission appointments will be in December, with surgery scheduled for January 2nd, 2002."
