Start by seeing a surgeon who specializes in this area and he can tell him the steps to take. For instance, my surgeon recommends a doctor to send you to that can detail the "medically supervised diet" most insurances require. I didn't need him, but he has several listed. <BR/><BR/>I look forward to the journey as well...Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257660639811126906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350071378919453815.post-85322995715656952962008-02-15T16:08:00.000-06:002008-02-15T16:08:00.000-06:00Linda,I'm sorry I thought you knew...IT is really ...Linda,<BR/>I'm sorry I thought you knew...IT is really going to happen!!!Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257660639811126906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350071378919453815.post-64491053017628700732008-02-15T12:24:00.000-06:002008-02-15T12:24:00.000-06:00That's awesome Dana!
