I have my consult scheduled with Dr. Potts for Sept 7, just have to get my pap done and attend 2 seminars and then I am ready to go! Maybe by the end of the year?

Woohoo!!! I'm so excited for you! You can do both the classes in September and get your pap done that month too. I bet by October you'll be crossing over!

Robin, Robin....lerking out there.....hummm....good to see ya! yes, I am scheduled for my pap early September. Are you Dr. Potts or Dr. C? I know you said Pacificare doesn't cover Potts, however, Rose in the office said Pacificare DOES, so I chose him. Whatcha think?

Perhaps I didn't clarify, It depends on who you are contracted through, Sharp Resteely, or Sharp Community. Either surgeon is outstanding. We will both be in very good hands!

Tami....I'd die of stress if I could't see him till FEB!
Robin...do you have a surgery month/week in mind for yourself?
Annelle - you gave me bad reputation points....what's up with that?

Linda, I thought I was going to die of stress when I got that message. I started to write you back, but I just couldn't because I didn't think I was being supportive enough!!

Woo hoo! You are almost there! If you have consult in Sept, I'd guess late Oct or early Nov depending on insurance. I had PacifiCare and it went thru quickly.
