Daniel Herron
"I met with Dr Herron on 2/8/01. He was very nice and friendly. He took time to explain both procedures and helped me narrow it down to Lap RNY. We decided on a surgery date of 4/9/01. Diana and Evette were great. What a staff!! So far I feel that I made the right choice and can't wait to have the surgery. Dr Herron also assured me that the insurance should not be a problem. He said that as long as my BMI was over 40 they will approve it. I hope and pray he is right. He seemed so confident. UPDATE: I have changed my mind and am now seeking the Lap BPD/DS instead of the Lap RNY Many nights of research has brought me to this decision. Dr Herron actually called me on 3/12/01 & 3/14/01 to discuss both surgies in full again. He is WONDERFUL!! We spoke for about 25 minutes and he did not rush me or try to get rid of me. He agrees with me about the BPD/DS and on 4/9/01 he will "switch" me!!! 4-4-01 UPDATE: Last week Diana Gee from Dr Herron's office called me and asked me if I would like to move my date up to 4*6*01 and of course I said, "YES"!! So I am 48 hours away from being switched and I am so excited If it wasn't for Diana Gee and my own leg work I would not be having the BPD/DS because Daryl in the ins dept DID NOT submit the correct code and it was almost too late. I found out YESTERDAY that I was approved for the BPD/DS when I should have known at least 2 weeks ago. It was sheer torment waiting to see which surgery you are having and not knowing until the very last minute!! I really appreciate Diana Gee and I am very disappointed at the treatment that I rec'd from Daryl. Take matters into your own hands like I did and get the surgery you truly want!!!!!! GOD BLESS!!!!! UPDATE: DR HERRON IS THE BEST SKILLED SURGEON IN THE WORLD!!! I AM HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL ONE DAY AND I FEEL GREAT. HE PERFORMED THE LAP BPD/DS WITH SUCH PRECISION THAT I AM EATING AND DRINKING AND TAKING MY PILLS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. HE IS TOPS!!!!!"
