Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Hi and Amy, My name is Patty and I have the surgery last October. I had never met Dr. Levin either until the date of my surgery and he is wonderful. The whole experience was great. Dr Levin and his staff keep you informed of everything they do or going to do. I was never in the dark. The hotel is wonderful also, and the nursing staff on the 2nd floor are a huge help. Hope everything goes well. Lots of Luck.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Hi Amy, He is in Louisville, KY. Are you thinking of using him? I wholeheartedly urge you to do so, he is a wonderful and caring doctor, and I haven't even met him face-to-face yet! But during my phone consult, he was so very patient and kind, and never made me feel rushed or silly for asking so many questions. I believe he truly does care about his patients. Looking forward to hearing from you!!! Hart - 32 DH Jon - 37 DD Arianne - 14 DD a - 6 DS - 2 TL 6/16/98 TR 6/4/01 - Dr. Levin Re: OK, it just hit me big time....

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Amy, What I am having done is the reversal, yes. What we did was enroll in Dr. Levin's prepayment program. I thought at first that it may actually take the full 2 years to pay it off, but we started paying on it in January and had it paid off by mid-April, I think. Isn't that sad, I can't remember exactly! Anyway, we were fortunate that the timing was right - we had both gotten Christmas bonuses, and raises during that time, and we sent most of the Christmas bonus money as well as our entire tax refund to Dr. Levin. We cut corners at home and managed to send every spare dollar to help pay it off. At one point, before we began his prepayment plan, we had pretty well decided it would take us too long to get the funds together and gave up on the idea of a reversal for a couple of months. Then one night we were in Wal Mart, and my husband took our 2 year old to the potty, so I said I would wait right there until they got back...well, I turned around and realized I was standing right by the newborn sleepers, and my heart just broke. Imagine it, I was standing in the middle of Wal Mart crying! We talked a little about it on the way home, and by the next morning, I had worked out the budget to where we could afford it. What surprised me the most was when I told my husband I had figured it out, he said " Thank God, because I had no idea how I was going to convince you that we could afford it! " Shortly thereafter, we signed our prepayment contract! If it is something you want with your heart and soul, you will find a way to afford it. You can borrow money from a 401k plan at work for medical expenses without penalty, put it on a credit card, or apply for a loan. Or, I recommend the prepayment plan, too. Me being the most impatient person in the world, I didn't want to wait that long, but I am so glad now that I decided to go ahead and do it. It goes faster than you think at times, and you can do like we did and send extra whenever you have it. I wish you the best in pursuing your dreams...believe me, they do come true. I have faith that this is what God meant for me to be doing. I was born to be a mom, and I love doing it. Best to you, and I will keep you in my prayers!!!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Thank you, Patty! I have heard nothing but wonderful things about Dr. Levin and his staff, and I agree 100%! A few times I have had last minute questions, and either Dr. Levin, , or Venicia always answered them very quickly and they are always so kind. Thank you again!!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 I used 2 credit cards to pay Dr Levin then consolidated all my bills with a 2nd mortgage on the house, so I tax wrote off the medical expenses and now I tax write off the 2nd mortgage interest. www.mfdha.com Charlene Re: OK, it just hit me big time.... > > > > > > Hello Rebcecca my name is amy i was the one asking you where his office is > located.i am looking to have a tubal reversal, i just havent got the funds right > now.i recently got married well on august 12 almost a year but we have been > together 6 years i have 4 children from previous but i had my tubes tied > thinking there would never be another man in my life well my ex more or less > talked me in to it...I hope something will work out for me soon,,,,do you know > of any kind of programs or anything that helps with this....are you having the > reversal done if you dont mind me asking or is it something similar.good luck to > you and i will keep you iin my prayers,,god bless....amy > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It covers just about everything with my pregnancy too! I don't even have to pay my co-pay. I know, it is VERY unusual for a work based health care plan.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 I know it is difficult. As I said I still had to pre-pay Dr. Levin's office. We had to max out a credit card and wait (and pray) for the insurance company to come through. It is easier said than done, but be patient and carefully look at your options. Check out the pre-payment plan, perhaps it could work for you. I had my husband to be the rational one or else I would have " sold the farm " to get the surgery done. : ) Take care... --- Deborah On Thu, 31 May 2001 11:14:22 Amy Nealey wrote: > > > >dEBORAH PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO GET THE MONEY TO >HAVE THE TUBAL REVERSAL DONR THANKS AMY > > > Get 250 color business cards for FREE! http://businesscards.lycos.com/vp/fastpath/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 Thank you very much, I appreciate it. My husband and I have this thing where it seems we always feel opposite of each other - like if he is worried, I am not, or if I am nervous, he isn't. Funny thing is, he has just become Mr. Nerves and sent me an e-mail list of last minute things to do...#13 on the list is " Freak out some more! " I was rolling laughing!!! Now I am not nervous at all!!!

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2001 Report Share Posted May 31, 2001 I am sure everything thing will be fine. Dr. Levin and his staff are very nice. Even the staff at the Jewish Inn (if you plan to stay there for a few days) are in tune with Dr. Levin's patients and will assist you while you are staying there. Good luck with your surgery. I am sure there are success wishes flying at you from all directions so from the southern connection of those us trying to conceive I am sending you my blessings.
