Ellenm -

Dr. Battista did my BAHA and I love it.

I know you are a patient of Dr. Wiet's, but I'm not sure he does BAHAs anymore.

Anyway, if you need some input for your debate, please feel free to call or PM me - I'll be glad to answer any questions you have.

Best,

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

It's official.  I am on the calendar.  My BAHA surgery is scheduled for January 29.  I have a letter from BCBS stating that I am approved for the insurance coverage of the complete BAHA System including the processor.  I still don't know exactly how this happened, but I am thrilled about it.  Can't wait to be among the "hearing" again.

Thanks for all of your support.
