Hi Sheri and welcome to the group

This and That From a New Member

> Hello Everyone,

> I'm fairly new to the group and I am just now starting the wls

investigation. I thought I would mention a few of things. They may be old

news to most of you but just in case.........

> It appears the money spent on weight lose is now tax

deductible-www.obesity.org/subs/tax/taxguide.shtml. This may give some

relief to those fighting the insurance battle. Along those same lines,there

is the Obesity Law and Advocacy Center-obesitylaw.com.

> Lastly, I just received a book I ordered called A Complete Guide To

Obesity Surgery, obesitysurgerybook.com. It covers every area from sample

letters to insurance companies, shopping lists,charts and definitions. It

also has several excellent web sites such as www.lightenupradio.com.

> The only surgery it has anything negative comments are the mini gastric

by-pass.

> I tend to ramble so I'll sign off now.

> Love and Hugs to all in the WLS Universe.

> Sheri

> PS; My favorite quote that I think is very appropriate for us- " Some people

stay in hell a very long time because they know the name of the streets! "

> I think by researching the surgery we have bought a map and thus a way out

of hell.!!!
