Guest guest Posted July 23, 2000 Report Share Posted July 23, 2000 Just an added note here - unfortunately not all states have GOOD waiver programs. Oregon does indeed have a waiver program, but it is still income based - you are only allowed a little higher income than with traditional medicaid so it's worthless to us.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Sylvia, It took me nearly 4 months from the surgeon consult till I got my date, and another 2.5 months for the date to get here. Everybody is different, and from what I see every surgeon is different, and then there is the ever-painful insurance process. What ever the time frame is, try not to feel disappointed or discouraged while waiting because there is a wealth of knowledge to be had in the interim which renders you better prepared for the surgery. -Kathy 9/25/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 22, 2000 Report Share Posted September 22, 2000 Hi Sylvia, I'm not sure on Dr. Thayre, but I believe it's running approx 1 1/2-2 months out, but I may be WAY off, I'm sure someone on here could inform you a bit better than myself. Best of luck with you on the 18th of October! Did you prepare a list of questions you may have, along with health history, etc? Dawn (unknown) Hi Everyone, I am normally lurker. I read all the e-mails and find for the most part they are very informative. I have my first consult with Dr.Thayer on Oct. 18th, and I do have a question? How long usually after the first visit do you have to wait for a surgery date? Sylvia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Sylvia-I waited about 6 weeks to get a surgery date (June 9, 2000-down 54 lbs since then!). I'm not sure if the wait time is the same now. Dr. Thayer and his team are great! Good luck at your consult. It's such an exciting time! Feel free to ask me any questions about WLS and welcome to the list! Steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2001 Report Share Posted September 23, 2001 Glenda, Please know that your new friend here in Indianapolis is thinking about you, hoping that you get through these difficult days. We lost twin boys at 24 weeks. Even though I know that is not the same, I do have some of your same feelings. I always think what we would be doing today, if they would have been born. We have no other children, so you go through the " what if " dyndrome every day of your life. I hope God holds you this weekend, please know that there are better days ahead for you, Carol S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 24, 2001 Report Share Posted September 24, 2001 Glenda, I'm thinking of you today... Eden Grace's " birthday " . Your love for your daughter will never die, even though she can't be with you physically. Anniversaries are so hard. We just passed the 8th year after the stillbirth of my first daughter. Time just seems to slow as you approach " the day " , doesn't it? Go ahead and place that marker, read over the notes and cards you received, look at any pictures and mementos you have and go ahead and cry. Each year brings healing and strength, though they are tempered with sadness. Your prior posts indicate a strong faith. One thing I remember vividly is of my husband and myself praying throughout the pregnancy that this child would glorify God. It helped tremendously to realize our daughter was doing just that, in a more personal way than we could ever imagine in this life on earth. It does make you yearn for heaven just a little bit more! Someday you will meet your daughter again and she will be very proud of the strong and caring person you have become. Love and hugs, Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 3, 2003 Report Share Posted September 3, 2003 I've written Kat privately with my thoughts on this matter. All I will say here is that I would have a hard time believing that anyone on this list "bad mouthed" another group member. I've never known a more loving, kind, compassionate and caring group of women who make it their mission to uplift and support other members who are facing the same trials and tribulations we all suffer from these diseases. I just don't see it happening here. Christy Re: (unknown) I agree with Kat It is always best to come out in the open with it rather than starting rumors or vindictiveness. If you have a problem with an individual it is only proper that you confront and deal with those issues with that person only. Unless it gets to be to the point where possible slander ofcharacter is concerned. Then having a witness is handy. Other than that it is between just you and that person.

Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Wow! This is an interesting topic. I too developed at an early age. When I was 12, 13 or 14 I remember wearing a short set that was a bit too short and tight for me (at the time, I did not know it) and as I was walking down the street I remember guys whisteling from their cars. I thought "wow, I must look good!" But when I got home, my Mom called me a slut and was mad that I was wearing what I was wearing. I truly had no idea that it was as bad as it was. Everytime I have been thin, I have easily entered into relationships with men - many I must say were not very healthy relationships. I know, now that I am older, that my weight protects me. I am working on realizing that I am now healthy emotionally and would be able to handle any relationship with a man and be able to recongnize an unhealthy relationship and be strong and take care of myself. And sometimes I think I'm ready and other times I'm no so sure and that is where the weight protects me and keeps me hidden, if that makes any sense. --Alana -------------- Original message -------------- It makes sense, and there has been a lot of talk about how many women use extra weight as a form of protection, because we DON'T want to be reduced to objects! I started developing at age 15, and I looked older than I was.

Infact my husband and I have had this conversation a lot lately. He feels that I am a bit of a femanist when it comes to modesty. You know what I guess I am if that means that I feel that women are being devalued more and more we take off our clothing and have everything that God gave us out there for everyone to see. I think that this whole idea of flant it if you got it, is one of my hang ups with losing weight. I don't want to flaunt anything. I want to get healthy so that I am able to have the energy and clear mind that I need to be the best mom to my adorable three children. Sometimes I think it is easier dealing with being a little plump more than with cat calls and seeing people look at me like I am an obeject. I feel like my wieght protects me from that. People really have to get to know ME for who I am.
