Guest guest Posted May 14, 1999 Report Share Posted May 14, 1999 This sounds great! It sounds just like the kind of program t.v. people are interested in. Maybe all of us should send her an e-mail. I wrote her after the show about the Fobi pouch surgery to get additional information and she (or someone) wrote me back with the information. Pat in Texas Just a thought Hey All!! I don't know if any of you have considered this, or if the idea has been posted before (I'm sorry if it has and I missed it), but has anyone here ever tried writing the Roseanne show about the struggles involved with insurance companies refusing to pay for weight loss surgery? I know we've all kind of talked about fighting the industry and I thought a daytime talk show might be a good place to start since Roseanne had the Flobi Pouch procedure. I thought she might be sympathetic to our plight and help with getting some of those dirt bags, I mean insurance company administrators, on her show to " discuss " the issue with some of us...DEFINITELY KATHY!!! What do you think? Ideas? Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 1999 Report Share Posted May 15, 1999 Hi ! This is Roseanne's show's email address: roseanne@... . You should be able to click on the hyper to bring up a new mail window. I found it at her show's site. It's the email address they give for responding to them regarding show ideas they have posted so I'm hopeful it is going to get us heard. I would love to see Walter Lindstrom, Dr. Rutledge, and some of us up against those whimpering little cowards who call themselves insurance administrators. I think we could do something really positive especially if we target the really bad groups like Kathy's Kaiser.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 1999 Report Share Posted May 16, 1999 Hey Janet, I e-mailed the Roseann show. We'll see where it gets us! It would be great if she listened and did a show like we're asking! Let me know if you hear anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 1999 Report Share Posted May 17, 1999 That was a good one, Beth. Biologically altered...I like that. I think after surgery I'll refer to myself this way too. I'm biologically altered, thank you for asking :-). My daughter has red hair (very very copper red) and when people ask her where she got her red hair from, we've taught her to reply since she was two as, " recessive genes. " That one always gets a chuckle too. I like the " unexpected " answers. I really hope Roseanne listens to us. It would be great to get a nationally syndicated voice but i'm not holding my breath.

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2001 Report Share Posted August 27, 2001 Is it me or do many of our stories sound to familiar. No period after a D & C don't you think immediatley Asherman's should pop up as one possibility? I had my D & C in June and called 3 times before they would even make me an appointment in late September. I knew something was wrong and nobody would listen. WHy won't doctors listen, we know our bodies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
