Deborah,

Call his office. Debbie will send you the book. You need it to get

the ball rolling. If you start getting your letters together, get your

physical, etc., while you are losing your weight, you will speed up the

process.

I know that Medicare covers the surgery if certain criteria are met. I do

not know what that criteria is. Debbie will tell you or find out for you if

she doesn't know.

Hope this helps,

Don't wait. Get all the info you can. Be very informed before you make any

decision.

Hi Deborah

I am Kathy, I live in SC too!!! Just south of Charlotte, NC. Where do

u live? Dr R is great about letting you go through the admissions

process while " fighting " with the insurance company. If I were you I

would start on EVERY area. I would fill out all the requirementes for

Dr R, I would apply for the WLS for Medicare, and I would work on the

weight. You may found that you will have a battle on your hands with

the insurance company, but we are here to help with any questions. Good

luck,

Kathy

Well hello there, sis! oops...maybe you didn't want anybody to know you are

MY SISTER. Sorry if I blew your cover. ha ha ha I'm glad you've joined us

for our insanity sessions. They are very informative and spirit-lifting!

We're all REAL relaxed here, so pull up a chair and type away. And we love

sharing embarrassing stories relating to our " purely cosmetic because we

just aren't good enough to do anything about it so no insurance company will

cover the cost to have it fixed " sagas (oh, and we like stories about boobie

tricks and weak chairs, too).

You may want to share a few stats about yourself once you feel comfortable.

Welcome Adeline

I hope you have some joy with training as a breastfeeding counsellor. If

you have no NCT in the Isle of Man is there something else which has the

same function? What about antenatal classes? I look forward to getting to

know you.

I am very interested in becoming a breast feeding counsillor having

breast feed both my children for a year each and would love to hear from

Welcome Adeline

How do you fancy setting up a new IOM branch? ;-) (Joke - but the idea may

grow on you!)How many members does it take to set up a new branch (does that

sound like how many men does it take to chnge a light bulb!!)

I work for a company which has an office in the IOM. I am trying to get the

main company to do corporate membership. I wonder if we may get a few IOM

members through it (probably not till next year) I`m working on it!

Enjoy the chat, Adeline.

Good morning everyone! My name is Aimee, and I just joined your group last night. A little about myself: I'm 27 (going to be 28 this Saturday), married, and I don't have any children yet. I live in Ohio. I joined WW on July 2nd and have lost a little over 35 pounds so far. I'm hoping to make 50 pounds by Christmas, but if I don't, I'm not going to worry over it. The weight will still come off in January if I hit my personal goal or not. I look forward to getting to know everyone here, and thanks for letting me join your group. *hugs* Aimee 277.4/242/135 OP since 7/02/2001
