Guest guest Posted May 17, 2001 Report Share Posted May 17, 2001 I am new here, and going to start tomorrow, I will need support so I thought I would find it on this loop. I plan on sausage and eggs for breakfast, can I have half and half in my coffee? I have to have my coffee (decaf). Thanks and appreciate any suggestions for breakfast, lunch and supper plus snacks that have made it easier for you. Marsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 Welcome, . Where do you live? (The reason I ask is because we've recently had on the list a woman from Texas, I believe, who found an organization to help her pay for her surgery.) Pam in Niceville preop Lap RNY 11/20/02 Dr. Champion/Atlanta New here Hello my name is and I am 24 I am 5'1 and I weigh 225-230. I can't afford the surgery (ms). My step-mother had it done in May and she looks great and feels great. I decided to join this group in hope that maybe one day I will be able to join the many of you that have gone through with this procedure.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 - Welcome. So glad to have you with us. I take it you don't have insurance? Did you mean that you have MS? Are you on disability? Do you have Medicaid? I know there is a 2 year wait before you get it after being disabled. We have a gal here who found a group to pay for her surgery. Maybe you could research something like that. She is Terri and lives in Texas. Don't give up hope. Your turn can come, too. Take care.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 , my name is Terri Sas. I am the one from Texas that Jeanne told you about that has no insurance either. I am going through the Texas Rehabilitation Commission. Their main goal is to get those who are unable to work back to work. Due to my weight I can not stand up for more than about 10 minutes on my own without having back spasms, leg weakness, knee problems,and so on. So I was told to go to them and see if they could help. So far so good. I was approved by my counselor and by her supervisor... now just waiting on one more approval from the medical examiner then it is a go. So I dont know yet if I will get it done. Not until this last person says yes or no. My counselor seems to think it will go through. She already set me up on a " plan " .. that is basically me signing a statement that once I am able to work i will go back to work... I had no problem at all with signing that. I own my own business right now, and it is booming. But would like to be able to get out and push my business so that is what my goal is when i can work. I am hoping to find out something this week on the verdict of my status. I have been doing a bunch of praying and crying. This is so stressful just waiting. Well... the reason for me telling you all this is that for what I have heard.. every state has their own rehabilitation commission. You might want to talk to them and see what they say. They might be able to help you. I thought people were crazy that someone would help like that, and i gave it a shot anyway... thank God I did. This might go through for me and if it does then I will have a chance at a second life. A life to do so much better than i did the first time. Good luck. I hope all goes well with you.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2002 Report Share Posted September 17, 2002 OK, . Thanks for the clarification. Usually if I'm unsure of a spelling I used, I might put a (sp?) after it. LOL! I'm sure you will be a great member of our list. Keep studying hard and your day will come. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 256./150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@...

Guest guest Posted September 18, 2002 Report Share Posted September 18, 2002 Chad - I didn't need any tests performed until it was time for the pre-op testing. I didn't even see Dr. Chua until after my approval was all set. So, you'll have to let me know where you're at. I assume you've had to have a psych consult and stuff before hand? I would think your next move would be to follow up and make sure that the info. gets to Tammy Lynn, and then you have to play the waiting game for your approval. It could take a couple of months. By the way, there is a support group meeting tonight - 6:00 at the same place where the info. meetings are held. I don't think I will be attending as my back is bothering me and I don't feel well. It's 3 a.m. right now and I'm not sleeping either. I would say give Tammy Lynn a call to see where you're at and if there's anything else you need to do to keep the ball rolling. Let me know if there's anything else I can do. Jeanne in WI Age 39 Open RNY 05/21/2002 314/ 256./150-175 5' 8 " djgraves@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
