Welcome to the group, sorry you're here. I know how frustrating it

is to not have an A-list near. You may want to read up on some

insurance posts from members who've gotten (through vigorous

fighting) approval to see a specialist on the A-list.

Also, you mentioned that your insurance company will cover $6000 of

infertility care. My experience is that Asherman's is NOT considered

infertility treatment for insurance purposes. Again, you need to

make sure the diagnosis is listed as Asherman's, but there are

medical reasons to treat it regardless of fertility. You may have

another possible fight on your hand, but try not to use the 6000 on

this. Ask questions if you need more help.

My case began as a mild one as diagnosed at the first surgery, but

symptoms returned and the next time it was severe. The second doctor

couldn't get the scar tissue in the upper uterus out. I did not have

an A or B list for these surgeries, so I will from now on!! It

actually may save you money in the number of surgeries and in future

fertility costs to seek the help of someone who has experience.

Exactly. For insurance purposes, it's not definitely not infertility,

it's a medical disease, but you might need to remind your doctor to

label it that way.

Could you have had an infection at some point that caused the scarring? We do have some cases where this has been known. Others had an abortion years ago which got forgotten about and then realised that this could have been the cause. But we do have a few cases where there is no known explanation.

The severity of your ashermans will only really be known when your doctor goes inside to view it. I guess one way to find out if he is competent enough is to ask him how many Ashermans surgeries he does in a year. If he says a few or 3 or 4 then it is likely that he is not going to be that well competent. If he does hundreds like Dr Indman, Dr March, Dr Palter, or Dr Valle, then you can be sure that he is quite competent. My recommendation for a second opinion was to go and see one of these top specialists that I mentioned above. Did you check the A list of doctors? Are there none near Florida? I'm not from the US so I don't know how near or far they are from you.

Anyway, if your decision is to stick to your original doctor, then who knows, he may be able to clear your uterus and we may have another doctor which you could recommend for the B list. Good luck in your decision and please keep us updated on your situation.

Welcome ! That's great that you have hit 200 even. I hope to join you

this year. You certainly are doing a lot of things right. I'm Jinx, 49, mother

to Gavin, 8.

Hi, My name is Holgate and I am from Boise Idaho. In July of

last year, I quit my job, broke up with my boyfriend of three years,

and decided it was time to get healthy. I purchased a membership at

Golds Gym (which I LOOOVVVEEE) and also have a personal trainer

through them, which I couldn't live with out. My starting weight was

219.5 and I am now at 200 even as of today!! I am hoping this group

will give me a little bit of a jump start, and I am hoping that I can

offer some insight (I took a nutrition class this semester and loved

it). I am also 19 and a sophomore (well in two days when finals are

over) at Boise State University. I also enjoy scrapbooking and

watching movies.

Thanks!!

Hi and welcome! I am Sharon, a 31 yo SAHM of two little

ones, now 5 and 6. I started my journey towards better health two

weeks ago, at a weight of 243, and I am at 234.5 as of yesterday. I

am fairly new to the group as well, but I can tell you this is a

wonderful place for advice and support. Take care, hope to hear

more from you soon.

Congratulations on losing almost 20 pounds! It is great that you are getting in

gear with your health while you are still young, and I am sure you will see a

lot of success, especially since you seem to really enjoy your exercise! This

group is great, and you will find a lot of support here, through good times and

bad.

Best of Luck!

Hi

Welcome to WLB!!!!!

Congrats on the 19.5lbs already lost, thats great.

There is lots of great info in some of the back posts.

And you will get tons of support in here.

Are you drinking plenty of water? A good rule of thumb

is to halve your weight, then that is the amount in

ounces you should be drinking, though more if you

exercise, which I see you do. :-)

Great to meet you, I'm Sue H. 54, married for 35yrs on

1st June, 2 grown kids, no longer at home. 152lbs,

Have been heavier and lighter. lol.

Just jump right in and let us know how you're getting

on. Good luck with your finals.

Hugs

Sue H.

Anything that knocks you off track does so because you have allowed it to.

-Welcome to the best club on the web (atleast in my

opinion). Wow 19, to be that young. Your age is going to be a real

assett in achieving your goals. (Good for you in deciding to make

the right choices now.) What is your major, if I may ask? Meaghan

Theresa,

Hi! Welcome to WLB, the most supportive and informative group on

the net for wight loss! If you are looking for support and

motivation, you found the right place! I am Sharon, a 31 yo SAHM of

two school aged kids, and I am on the path to losing about 80

pounds. You won't find any quick fixes here, you will find that

what we all have in common, although we follow different plans or

are designing our own plan, we all are trying to eat better, drink

more water, and exercise 3-5 times a week. Some are following

Atkins, others use Weight Watchers, some are using low fat, but we

are all drinking lots of water (right everyone? ;-)) making better

food choices, and walking, running, swimming, weight training, or

some other exercising our way to our goals...good luck with yours,

hope to see you posting often!

Theresa,

I so agree with you because I was the same way and thought I was chubby, but

now I would kill to be that amt, cause it would be past my goal so that would

be super cool... I am doing good on workouts but going to weight watchers to

eat right to keep the pounds coming over consistently.... just wanted to

share..

Robyn

So much to do in so little time.

Theresa,

I know exactly what you mean! At 16, I thought I was SO disgustingly fat in

sizes 7/9... now I would kill to wear a 7 again! I'm Jette in Raleigh, NC. I

am 30, mom to age 10, and wife of Chris. My highest weight has been 300

disgusting pounds! I am currently down to 262, shedding them slowly but

surely.

This is a great group, with lots of friendly and motivating people! Just

reading posts each day helps me keep my mind on track, so I don't " forget "

my goals. I am sure you will enjoy being here.

Jette

> Hi, I am a new member to this group. I am looking for some support in my

quest to lose about 50 or more pounds. It's amazing how your weight loss

goals can snowball! Back when I was 16 and 140 lbs, I thought I was fat and

wanted to lost weight. Now I would give anything to be back at that size! I

don't eat too badly, but do enjoy food, so a really strict diet is not for

me. I know my problem area - the dreaded EXERCISE. I get so bored! How do

other people keep motivated and what types of exercise have been successful

for you?

Theresa,

YES YES YES! I think that is part of how I got so far gone...I will

be getting my next shot in July, so I think that I shall test the

theory for you then, we shall see if I gain weight right after my

next shot...remind me! That damn shot has always made me want to do

nothing but eat and sleep for about 2 days after I get it, and then

I am back to " normal " . I'd be happy with a 12/14 right now

too...hell, I would be happy with 18s, lmao! I'll take what I can
