Guest guest Posted January 28, 2004 Report Share Posted January 28, 2004 Dear Candi, Protein aids in many ways, in addition to helping muscles. It helps in healing your body from surgery and it aids in the weight loss. We need the protein to be up there in order to keep the weight loss strong. Sometimes (not always) it also helps in less of a loss of hair. It just helps all around. live each day like it's your last... love like you've never been hurt...

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 Oh I didn't take it bad. I am a duck (or so my hubby says)...everything just rolls right off my back. Candi CANDI Sorry sweety. I'm just frustrated. Dr. Eagon takes Medicaid, but I'd have to wait until 2007! ~No hard feelings~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know I can get it done on medicaid, it's just that finding a surgeon who will do it in the near future is the problem. Connie 313/praying for 120 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Well any way it goes it may take a while. My wait time was 18 months. That is of course from the time I saw my PCM and asked for the referral and actually had the surgery. It actually would have been longer except someone got a lung infection and I was able to take their surgery date. I think it would have been 20 months if I had not been able. I think long waits are fairly typical. I know once I had the referral it was hard for me to find a surgeon as well. Mostly because right about the same time there was a huge rise in the malpractice premiums for doing this surgery. There were numerous doctors who stopped performing the surgery in our area because of it. Candi CANDI I know I can get it done on medicaid, it's just that finding a surgeon who will do it in the near future is the problem.
