Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Lin tell Sue we are here for her also. She's family too. Has she tried having her pcp advocate for her to have wls. Sometimes, state insurance will cover something if its medical necessary when at other times they normally do not.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I have looked into that and they will not cover any WLS for any reason and I think it really stinks. Our governor thought that he could save the state millions of dollars by cutting it out and if you look at Medicare covering it now, I think he made on stupid mistake because Medicare says that it is saving them money because of less health care costs because it is preventative. I am thinking very seriously about contacting my state senator and seeing if I can get something going there again. Lin 422-338-250 Lhsh@... American by birth, Saved by the grace of God.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Well that's the pits. Contacting him/her would be a start. I'm sure there is many more folks that need wls there. Heck you get the email and I'll send him one too for all it'd be worth. He doesn't have to know where I live. Maybe that's something we all could do. Who knows? Give Sue a hug for me. > > > > I think that is utterly awesome and I think it is great that we can > have > > such a positive influence on others and the only thing I wish is > that our > > state insurance would start covering the gastric bypass surgery > again so > > that my wife could have it.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I will definitely do that. I will more than likely do it after the first of the year when I know that he will be there in his office and may even forward it my senator and will let you know when I write it because I feel really passionate about this.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I'm serious Lin, anything I can do to help, I will. Just a suggestion, when you get the info and you're ready to do it. Post it for all to see so if they choose to email them on the issue of wls they can, if that made sense.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I will definitely do that. I will be calling next week to find out his direct email address and when I write it, maybe I can forward it to the rest of the group. Lin 422-338-250 Lhsh@...
