Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 Deborah Don't wait. Get all the info you can. Be very informed before you make any decision. Katy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 12, 1999 Report Share Posted April 12, 1999 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 14, 1999 Report Share Posted April 14, 1999 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.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2000 Report Share Posted May 25, 2000 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. Mid Sussex Branch, trainee ANT (Mum to Iona & Findlay) Adeline said: " My name is Adeline and I have 2 boys soon to be aged 7 & 4 years of age. I was a community midwife till I was forced to give up due to my eldest boy needing major liver surgery and moving to the Isle of Man. My attempts to go back to work have been thwarted by very unsociable working hours and a husband that works away from home. 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 any interested parties that could help me in my quest.Oh! by the way there is no NCT in the Isle of Man. looking forward to participating in the egroup.

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.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2001 Report Share Posted October 30, 2001 Welcome Aimee, This is an awesome group!!! I cant wait to read your posts. Zephyr New Member 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
