Kristi!!!!!! Jan is not all that far away!! For sure you need to ask for an

antidepressant, one that will help calm you down. Dr R is delaying your

surgery for YOU. So that you will be safer and get well faster. During this

time you can concentrate on the exercises that you can do, eating healthy and

for sure doing some relaxation exercises for your mind. Maybe get someone to

work with you and learn to meditate, yoga really helps some folks. Water

aerobics would be wonderful for you. You simply must keep busy when you are

not saying your prayers!!! I send you these suggestions out of love and

friendship. My surgery was Jan 10th and I must say that Jan. is an excellent

month for this surgery!!! OK???? Breathe in through your nose and exhale

through pursed lips very very slowly. Practice this technique over and over

and you will become more relaxed. I am in Pulmonary Rehab now for the next

year to help me with my health issues. I have severe scoliosis (curvature of

the spine) which has crushed my left lung. Now that I have lost 93 lbs I

stand a lot better chance of getting my body in good shape if I work

faithfully in the rehab program. Thanks to Dr Rutledge. Even after surgery

and weight loss there is more to do, so keep in mind this is a lifetime

persuit. Our goal is wonderful healthy living and we have to work on it

forever. Love and strength to you, in Missouri

Dear ,

I am from Missouri too, tucked in the southwest corner of the state. I just

started the process. I just about have my packet completed, I'm waiting to

include the information from my PCP (appointment is not until September 1,

2000). As soon as the results from the PAP smear are back I think I'll be

ready to send it in. Have not heard anything back from my insurance company

yet - Premier Health. I'm just going with the assumption they will be

merciful and then I will have everything in place and be ready to go. If

not, I have three teenagers for sale. Let me know if you have heard of

anyone from this area going to Durham, their insurance experiences, and if

there is a support group here locally.

I am in Springfield Missouri home of Bass Pro!!!!???? Home of Southwest

Missouri State University. Glad you liked my post. I was really trying to

tell it like it is!!

I am from Springfield, Missouri and I also have Premiere and they refused to

pay for my surgery which was last Jan. 10, 2000. I now have a lawyer and am

sueing them. I will be glad to try and help you in any way that I can.

Dear ,

My heart sank into my stomach when I read your e-mail this morning. I still

have not heard anything from Premier (only sent Dr. R's letter to them last

Tuesday). When I called Premier this morning they said they still had not

approved or denied the request. When you received your denial from Premier

was it with the same request letter that Dr. R sends out now? I thought the

letter was so informative and proved medical necessity that they would be

hard pressed to deny. Which plan under Premier do you, did you, have when

they denied you? Did you do an appeal letter? I take it, since you had the

surgery in January, that you did self pay? How did that work? I live in

Nevada, Missouri so we're only two hours from each other. I'm thankful you

responded to my e-mail so I'll have someone close that can give me the

scoop. Look forward to hearing from you.

I have the Premiere ins that St s employees have, whatever kind that

is??? Anyway we went through every appeal in the book and they made me think

that they were going to approve my surgery. They made me try xenical first

and go to St Louis and see a supposed obesity expert first, which was a big

waste of time. Now we are sueing them and I have an excellent lawyer. You

are welcome to call me at 864 4123. I will try to help you in any way that

I can. We have to make them pay for our surgery, no matter what it takes as

we have so many others that need to go to from St s. bye now.
