Guest guest Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Hi Lori, I am confused. Did you have to go on disability since you had WLS? What happened that you are disabled? That's a bummer. Hope things improve for you and you can get back to work etc. Sherry in Knoxville TN BLUZGAL REMEMBER---LIFE IS A JOURNEY--NOT A DESTINATION!

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Shortly after I got approved for the surgery and getting my surgery date, I ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. To complicate things, I also had severe sleep apnea, out of control diabetes, diabetic sores that were not healing, hyperthyroidism, elevated cholesterol, and I am sure I forgot something. Because of the congestive heart failure and COPD, I was also wheelchair bound. I attempted to go back to work after having surgery and didn't last but about a week. Finally contacted the disability office and was approved for SSD in 75 days. I had always told myself that WLS was a last resort. Unfortunately, I had almost waited to long.

Guest guest Posted June 9, 2003 Report Share Posted June 9, 2003 I forgot to ask for you to pray for my doctors. Dr. Tucker and Dr. Bauer. I gave them some papers to fill out and sign for my disability. I really need them to do that so I won't lose my insurance. Thanks So Much, Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
