Guest guest Posted September 17, 2000 Report Share Posted September 17, 2000 Hi. I think that many of us have neglected to go to the Doctor BECAUSE of our weight. It is really embarrassing to go just to have them tell you something that you already know, that you need to loose weight. As far as insurance approval, it really depends on your insurance company requirements. Mine, for instance, requires that you have at least two medically supervised weight-loss programs in the last five years. This could also include some of the weight-loss places such as Nutri-system, etc. If your doctor had in his records last July that you talked with him about dieting and he told you to follow a diet program on your own, that should count, too. If all else fails, you could join one of those " programs " or have you doctor weigh you once a week if it is convenient so that you will have some records showing your effort to diet. I wish you luck on your approval. Stormy > Hi all, > > I have never really been under a doctor's care to lose weight. Everything I have done I have done on my own. I have had doctors tell me I needed to lose weight, but no one ever offered to help, until very recently. In July my new doctor said he would leave me on my own to try my diet and exercise program because my blood pressure is borderline high. I have not lost one iota of weight, and I go to see him next month. > > I was wondering if it will really hurt my chances of being approved for this surgery if I never had a doctor help me lose the weight.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 I have been researching this surgery for about 6 months. Yesterday I e-mailed my info to the good Dr. R. How long will it be before I hear something? After reading everyones posts, I can hardly wait. Now the question: What is the difference between and Durham? I keep seeing references to this. I am 36 and my weight is 249#. Does this mean I could get sameday or something? Please fill me it. Also, I have all ready started typing my patient letter. It is almost 10 pages long all ready. I keep seeing postings that say their letters were not accepted. Can anyone give me any input? You guys are great! I have realy enjoy reading everyones posts!! Waiting for the Dance!!

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hi : The difference between and Durham, is is an offsite ambulatory surgical center. They can handle limited overnight patients, but have a very limited staff. is offered only for self-pay patients, who meet certain criteria. I'm not sure of the criteria. Their upfront cost is about $4,000.00 less than DRH. Durham is Durham Regional Hospital, which is about a block from . That is where all the other surgeries occur. If you have insurance coverage, your surgery will be at Durham, from what I can understand. Both places have great care. I couldn't have been more pleased or more cared for at , so that's my reference point. Regarding the patient letter...The way they want it is to take each heading from the patient manual in the letter section, and have a thorough discussion of each heading, to amount to at least one page for each heading. If the discussion doesn't cover all the material for the heading, Dr. R. will reject the letter. The reason for this is he wants to be absolutely positively sure that you (each of us) understand exactly what we are getting into, and by showing a discussion on the good, the bad and the ugle, he feels fairly sure we have a least a fair working knowledge of the information. This is very serious surgery. and I for one, appreciate the education requirement. I've never seen a surgeon or any physician for that matter, cover patient education as thoroughly.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Dear Eddie, I couldn't agree with you more about the patient letter, except I am having a very hard time writing one! I looked over the sample letter and just changed a few words and personalized it to me... will that work. If I just write, I constantly get off the subject and babble.. HelP!!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 Denial is gone . It happens to most of us. We didn't think we were " that bad " for so long and once we actually see that the only solution we can truly get for the long haul is surgery...well we feel very very fat. And we are very very fat. The key is that we're clever as hell because we are solving our problem and not just whining about it....pat yourself on the back. You're clever as hell too. You landed here with us fat folks and we'll carry you right along with us!

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 I'm agreeing with Flo, my sister said the other day, (and she's my biggerst supporter) that I had to reach rock-bottom to accept wls as an alternative for loosing.. And she is so right. Now, tho, that I'm on the bottom I really hate being fat! That should really keep me motivated for the days ahead, especially post op when I'm feeling blue..

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2000 Report Share Posted October 6, 2000 , don't worry I felt the same way. I suddenly realized that all the pain I pushed to the side from being overweight was having to be dealt with. I was totally not used to writing my inner feelings down or talking about them. It was so much easier to ignore them. Just remember - It will all be over soon!!! Stay positive and focused. Your " thin " person on the inside will be out soon.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Hi , I have been taking the metho now for about 10 months. I don't get the heat and pain in my joints. That I had before I started on the metho. I do get fatigue, upset stomach and loose stools just about every single week though. I assume this is from the metho. Take care. Hope things settle down for you.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2002 Report Share Posted May 13, 2002 Hi :-) I remember Dr. Franco ( www.thearthritiscenter.com ) mentioning that methotrexate has some level of antibiotic-like properties...it kills micro-organisms. That is why he postulates that the methotrexate works for some with rheumatic diseases...because he is one of the doctors who believe that rheumatic diseases are due to a hidden infection. Many people who start the antibiotic treatment also initially experience an amplification of their symptoms and it is explained as a Herxheimer reaction. A Herxheimer reaction is because the micro- organisms release a toxin as they are killed by the antibiotic (or in this case, the methotrexate, possibly?) So......it wouldn't surprise me if that is the connection. ....just my guess :-) Take care, Connie H > Hello! > I think I asked this before, but are any of you who are taking > methotrexateexperiencing any amplification of symptoms for the first > day to day and a half after the treatment?

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 Susiecue, I have been experiencing the some of the same symptoms that you have. I have never been the type to lay around but I am too sick to do anything else. I cry a lot from all the pain. I still have that infection but I do believe I am in a flare, big time. My whole body hurts, my head hurts and I am so nauseous, too. I am to see the surgeon tomorrow and Rheumy on Aug 1. I asked them if I could please come in earlier than the 1st of Aug. since I don't want to wait and I don't want to see a doctor or be around a hospital on my birthday. (yeah sure)! Does your whole body hurt you? Whatever this is it sure is terrible. Please let me know what the doctors tell you. I hope you feel better real soon. My thoughts and Prayers are with you.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2003 Report Share Posted December 5, 2003 Hi Val, My daughter is 12 1/2 months old. She is breast fed 4-5 times a day, 3 meals a day (including jars of baby food and finger foods at each meal) plus she gets an 8oz bottle of formula right before bed. She is in the 50% for weight and 90% for height. I think they will stop when they have had enough...at least both my kids do. One thing that has helped us at this stage is teaching our kids to use sign language to tell us when they are finished or want more etc... Like today at lunch, I went to feed my daughter and she pushed my hand away and shook her head " no " . I said, " are you all done? " and she shook her head " no " again and signed " more " and " eat " ...she wanted more of her finger foods not the baby food. It reduces a lot of the guessing and frustration! Our dietician told us that kids with CF require about 20% more calories than a child w/o CF. Hope this info helps... Good luck! Mom to Ellie, 12mo wCF and Jack, 3yo noCF question hi everybody!! I didn't check my e-mail yesterday....when I went to bed I felt like something was missing...It is funny how this board bacome part of our lifes so fast...i love to ready all the posts and everybody in this list...everybody is so positive, sweet and funny....I laugh a lot w/ the " bulls...f..k.... " post.....I don't like curse words but it was funny how the internet is trick... anyway...I have a question...it is one of the most silly ones for sure...I have no idea how to feed a baby...I think I am doing ok to first time mum, without my mom close to help...but I fell like something is wrong...first I guess I need to put more liquid in his diet...he is really constipated (sp?)... and if I don't stop feeding him he will eat until explode, at least I guess...like tonight, he ate 1 jar of veggies, than 1/3 of veggies dices + 1/2 jar yogurt + 1/2 jar apple dices, 1 cracker + 1 oz gatorade + peices ok my linguine w/ tomato sauce...I decide to take him out of the high chair ( or he would be too heavy for me to lift)and he start crying...I don't know if I am feeding him too much...too little....anyone w/ a 11 months old that could help me?? ah, he is breast feed 3 times a day + 2 meal + bf/meal in a total of 6 meals a day. he is between the 40% of H and W. love val ------------------------------------------- The opinions and information exchanged on this list should IN NO WAY be construed as medical advice.

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 Hi, Jack is 11mths and today he ate a can of pear and banana with rice cereal and milk, a toast finger and a bottle of milk for bkfst, a container of yoghurt, a bottle and a biscuit for lunch, bottle this afternoon, a bowl of chicken and sweet corn with butter and salt, half a can of custard and another bottle for dinner and sucked on some chips with salt at dinner with us. He is on about the 25th%ile for weight and height. I'd just let them eat as much as they want. I wouldn't worry about them gaining weight I'm sure they'll lose any extra when they run around in a few months time. Jack took his first steps today!

Guest guest Posted December 6, 2003 Report Share Posted December 6, 2003 WOW My daughter is 7 and she still doesn't eat that much! Count your blessings. I would let him eat until he stops. Does he eat like that at every meal? How much does he weigh? Lynette Carwana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
