Hi, My name is I am in the situation as you. I will be

changing my insurance in November, and will be able to have surgery

in January. My stats are similiar to yours. I am 5'1 331 lbs. My

BMI is 59 I am 44 years old. I am trying to decide when a good time

to send the packet in is. Do we have to wait until we are under our

new insurance plans to do so? Just wondering when are you sending

your in. I have mine done except for my family letters. They

support me but, trying to get my husband to write something is like

pulling teeth. He told me to write for him. Maybe we will be

January littermates. in Denver, NORTH CAROLINA

Hi Phyllis,

I work in Mt. Holly at Clariant (used to be Hoechst Celanese and

Sandoz)on 27 and 273.

You have to get the packet together yourself for the Dr. The only

thing Dr. R sends you is after you fill out the on-line he e-mails

you back your letter for the insurance company. I have been

researching this since February so he snailed mailed mine, but I

understand he emails them now. I can't make the picnic, I wish I

could, it would be a great way to finish up getting my contacts.

Hi ,

I dont know the answer to your question. I just got approval from my

primary to have the surgery so I am in the beginning process.

I think it would be a good idea to write up your husband's letter

and

then have him sign it. Then you can have a lit of expectations that

your husband agreed to support you in your post-op recovery.

Blessings,
