Guest guest Posted September 6, 2000 Report Share Posted September 6, 2000 Hi Tangia, I live in Miami and I am also wrapping up my package to hopefully send to the Doc by Tuesday, next week. I am also interested in a support group in Fla. I haven't got any feedback from other Fla residents yet, but what do you think? Congratulations on your approval!!. Ruqayya--Rikaya31@...

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Hi Ruqayya, I am also from FL. I think a support group in FL would be great. I live up in Sebastian / Vero Beach area. I am turning in my insurance letter today. Hopefully I will get approved. I am staying positive because they have already approved me for the open RNY. Maybe if I get approved fast and can get my package in to Dr. R we will have the same date. Who knows? Congratulation on getting everything done and let me know what happens with a FL support group. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2000 Report Share Posted September 7, 2000 Hi Terri, I think that would be great if we had the same time. Thanks for your congratulations--I don't have everything done yet, however I claim that you spoke it into existence for me. From your keyboard to God's ears!!! I look forward to getting that Florida support group going. There are some wonderful people down here with us. Take care, Ruqayya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 Hi, I am also from FL. I have just started my journey into DR. R's world. I am a self pay so as soon as I get everything else done I can send my package in. I would be interested in a support group also. I live near Gainesville...... but my Mom lives in south FL near Palm Beach. Please let me know if you decide to put together a group.

I am in the process of getting patient contacts for the second time and I am having to wait for inofrmation or only to find out that this e-mail address is not being used anymore. Very frustrating when you just keep getting larger and sicker! Oh well....................such is life! If I could have some help with getting some info from people I would very much appreciate it. I would love to have the surgery soon but if this is not going well it will be into the next year before anything will happen.

Guest guest Posted November 6, 2000 Report Share Posted November 6, 2000 Tarri.......I am from Tulsa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 , No way !! My parents are from Broken Arrow and my brother lives in Tulsa. I went to nursing school (100 years ago) when Claremore was still State college. I know that Memory had her surgery the same week I did and she is from Broken Arrow as well. There was also another patient in the pre-op clinic from Broken Arrow but I can't remember when her surgery was. I have a few posts on WLS support meetings at Southcrest Hospital. They meet monthly but it is not just MGB - every imaginable surgery is represented in that group (from what I hear - I have not attended a meeting yet.) I was in Tulsa last weekend visiting my parents and will fly out of there this weekend to speak at a conference in New Orleans. If you want me to call while I'm in the area just give me your number. It's also OK to call me at work if you want to. .

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2000 Report Share Posted November 8, 2000 Tarri.... Unbelievable! Yes, the young lady that you referred to in your e-mail is a friend of mine. Our sons play on the same football team and man are they something else. Studs to be more exact. Ha ha!!!!!!!! It is truely a small world. Memory is the one that has talked me through this process while we were on the football fields for hours watching our sons play. She is a love and I appreciate her continued support! I am glad to hear back from you. Thanks again for the good word. Always, in Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
