Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Help! I got my insurance letter from Dr. R today..yipee! But I was just reading it and it said in a few places that my weight loss on such and such diet was 3665lbs and in other places it said 3416lbs. I KNOW I am Fat but really!! Any body else had the problem? Should I just email Dr. R for another letter or change it myself..or what? cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 12, 2000 Report Share Posted October 12, 2000 Hi Guys: This is my monthly contacts lecture. PLEASE, if you need contacts, contact people individually. This can be by using the addresses on the clos.net site or by sending a private email to someone on the list who posts things you enjoy reading or identify with. I am always happy to be a contact. But if you just put out a general broadcast, I often assume someone else took care of that. And I assume that you probably aren't interested in me..or you'd have asked me. So..if you need contacts, just email some people personally and ask them questions, or just ask them to send you their " blurb " if they have one already prepared to send out. Contacts are supposed to help you learn. It's more than just a requirement of Dr. R's..it's a learning tool..one that you will look back on later fondly. I can still tell you who my ten contacts were and I enjoy seeing them post. I'll get down off my soap box now thanks. And include my email in case anyone needs a contact and they'd like me to be one. florence@... Flo in land Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 18, 2000 Report Share Posted October 18, 2000 Trude, If you knew how much I love you. But, add to that the cost of my office chair, which is urine-soaked from the laughter you give me, Well, no one could add that value up, not even Bill Gates.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2000 Report Share Posted October 30, 2000 Hi Debby! Guess What? I am in Tucson too. Crazy huh? I am going to be self pay because I have not been able to get insurance due to my weight. I haven't had insurance since I was taken off my parents' policy 13 years ago. So good luck with the ins. I hope to hear back from you, being as we are local. I live in Avra Valley and have lived here 2+ years. Good luck...Talk to you soon!

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2000 Report Share Posted November 5, 2000 Hi ! From what I can see, he's booking surgeries in the beginning of December right now. But that's just a ballpark guess. From my experience, once you get approved by Dr.R you get scheduled in the 2-3 week range. But that's just my opinion. You can e-mail staff at dw@... but in my experience they can't tell you anything until you've gotten your packet in and approved. This is because the timing is so fluid depending on how many people coming up to the plate (oooh, I meant baseball, but bad pun in any event ........ so that's pretty much the scoop. Best of luck. Love, Sperb >>> nw.homes@... 11/02/00 10:43AM >>> Hi everyone My name is Montgomery and I'm trying to get the contacts so I can finish up with my paper work. I have everything else done and I am very eager to get the surgery and get on with my life. As of now I am 340 pounds and 6' 2 " tall and I have diabetes. I need to get some questions answered like all of you had to I'm sure. One question that I was interested in was how long out is the doctor booked. Is this something that happens pretty quick once you have the paper work and the Insurance done? Any and all help would be very much appreciated. Thank you nw.homes@...
