Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 HELLO EVERYONE! THIS IS MY FIRST TIME SENDING A MESSAGE SO I HOPE IT WORKS OUT. I HAVE BEEN READING OVER ALL THE MESSAGES AND EVERYTHING SOUNDS SO GOOD. I HAVE BEEN CONSIDERING THE MGB FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS NOW. I REALIZE THE DRAW BACKS (LIKE FLO SAID) BUT BEING OVERWEIGHT ALL MY LIFE I AM READY TO BE THIN!!!! I AM 5'1 " AND WEIGH 240 LBS. I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO LOSE WEIGHT, ACTUALLY I HAVE LOST 60 LBS. THREE TIMES ONLY TO GAIN IT BACK AND THEN SOME. I AM AT MY ALL TIME HIGH NOW. I STARTED TO DIET AGAIN TWO WEEKS AGO AND WALK AROUND THE LAKE. I GOT PAINFUL CRAMPS IN MY CALF SO SEVERE THAT I COULDN'T'T WALK HALF WAY. WELL I HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED WITH IMMINENT CAULDIFICATION (SOMETHING LIKE THAT)OR CLOGGED ARTERIES. I AM ONLY 30 YEARS OLD, THEY (THE VASCULAR SURGEON) COULDN'T'T BELIEVE IT. MY ANKLE IS ALWAYS SWOLLEN AND PAINFUL. I HAVE TRIED EVERY PRESCRIPTION DRUG MY PCP COULD PRESCRIBE AND STILL CAN'T DO IT. MY INSURANCE COMPANY, SAYS THEY WILL NOT COVER IT. I AM IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING JOBS TO A GOVERNMENT POSITION WHERE I CAN PICK FROM SEVERAL DIFFERENT PLANS THEY HAVE. CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHICH IS BETTER, OR WHICH ONES WILL COVER THE SURGERY? I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT. EVERYONE, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. IT IS VERY ENCOURAGING.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2000 Report Share Posted November 3, 2000 Hi : Welcome. You might want to take your caps lock off...full caps is considered shouting on the web. LOL (laughing out loud). I have federal blue cross and blue shield, standard option and they paid. My daughter did also. We just got the open season stuff and because they've been so good...I'm sticking with them again this year. Hope this helps.
