Topic: A SOULS MATE, A VENT PARTNER, A FRIEND- Good Morning
MMM, Coffee is just great. The day has already become busy. My though today as I read over the board was the vast amount of traffic we generate through our posts and PM's. It's not often but it's clear that the support we give each other is vital to our well being and success. From a smiling prospective, you guys rock and are the best. It had to find any negative when you got folks out their being so wonderful even being humorous with each other. Even more important is the relationships we form with complete strangers that seem to be our ideal soul mates, partners, and friends. I know they can not replace your true mates but at least their not under you and get in your way. However, their is room for them to help you and chat with you about every issue you desire. We all go through the fight and some easier than others but we have our moments. It just makes one smile to see the close interaction we share. It's an even bet some could be real close and become face to face friends as time passes. It already has happened. So in reflection this board is more than a meeting place or communication link, it's a vital part of our metal health and successful weight lose to a healthier life. I for one am very proud of my friends and the relationships we have, no their not perfect or even close but they are vital. As you work off today's stress ans sweat to get ahead, smile and remember we are ONE and we are united in our fight for a better life. I appreciate my coffee buddy and the wonderful folks that respond everyday. Have a great day and save a life.

Topic: Please help! Need facility in Colorado that accepts Medicare and does not require WLD
Hello,
I have read some threads on the Internet that say that Medicare does not require 6 months of a medically supervised diet prior to surgery. I have also directly asked Medicare, and they said that their is nothing regarding 6 months of WLD in their criteria. However, I called up to North Colorado Medical Center Bariatric Center where Dr. Johnell operates, and they insist that Medicare requires 6 months of WLD. They even sent me "proof" of it from something called Trailblazer.
I meet all the criteria otherwise, just on the 6 months WLD. I'm in Boulder and really need this done sooner than later. Can anyone suggest a Medicare approved Bariatric facility within driving distance that does not require the 6 months WLD?
Thank you!!!
Lisa

Not likely you'll be able to do your power shopping. Wasn't until about 3 months out that I really felt like myslef again. However, I am 51 and I would imagine age does play in as a factor. Guess you'll have to see how you are doing a few days out. Good luck.

Thanks. I'll remember that.
So far it's a go, but I have a back up plan just incase.

I am two weeks out and get around fine, Im still a little sore but i think my soreness is mainly due to some hernia repairs they did. One week out I went to visit some family, the worst part was the car ride there and back. Just be sure to keep yourself hydrated while shopping :)
