Topic: Insurance Gal at Dr.s office
Just talked with my Dr's office (Ins section) and I'm so close as to enough co-morbidities that they are going to submit my whole package instead of just preapproval, so in case they don't approve it I'm not paying for the surgery.  But you know since Tricare denied me I am really afraid Fed BCBC are going to do the same.  I have like 2 out of 3 co-mobidities.  Really worried.  The ins gal said I can call back next Thurs to see if there is any word on the package.  This has really put me down in the dumps.  Jaye Dene

Topic: OH Groups-"The Next Frontier Support Group"
OH has created a wonderful new forum for OH members.  On-line support groups!  We have just organized a support group for members who are 1+ years Post Op.  We find that our needs are very different than what is typically offered at our regular support group meetings, so we created a space for the population of members who have some experience under their belts, but face different problems than a newbie would.  You can check out our group at: http://www.obesityhelp.com/group/AKFlurry_group/tab,0/page,1 / Membership into this group must be approved by one of the site administrators.  Thanks OH for providing this fabulous venue.

Hello Angel.  We are glad you found us.  If you have questions on WLS please consider joining our WLS Support Group.  We meet on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at TVC on Noble Street, 3rd floor conference room at 6:00.  We have many people that join us, ranging from those looking into the surgery and just have questions, to newbies who are a week-two out, to people who had the surgery 7+ years ago.  Support groups are a great place to get answers to some of the questions you may have. :) Sherry  AKFlurry
