Hello Charlotte, I live in Palmer and heard on a message board that H2Oasis has a riverwalk program thats being done by some patients. I am going to start this after my surgery next week.

Thank You so much for that Information. Kerry

Julie, my PCP had kinda hesitated to referr me at the time as I just went thru some other problems... I was so depressed, and was going thru psycho therapy at the same time I asked my PCP for the referral. So I waited for about 4 months and my PCP, recommended me to see about going thru WLS. So I looked up Dr. Todd. Back in 2000 I was going to go to Dr. Fobi down in California... He had a payment plan. But that feel thru and I went on with my life until the bottom feel thru .... I was jobless and going into depression and I was gasing up my pickup there in Anchorage one Spring afternoon in 2002 and this blonde hair gal came up from behind me at the gas station checkout line and tossed a note to me and said that Medicaid would pay for WLS... I called the # on the note and talked with the gal... and checked into geting on disability and got on the first time... and then the rest is History. Here I am on the Melting Side and Love it! Take care and Good Luck ! Tom

Todd's office told me I needed my pcp to write a referral to his office. I guess all I meant was they weren't trying to push Todd's wife - they left it up to me to find a doc in Anchorage since I don't live there. I asked them for a referral to a general practioner and that's when they gave me her name.

Hi Tom, thanks for the info. I have to go out of the country for WLS because I don't have any health insurance and can't afford the cost to have it here in the US. Why did your PCP have a problem referring you to Dr. Todd? Just curious. Thanks again, Julie
