Topic: RE: Back in FL, need some support-please?? help?
Dana, welcome back to Florida!  I live in Ocala, my surgeon is Dr. Jawad.  He has a great support group on the Third Thursday of the month, but I know this is too far for you to travel, but he also has an office in Orlando, I don't know where, but you can check his website
www.jawadmd.com, look under support and it will tell you when and where the support group in Orland is.

If I can be of further help just ask.

Topic: Back in FL, need some support-please?? help?
I moved out of FL up to PA for a while, got some support up there, but now I'm back in FL and need some help..I had surgery one year ago, and my old habits are creeping back slowly but surely..I had my surgery in Mexico, obvsiously can't get any help there, so I'm counting on my OHers to give me a little help?
I'm also wondering if there is any support groups anywhere close to Daytona Beach? I live in Deltona,  close to Sanford, Daytona, about an hour from Orlando, but really looking for some good support, not a place that will beat me down for my mistakes.

Any help??


THX..

Topic: RE: Getting Frustrated
I just received a call from my insurance company and the nurse told me that they have been waiting for Dr. Jawad's office to return their call, because they sent my paper work in with two different medical codes.  One for the RNY and one for the Sleeve.  Dr. Jawad and I have never even discussed the sleeve, he is the one that told me the best procedure would be the RNY.  I assured the nurse that I was going with the RNY, so she accepted my response and now is able to proceed with my file.  She did tell me that she would have a decision for me today and it looks as though it will be approved.  She told me she wil call me first before the doctors office.
I may be seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

I will keep everyone posted.

Topic: Medicaid
Hello, does anyone know how long it takes for medicaid to approve surgery here in Fl?? We just got medicaid and my husband is beginning the process for surgery. I had my sleeve in Dec. 08 and have no regrets at all. I was approved within a week because I had a different insurance then. any input is appreciated. Thanks!
