New to Forum - HELLO!

Hello everyone!  

I am Kim (a/k/a Kid Krazed Kim) and I live in Pleasant Hill, which is a suburb of Des Moines.  I have been married for almost 21 years and have 5 children.  I work full-time and my life is filled with Khaos, KonfliKt, and Konfusion, which is why I am Krazed!  

I joined the OH website in June when I began researching WLS.  I have since consulted with Dr. Eibes and jumped thru the hoops to get the intial pre-surgical approval packet submitted to my insurance company.  Unfortunately, I was DENIED on the first try and have to complete a 6-month doctor supervised diet before my insurance will consider it again.  So, I have been doing that - going to the monthly doctor appointments at least - for about 2 1/2 months and will finish around the first of April.  My hope is to have WLS - either lap band or RnY, but leaning more toward RnY - in the last spring / early summer.

I normally post some type of blog once a week.  Sometimes I just post quotes, song lyrics, or other types of writings.  Sometimes I post my poetry, or my rants.  Ya just never know what I'll post!  LOL!

So, if you are out and about, and nosy like me, come on by Kid Krazed Kim's Korner , take a peek at my Kronikles, and drop me a line or two!  

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Hi there Kim - Welcome- I am totally new to this as well.  I have been working with Dr. La Masters and there office has yet to submit for approval to my insurance as it changes at the 1st of the year.  I am interested in Lap-Band, what about you?  what insurance do you have?

Hi Kim!  I have been on OH for a little over a year now.  I kinda dropped off the face of the earth the last few months because of school, but I'm back now.  Yay!  I was denied the first time I applied for approval.  I just kept at it and did the 6 month supervised diet again and I got approved this time.  So just keep at it.  You'll get there.  I'm seeing Dr. LaMasters.  She's in the same office as Dr. Eibes.  I like them both.  They seem like really good people.

HAPPY NEW YEARS!
