Topic: Idaho's Men?
Hey there guys!
Sorry that this is sort of a "Broadcast Message"
For all of the Men out on the Obesity Help Boards
But I just wanted to drop by an Invitation.
It's great to see other men out here.
We make up such a small percentage (12%)
Of the people having Weight Loss Surgery,
But tend to reach our goal weights quicker and with less
Or at least Different hassles than the Gals
Due to Male physiology.
Drop by the Men's Message Board
And check out what other men like you are going through.
It's a diverse make up of Dads, Singles, Older, younger, etc...
Pre-Ops, Post-Ops new and some Old (at Goal) Post-Ops.
Lap-Banders, RNY'ers DS, etc...
Great bunch of guys with the mutual understanding
That WLS for Men can be a totally different Journey.
Stop by to add your questions, advice, opinions, and info at-
http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/men/
It's Great to know we're not so alone,
And that there are others pulling for you.
Hope to see you 'Round the Boards!
Best Wishes-

Topic: RE: Dr Oakleys meeting tonight??
Hi Jan,
I haven't talked to you in a while and I was wondering how you are doing? Did the surgery and your recovery go okay? How is the losing going? Do you regret anything? I sent in my application for insurance but I am not sure when or if I can do it, my portion is over $300.00 for me and my 2 kids, I am not sure I can afford this. Plus it comes with a $2000.00 deductible. I am waiting a while and see if my new employer might remove that exclusion on covering WLS, if not, I will have to save my money and purchase the insurance. Thanks for all your information. I hope I can have surgery to in the next year.
