This place is slow!
I think the Kansas Board is quieter because most people here have insurance that doesn't cover the surgery. And why talk about it soo much when it's not an option for you yet. But I am on here to encourage people to fight their insurance companies and encourage their employers to adopt health plans with better obesity management services. I try to do what I can, when I can, hopefully one day it'll change sometimes mind. at least that's why I think it happens to be quiet.
This board is dead but it is not likely due to no insurance coverage. I think a lot of people just get support in other areas, from family and friends who are not online, online friends or other forums. I have tried to stir things up and I did see several responses but I did not follow up everyday with my attempt. Good luck to all who try! Kat
