Sandy, I am in the process of my 6 mo diet/visits. If you are using KY Medicaid for insurance, I was told by Ellen at Dr Husteds office that it would take 7 months of actual visits. Crazy I know.. so really its a 7 mo diet/visit period rather than 6.

I am in London ... where is Guthrie? Is that near Williamsburg? Just curious... it would be nice to meet someone local that is having WLS.

Hi Shea.  I'm in Williamsburg.  There is a support group meeting today (Saturday) for WLS patients and those thinking of surgery in Corbin at their public library at 1 p.m.  We'd love to have you there.  This group is just starting... I know it is short notice.. but if you get it and can come.. anyone is welcome.

Hi! Deb is it? Its comforting to know there are some members on the boards here that live close to me. I wish I could attend the meeting today - however the fellas and I are going fishing. Is this meeting going to be every week or every month? I would like to attend! Can you give me more info on it? THANKS

My 6 months was 6 consecutive dr. appts - not 7, but I have Humana insurance for retired KY teachers.  I hope yours is like mine for your sake!  Good luck!
