Topic: Meeting tonight
Our Evansville, IN area group is meeting tonight at the Hacienda Restaurant near Washington Square Mall on Green River Road at 6:00pm.  Since Evansville is right on the river boardering KY, we sometimes get KY folks join us.  All are welcome. 

Please contact me if you are able to come so I can be sure to reserve enough space at the table(s).

Thanks Z!!

My husband has the crappy Anthem plan that is very expensve but doesn't pay for much.  We're paying the exact same amount that we paid in California for our health insurance (an HMO) that was WAY better and didn't have a deductable at all.

I would try the main board to get your answers as this site is not very busy.  Someone from that area may drop in and answer but you will probably get a quicker answer on the main board.  I had BC/BS Federal Anthem and they paid for my weightloss surgery.  Don't know about conversion.  However it will depend on the type of plan your company has.  Its best to call first because they may pay.  Make sure you ask your doctor for the specific questions to ask.  Best wishes on your exercis group and insurance answers.

Topic: Exercise group and Anthem question
Hello everyone. I’m pretty new to Louisville. I had an RnY 3 years ago in CA but after losing 40 pounds I messed up and have not lost anything since. I’m trying to start over and would like to know if anyone in Louisville knows of or would like to start a work out group. :O) Also, I’ve been seriously thinking about getting my RnY converted to a Duodenal Switch but I’m not sure if Antham would cover it since they don’t seem to be that good of a health insurance company. Has anyone had Antham pay for their weight loss surgery? Thanks!! Melissa

So far we have dodged the snow.  Can't really complain we have not had bad weather this year.  Many of us have already taken our vitamins and starting drinking our liquid intake for this day.  A planned meal is usually less caloric and more apt to be followed.  Making wise choices is not always what we think of first but it never hurts to try.  My menu is as follows:
Food Name Amount Unit Cals Fat (g) Carbs (g) Prot (g) Delete
Beef, sliced, prepackaged or deli, luncheon meat cup, pieces cubic inch slice (1 oz) (4" x 4" x 3/32" thick) slice thin slice grams kg lb oz 84 4.0 0.5 10.8
Turkey/SmokedTurkeyBreast/2slices serving grams kg lb oz 120 0.0 4.0 20.0
Chicken/wht&dk/halfcan/Savebrand serving grams kg lb oz 140 6.0 0.0 20.0
Relish/NoSugar/1Tbsp serving grams kg lb oz 0 0.0 1.0 0.0
Salad dressing, KRAFT MIRACLE WHIP LIGHT Dressing tbsp grams kg lb oz 37 3.0 2.3 0.1
Cheese/HotPepper serving grams kg lb oz 35 2.5 0.3 2.0
Cheese/SalsaCheddar/1slice serving grams kg lb oz 55 4.5 0.0 3.5
Milk/Almond/Van/unswt/40 serving grams kg lb oz 40 3.5 2.0 1.0
WheyProtein/Strawberry serving grams kg lb oz 140 2.0 4.0 26.0
Sunflower Kernels - Dry Roasted liter fl oz cup pint quart gallon tablespoon teaspoon 180 15.0 6.0 7.0

Dressing/BalsamicVinaigrette serving grams kg lb oz 100 9.0 5.0 0.0
Egg, whole, cooked, poached large grams kg lb oz 71 5.0 0.4 6.3
Hope all of you make today a wonderful and successful day.

 You would have better luck going to the VSG board and asking if anyone has Humana in KY, because this board is really slow and have few posters.  Good luck and hope you are able to get your surgery.
