Our event hotel is in a primo location, so plan to go with us for a night of exploring Bourbon Street after our welcome coffee!

Be sure to watch for the fashion show coordinator to post so you can come up on stage and strut your stuff!

This is our first time in New Orleans, so please help us get the word out and get the members and the surgeons involved!

Looking forward to this!

Topic: RE: BCBS state group

I am with BCBS for state employees also. I received my call today & was told about the exclusion. I don't know how anyone would be covered. My understanding is there are no exceptions with this exclusion. I am considering self pay. Good luck to you.

Congrats on your up coming surgery! I needed chap stick in the hospital slippers, and a robe.. At home I had a difficult time laying down so extra pillows or a comfy chair helps. In fact I'm sleeping in my easy chair at night (just feels weird to lay). I also got a toddler fork spoon set and a mini blender for the puree stage. Good Blessings!!

lucky you ! my dr sent them all of my records, and i can't take weight loss meds, because of my blood pressure. shelia is wanting strictly WEIGHT LOSS dr apts ! i'm at a loss for words. he's even written letters to them saying i've been his patient since 06 and he's councled me for weight loss since then ! i'm trying to call vanessa, and see what she says. i'm feeling so hopeless right now, i don't want to wait another 6 months :(
