Topic: RE: TOPS
Are you by chance insured with a UMR policy that is not going to cover WLS as of Jan. 1, 2011? If so you are out of luck cause you do have to have both and they did not give you enough time to do it before your coverage is dropped. Which really sticks!!! Why I ask is that we have had several that have had found themself in that situation.
Otherwise it sounds like you are going to have to do both which is simply making an appointment with your general doctor to be weighed and discuss dieting each month for six months. Make sure you do not miss a month cause you will have to start all over again if you do. Just some of the hoops insurance makes you jump through to hopefully discourage you from making them pay for your surgery. GGGRRRRR
And attending Weigh****chers or TOPS or Jenny Craig or whichever. Make sure you keep a paper trail of that too. Cause it will need to be included in your letter to the insurance company too.
It is worth all this hassel if you still have WLS coverage after the first of the year.
Wishing you patience and luck of course,
Connie

It counts as far as weight history and if your insurance states proof of weight loss attempts. But if it states "medically supervised diet" I don't think it does cause copies of that has to be sent in your letter of medically necessity letter to the insurance company on a doctor's letterhead/chart documents or script pad. You can call your insurance customer service number and they would be able to tell you. Or call the insurance person at your surgeon's office and they should know.
Good luck,
Connie

Topic: Daily Bible Reading - Sunday - Sept. 5th

Ecclesiastes starts off this morning with some good wisdom tips.  I guess you could call this book a wisdom book, its full of wisdom idea’s and tips for sure.  Seems this year God has really wanted to instill in us about His wisdom hasn’t He?  Then the teacher ends the book with a word of wisdom, “Fear God and obey His commands, this is everyone’s duty.  God will judge us for everything we do, even the secret things whether good or bad."  That’s some good advice.  Even what we do in secret really isn’t secret because God sees everything.  Good stuff! 

Today’s Reading

Ecclesiastes 10:1-12:14
2 Corinthians 8:1-15
Psalm 49:1-20
Proverbs 22:20-21

Daily Devotional

"…His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness"
(James 3:10, NLT)

Is there something that you've done in your past that you're not particularly happy about? A choice that you regret? The good news today is that you can be free of guilt and condemnation. You don't have to live with that burden any longer.

Today's verse tells us that God's mercies are new every morning. He's not ever going to run out of compassion. He's not ever going to run out of forgiveness. He's not ever going to say, "Well, this is the last time I'm going to give you mercy." No, you can have a new beginning every single day!

Let that truth sink down deep into your heart right now. If there is anything from the past that you may still be carrying, take a moment and call on His faithfulness. Call on His mercy. Ask for His forgiveness. Let Him refresh and restore your soul right now. Praise Him and thank Him for the work He is doing in your life and enjoy a fresh new beginning today!

A PRAYER FOR TODAY

Heavenly Father, today I choose to let go of every single weight from the past. I call on Your mercy; I call on Your grace. Thank You for hearing me and delivering me. I receive Your love and forgiveness today. In Jesus' Name. Amen.




I Corinthians 15:57 - But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hey Jan and All,
       Today was my youngest grandson Masons 1st b-day. We had his party at my house. They all came up for the weekend. Had lots of fun. Cant believe hes a year already!!!
       I'm doin ok, pains gone except for pain at the incision sites.Trying not to do to much with everyone here.Hard to do sometimes.LOL
       My revision surgery has been scheduled for Sept. 17th. I have to be there at 6:30a. I go down there on the 14th and have my check up on this surgery and see the dieticion and the aniestisha clinic.Dr H says it should go real smooth from what he saw when he was in there the other day. Not as worried about it as I was.
       Well take care all and God Bless, Tammy

My journey to live life to the fullest!!!
