Topic: RE: WLS Support group in Desoto County?
Hi Diane,
I had surgery 10/5 and I'm finally feeling almost human again. Struggling with what to eat a little. I would love to talk to you and Kathy and whoever else is out there about all of this to come. Just feeling a bit overwhelmed right now.

Topic: Groups & Activity
The last several months have been fairly busy ones here at OH and we are really excited
about this upcoming release. First, long overdue is the public release of OH Groups. You
will now be able to start and manage your own public groups. Second, is a major update
to Health Tracker....Activity! We are planning to release these new features on Wednesday evening, October 7, 2009.
OH Groups
Getting to OH Groups is easy. Just click on the Groups tab at the top of any page on ObesityHelp. OH Groups allows you to start and manage your own groups, you can find groups that suit your interests and find support groups in your area. |
If you are looking for an OH Group that focuses on a specific topic, you can browse groups by category. |
Activity
|
To get to your Activity Tracker, click “My OH" at the top of any page on ObesityHelp, select “Health Tracker" on the left and then click the “Activity" tab. |
Understanding your total daily caloric expenditure requires more than just knowing how many calories you burned on the treadmill. In your Health Tracker settings area you are now able to estimate the caloric expenditure of your resting metabolic rate (RMR) and lifestyle. These estimates are integrated and displayed with the caloric expenditure of the activities you have logged. |
Your exercise log allows you to search for and add strength training exercises, cardiovascular exercises and general activities to your daily log. Caloric expenditure is auto calculated for a number of activities already included in our database of exercises. Pie charts display details about caloric expenditure and time for each type of activity. |
Sets can be added and subtracted from strength training exercises. Reps and weight used can be entered for each set. |
A number of details can be tracked for cardiovascular exercises and general activities. Some of these variables include, time, distance, calories burned, average heart rate, average power, altitude gained and average grade. |
If you can’t find the exercise or activity you have participated in, you can also add your own custom exercises. |
| Other updates include the ability to create list of your favorite exercises, reports have been updated to include a number of activity items, the nutrition search has been enhanced and we have managed to slip in a sweet macronutrient report under the “Reports" tab. If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the features in this release, please submit those here. If your are new to ObesityHelp or have not used ObesityHelp's Health Tracker before, you can learn about the first release here and the second release here. Need help using Health Tracker? Click here for help. Enjoy! |

I was thinking possibly the Baptist Hospital in Southaven or the library in Hernando. I will check with both this week to see what works best. If anyone else can think of a place closer more in the middle of Desoto county, let me know and I will check that out also. I thought we could possibly find someone qualified to help us with nutrition help. I will check on that as well.

Hi Kathy,My name is Diane had my surgery on Sept 18 so far doing good..I had the RNY bypass..I live in Olive Branch...I have been to a couple of the support group meetings at the hospital trouble for me is one of my other organizations meet the same night so I will bounce between the two I guess. If I can encourage you anyway I will be happy too I know how you feel I wanted to climb off the gurney as they were rolling into surgery but it has been fine...let me hear from you

Hi Kathy,
I also live in Hernando. By the way, I don't know where or if my name shows up but I'm also a Kathy. My name is Laura Kathleen Beach. I'm so excited. It'd be great to do this. You know there have to be others out there in our area. I'm in. Just remember, I'm a little out of pocket next week. But as soon as I can get out and about.....I'll be ready. I don't really even know what happens in a support group. Do you? We can just figure it out as we go along. Let me know what you find out about a meeting place. Maybe the library in Hernando? I know they do some stuff. A friend from church has a group there once a month.

I live in Hernando. There is another gal in this area that just had RNY about two weeks ago and one in Olive Branch. Maybe we could start our own group. If anyone else is interested, please respond and I will see if I can get us a meeting place. Let's do this!

Hi all, Just discovered the MS state forum. Was wondering if anyone knew of a support group in Desoto County. My surgery date is Oct. 5th. I'm getting a little nervous. Ok, a lot nervous.
Topic: RE: MS Passes Law Mandating Obesity Health Benefits for State Employees
It's my understanding that this means state and school employees who are on the State health insurance plan (BCBS State/AHS). I don't think it covers all group or individual insurance plans in the State.

DOES THIS MEAN ALL THE INSURANCE THROUGH JOBS OR INDIVIDUAL PLANS HAVE TO COVER WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY?
