Topic: Operation Katrina
Hello All
We've all been watching and praying for the people along the Gulf coast, now ObesityHelp is swinging into action to see how we can help people who have been affected by the devastation. As all of you know very well, PostOps have special nutrition needs and require follow up by a knowledgeable surgeon. We are putting together a team of people to coordinate getting special supplies, the kind of thing you wouldn't expect from the Red Cross or Salvation Army, to bariatric patients who need the assistance. We've been on the phone with OH Volunteers in the area and we're working to identify who there can help us. We know you've all been coordinating through the message boards, even when you have to relay by phone to post something, so we would like to offer help.
We are already contacting surgeons and vendors we are affiliated with to get them to help. We need to know who needs help, where they are, and what help they need. To that end, please post to the board, or have someone post for you:
Who you are
Where you are presently located
How we can contact you
What sort of assistance you need
If you want to send us some personal information, please send it to [email protected] and we'll do our best to help.
Until we can figure out the answers to these questions as well as a whole bunch more (where can supplies be delivered, where will surgeons be who can help, where can you go for additional assistance, and more) we can do very little. We also need your help in locating people who may not be able to get online or on a phone, people who may be having trouble and can't communicate to call for assistance. Starting from those of you networking with us, we hope to help identify others who may need help as well.
In this time of great disaster, we all want to help. If you're not in the affected area, but can help in other ways, please drop a note to [email protected] to let us know who you are, how to contact you, and what help you can offer.
Our best wishes go out to all of you affected by this great tragedy.

Hi Laura
You're right - there is not a lot of activity on the MT boards, but it goes along with not alot of people here having had surgery.
I was self pay - went to Mexico. My BMI was 39.9 (or around there) - but if it's your money you don't have to 
the insurance company.
I'm not familiar with the towns that you mentioned - I know that surgery is done at St. Patricks in Missoula - my local PCP has suggested that I go their support group - but it's just too far - 1 1/2 hours each way for me. Good luck in checking out your options. More info on my trip to Mexico is on my profile - or if you have any questions you can e-mail me.
Oh yeah - I've only been here since last November - grew up in So. Ca.

Topic: HELLOOOOOO MONTANA PEEPS!
Hi, I'm a Californian (for now) and my husband and I are discussing moving to MT...either Clyde Park, Livingston, or Willsall....(my family is already up there). I am a pre-op and have begun the LONG waiting process for surgery with my insurance company here in CA. If we move I will have to start over...and am ready to get this done NOW...I was wondering if any of you have paid CASH for this surgery, and if so did you have to wait any length of time, go through classes, etc. Most importantly, the COST? Any info would be greatly appreciated!
