Topic: need information please
I have gone through all the steps to have wls, but was turned down by my insurance.  (blue cross, blue shield of north dakota).  this took place in april.  at that point i became discouraged and put it aside.  i am ready to proceed again and wondering if anyone can give me any info on how to go forward.  i really do not have a pcp, but have seen heidi olson fitzgerald, so did schedule an appt with her on june 12th.  i am just under the 40 bmi mark and have been between 35 and 40 for the past three years.  and even though i have high cholesterol, i have chosen not to go on medication yet.  (trying to bring it down with diet, exercise etc)  but since that is not working, i am going to ask heidi for medication for high cholesterol.  will that help?  anything else you can think of would be greatly appreicated.  thank you for listening.  dyanna

Everything went well in Mexico :}  I found out that I'm allergic to morphine, but no lasting side effects.  It suppressed my breathing.  Without an oxygen tube up my nose, I couldn't get my oxgen levels above low to mid 80's when I wasn't even talking or moving.  But, as soon as they took me off of it, I was fine.  They gave me some other pain med that was more expensive, but oh well . . .

I was told that my job was being eliminated upon my first day back to work after surgery.  I have decided to move back to Milwaukee where I have lots of family & friends.  I'll be moving sometime in June so I'm not so sure if I'll ever get together with anyone here in ND.

The meeting is at Innovis on 32nd Ave S. It is located in the lower level in room 253-254....Take the stairs or elevator to lower level. If you take the elevators then the room is in the hallway directly across the atrium from the elevators. The room will be the first left through the double doors. See you tonight.

I found a spot for her at drop off daycare! Now I can come childless!

Is it at the Innovis on S. University--and downstairs? Or is it on 32nd ave s? I can't find anywhere where it says which Innovis it is at!?!

Thanks for your help--hopefully I'll see you tonight!

Hi Steph--

Thanks for your response! I'm hoping to come and meet some people! I just feel bad.....I know it's not really a place for babies! 

Hope to see you in a few days!

The meeting at Innovis is the third Monday of every month in the lower level of Innovis. I wouldn't think bringing the baby would be an issue. Look forward to seeing you on Monday evening.

Welcome.  I haven't posted for awhile.   I am at goal and loving it.  Fun to buy all new summer clothes.

I hope your surgery goes well and next summer you will be buying new summer clothes.

Hi All!

I am looking to attend a support group meeting, and I think there is one at Innovis on Monday, but I have a question.

Would it be bad for me to bring the baby? My husband works evenings and I don't have anyone to watch her. She is still pretty little, so I don't think she would be a bother at all.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated!

Thanks!
