I have heard of it, but when I was going through the process it was not one of the options at Meritcare.  I am not sure who in ND even does it.

Topic: RE: question
Thanks for responding.
This is not a real active forum.
Dr. Garcia is my Doc. too.
I think he is very nice.
I wrote to him about my leg surgery and now being diagnosed with fibromyalgia.
He actually called and left me a message on my answering machine.
I didnt expect that.
I will be in fargo feb 3rd  that morning I have my phyc. exam at 9 then see the Doc at 10.
I see Dr Garcia at 1
Sorry I will miss you.
May I ask what kind of surgery did u have to have that u had to be off work another three weeks?

Hey Queenie!
Dr G will ask you what your job is and what you do. As a rule he will say to take off at least 4 weeks. If you happen to be ready to return before that he may let you go back earlier. I was off originally 4 weeks, then went back into the hospital a couple days before my return date and had surgery. I was off another 3 weeks I think. So if nothing goes wrong plan on 4 weeks
Keep us posted!

Topic: question
well im hoping the second time is a charm. I went through every thing in 2007, with the exception of a date,  but then my insurance denied me.
Feb 3rd I am going to the physc. appt. , bariatric Dr. and dietian all in one day.
Then the dr is submitting to  insurance co. again  
So I am trying not to get my hopes up too high this time since I was so devistated the last time.
WIsh me luck 
As my dr assistant said I should have a surgery date in march.
so  my question is I am going for lap Rny, how long to take off of work?
Thanks for every thing

Topic: RE: Anybody in ND a DSer or planning on it?

Yes, there's still a fair # of insurers who won't pay for it, including mine, BCBSND.  They would cover me for the RNY & everybody in my family things I'm positively nuts to pass up that opportunity in favor for paying for the DS myself, but that's what I'm going to do.  You know the really sucky part is that BCBS of MN pays for the DS & I work in Karlstad & Thief River Falls - it's just that my company's headquarters is in Fargo, hence the ND insurance. 


I'm probably going to get surgery in the middle of March, I'm really looking forward to it.

Topic: RE: 15 months later and my first "stuck" episode
I had this happen about 4 weeks after surgery and omg it hurt and I didnt know what was going on. But after about a day or so I could eat again. I have had it happen since then but its taught me what to eat and what not to ear. It sucks but you have to learn some how i guess.

Topic: RE: Here I am!
Way to go!!
I think I am carrying those 4 pounds you lost! plus 1 more.
No not from eating but from...
wearing 2 pairs of pants
2 pairs of socks
2 shirts
Yes, I am for real!!
I am so tired of being cold,this is what I have resorted to. LOL
I weighted myself before getting dressed and then after. It was 5 pounds heavier once dressed- can you believe wearing 5 pounds of clothing? Going to the rest room has proven a bit of a task. Getting all the pants pulled back up and into the right spot LOL
Enjoy the day!
