Hey Jen, WELCOME!!!  To the OH site. I had surgery with Dr. McBride this past September.  She is great!  Her bariatric nurse is extremely helpful and available by email to answer any questions that may come up. There are a few other posters that have had surgery with Dr. McBride, so feel free to pose any questions. Let us know when you have your surgery date so we can send prayers your way. Blessings.......

Sadly to say sometimes there isnt a nice way....you might have to interupt and say, would you like to share your journey at the next meeting??? or we can visit more after the meeting as I know some of you need to get home...we like to keep our meeting a hour long but we are always there for at least 1 1/2 hours. we just introduce ourselves with name, surgery date, where we are in our journey and if they want how much they have lost... you will be a great leader! MERRY CHRISTMAS, BETH

Thanks, I have a lot more confidence since I finish my training & was able to get on t/leader board. They have all those handout  info's & meeting suggestions. What in your option is t/best way to handle people that kind of take over a meeting with how it's been since they were born. I know you can't tell them the "On & On A Non" is down the hall..so how do you guys get someone to let everybody have a say. I want to be nice but some people only want to talk about themselves. Give me some nice ways to handle that,if you will please. Jill

Yes, I can remember. I got my lap-band in June. I was awaiting approval by mail. The funny story is when my husband brought in the mail he handed me the letter & waited for my reaction. After I started to read ..I began to cry..he said.."I'm sorry. They turned you down ?" I said no..still balling my eyes out. He said," Then why are you crying?" Hey, I said you wouldn't understand unless you'd been there.

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

I'm sure you're already aware of Dr.Holloway & Dr. Forney in Scottsbluff,NE. But also now in the eastern part of the state is Dr.Ranjan Sudan(Omaha,NE.). Both I hear are excellent. And both except Medicare/Medicad. I am Medicare & used Dr.Holloway. They were very speedy in getting me approved,(really went the extra mile) and are very caring Dr.'s ,nurse's & staff.
