Hi Anita! Where did you have your surgery done? Or are you still waiting? A get together sometime might be fun! Beth RNY 9/12/05

i have a consult with Dr Acosta on Oct 20 i'm very excited!!!!

I am very serious about purseuing bariatric surgery for my severe obesity. The problem I have is that my insurance does not cover the proceedure... As of last January, they stoped coverage for the proceedure. What I want to know is if there are other options out there... places that will help me. I have been trying for a little over a year to get this in motion and at every new oppurtunity I find a brick wall. Is there Help out there????

When I had my gastric bypass surgery this summer, one of the nursing staff (who was so kind and helpful) and I discussed how we both work in health care, her being in nursing and me being in HR, we also talk about our family. During our daily discussions (I was in the hospital for 5 days) we began chatting about family we have lost to cancer, breast cancer inparticular. I lost an aunt, support another aunt and the nurse had lost 2 sisters and a mother to breast cancer. In honor of my family and on behalf of the nurse who is a godsend, I want to give something back the world (especially these hard times of natural disasters throughout the world), and I have decided to raise as much money as I can to support this deadly disease, that has affected this entire world. Today, there is more hope than ever for people touched by breast cancer. Early detection and new treatments have contributed to a steady decline in breast cancer mortality rates. However, there is still work to be done. That's why I'm walking in Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. I want to do all I can to support the American Cancer Society's lifesaving research, education, advocacy, and patient services programs so that, someday, breast cancer will no longer be a threat to the women I love. I therefore reach out to you ALL, my OH friends and family, and request your support and assistance with the fight against breast cancer.

Thank you, Mikey K
