Topic: Maybe there is no hope left
I don't even know if anyone comes to this forum anymore. I started my profile back in 2008. So as everyone can see this has been an ongoing issue for me. I am fusterated I feel like there is no hope left. I don't want to feel this way. I just want to be happy. Don't I deserve to feel that way? Maybe I need a friend or some kind of support system. I don't have any of the above. I feel all alone, on a journey with no end in sight.
Topic: RE: New Mexico Surgeons?
I went to Phoenix/St. Luke's and had Dr. Juarez do my surgery.
There weren't any Gastric docs here in NM and my daughter lived in Mesa at the time so I stayed with her for two weeks for my post op. That worked out wonderful for me.
There used to be a website about pets/hotels, but I don't remember the name of the site.
Good luck and God Bless you.

Topic: Is Medicaid Still not paying?
I have been waiting two years now for medicaid to start paying again for bariatric surgery, or any of it!! Is it still a no go? My back problems are getting worse and I am just so fusterated by now.
Topic: RE: BC/BS NM ...no more medically supervised WLS diets Feb 1st
Yep this was true for me. I live in New Mexico but have bcbs of TX and as of feb 1,2012 I was told they do not require the 6 months. I got to submit a month earlier because of this change. :)
Topic: Excellent Plastic Surgeon
Dr Sauceda from Monterrey Mexico will be doing PS consults on June 1st and 2nd in Las Vegas.
Dr S is my plastic surgeon and he has done wonders with my body! After losing the weight I have, I knew I'd need everything done! He has an all inclusive price if your surgery costs $7K or more. His care is excellent - so if you're close to needing your plastic surgery and you know you will be self-pay, as I was, please contact me and we can set you up for an in person consult!

Topic: RE: Revision 4/10 Questions!!!!!!
Sorry I don't know of any hotels that except pets. There is a support group meeting tonight at 6pm for WLS (at the Solo club). You might come and ask them? They all used Dr. Lara or Acosta for the most part. I found this on google...maybe that will help? http://hotels.petswelcome.com/chains/

Topic: Revision 4/10 Questions!!!!!!
Hey there! Our board is not very active but I'm hoping there's a lot of people lurking because I need some help!
I am revising from a band to a sleeve and some planning assistance for my time in El Paso.
Anyone know of a good hotel that has at least:
micro
fridge
high speed internet
*accepts dogs (2--black lab and a boxer)
and secondly, I desperately need a doggy daycare in El Paso!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks all!

Topic: DS with Dr. Syn
I was wondering if anyone here has had it with Dr. Syn. I know it's something new he had done for the past six to seven months. I'd like to hear from anyone who has.
Topic: RE: In the words of Barbara Walters.....
If I was a tree...I would be an Aspen blowing in the cool mountain air However.I would rather be beach grass as I love the ocean
If I were a shoe I would have to be comfy...no heels for me Burks fit my personality
If I were anyone in the world ....it would be me, always learning. I would always be 2nd if I wanted to be some one else. I am the best ME!!!
Katherine, I am new to this sight. I am 60 yrs old and really want to lose the weight.for health reasons. Asthma!!! I am scared to death. This may sound rather strange but the #1 thing that is brothers me is What about all of the skin after the GB. I am different. I love to swim so much that I really don't care what people think of me in a swim suit. I have 15 suits and not one with a skirt...like at my size a skirt is going to help me look better so I just get the nicest suit and I must say a bit sexy with all of its flair and hit the pool.
I have seen pictures of all the hanging skin and it freaks me out! when I hear that insurance will not cover surgery! OMG Man I really think I am jumping the gun eh? I don't think losing the weight will be a concern with the help of a GB as I love all the right food but I need help to keep eating the right food . I am so mixed up. I don't have the attitude of eating anything I want. I think I have a healthy attitude. I m just spinning my head is spinning ( song??) I wnat this but I want to laugh while I am doing this I want it to be a joyful experience. Your post seemed happy, and positive. Thanks for listening to this crazed woman. Dorian
