Topic: Need Representative to Fight WLS Denial
Hi guys,
I can't remember where I read this but hoping you can help out.
There is a lady (not sure from where) who fights with insurance companies for those who have been denied WLS and charges $300 ONLY if she wins.
I am aware of Walter Lindstrom, Jr. and already have his info but I'd like to give someone I just recently met both names, etc.
If you have her contact info please send it to me ASAP.
Thanks!

Hey Jessica! I'm Heather, nice to meetcha!
I live in Patchogue. I have a membership to Planet Fitness in Bayshore, but I can go to any of them. I've been struggling to get back into a routine, so...I'd love a buddy...find me on facebook--Heather Marlowe or you can txt or call my cell 631-987-2153 :)
A little about me..I had gastric bypass a bit over 2 years ago. I actually am a support group leader through OH and run my own support group, if you're interested. But, if you'd just like a workout buddy, thats fine too!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Topic: another jim fargiano quote....I <3 this guy!
Blow away the demons of destructive attitudes. In your thoughts you create the path of certainty, both good & bad. Listen to your heart’s desire & reach the goals you seek by extending yourself towards the direction of highest intent. It will melt away the guilt & pave the road to rich rewards. You do deserve to be happy, so program your ideas to blend all of your best intentions to receive it.-

Topic: RE: Open RnY
Are you a Dr. Cooperstone patient?
Some Dr.'s only do open procedures as either they haven't gone for the laproscopic training or feel that it should be done openly.
Many of my friends from my bariatric support group, LIPO (Long Island Post Ops) have had it done open and are doing great.
Some support groups, like mine, do offer clothing exchanges. Addtionally, thrift stores are a good suggestion. The one near my Dr.'s office right next door to Mather Hospital, has an exchange, bring something, take something.
I hope this helps you!
Good luck on your journey!
