Thanks for the suggestions

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only TRUE FRIENDS will leave footprints in your heart...And may that friendship have such a ONENESS that when one weeps the other will taste salt...Friends are like balloons ; once you let them go you can't get them back....So I'm going to tie you to my heart so I never lose you.

Topic: Interesting... Middletown Journal

To me this is an interesting read and TO ME really sounds like a free ad for the band doc. PLEASE RESEARCH ALL WLS to find the right WLS for YOU and then RESEARCH all the docs on your insurance to find the right one for you.

From what I have researched and called over 25 PS docs in the Dayton area NONE of them will take any insurance for TT no matter what. My hubby's insurance will pay if med ness. but none of the docs will ACCEPT that for payment.
Your best bet is to call your insurance and find out WHAT DOCS are in your network and then CALL the docs and see what they say. Maybe there are some newer ones that will take insurance as payment.
Good Luck,
Robin

Topic: RE: Toledo??
Hi Tammy. I'm here in Toledo too. I had my WLS on 8/17/09 at the Barix Clinic in Michigan. I've lost 60lbs so far. Still a ways to go, but so much better than before.

Topic: Need info on surgeons in the Dayton, Ohio area
I keep getting major time yeast infections under my tummy that spreads down in my crotchie area...My doctor keeps giving me pills to take, medicated powder and I barely get rid of it and its back...He told me that he would support me in finding a surgeon and getting this tummy work done...I am on molina insurance...Does anyone know of any surgeons in the Dayton and surrounding areas that take this insurance? I realize that they would have to submit a form to get prior authorization and that most times its turned down...but, its worth a try...So, if anyone knows of a surgeon that takes this insurance, please let me know...Thanks

Start to surgery was February - July but I was pushing.  It would have probably been August if I hadn't pushed so much.

Topic: Hello everybody! Newbie in Cleveland
Hello! My name is Anita, I'm married, with two daughters, a 14 y/o grandson, and a new grandson due the end of this month. (YAY!) My health insurance provider is Kaiser Permanante, as my husband works for the City of Cleveland, and was wondering if anyone on this forum has the same? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
