Topic: RE: latin food recipes needed
Hi,
Did you find any latin american recipes that you can share?
I usually just eat the inside of whatever is wrapped at the taqueria.
Thanks,

Topic: Surgery in PR with Medicare???
Hi!
I have been in the plans of getting surgery for more than 4 years. Finally I went to Dra. Santos in Cayey and they told me that soon they were going to start making the surgery in PR with Medicare. After a few months I called again and they told me that they are not yet making the surgery because the doctor is not affiliated to Medicare.
I would like to know if someone knows about surgeries in PR made with Medicare as primary insurance. I also have Triple S as secunday insurance.
The thing is that I live in Egypt and I came to PR to make the surgery, stay for the recuperation and return to Egypt where is my husband. We estimated a year for all this. It's been 1 1/2 years and I even don't have a concrete answer about Medicare and the surgery here in PR. I have been thinking may be need to move to USA and find a dr there, but I'm afraid my economical status won't permit it.
I need help, advice and/or info!

Let me tell you something of course you find Puerto Ricans everywhere. Ja jajaja!
I was born in NY but moved down to Maryland in 1998 then to the Eastern panhandle of WV not far from Maryland just last year.
Congratulations on your wonderful weightloss in 3 weeks. That is Fantastic!
As for me I am a mother of 6 children. 3 adults and three small ones. I have 4 grand children which I am blessed with.
I had my RNY in 3-06-07 and I have lost since pre-op a total of 111 pounds. You can chek out my profile and read my blog since the beginning. A lot happened and God has blessed me with my last child. I became pregnant 3 months after having surgery which is not adviced. But it happened, eveyrthing went fine and I have a wonderful 21 month old baby girl. You can see pics on my profile.
I want to wish you all the best in your journey and if there is anything I can help you with please do not hesitate to contact me. I frequent the Marland forum often so you can find me there too.
Take care,
Cira
