Rockwood Barriatric Clinic (Rockwood Medical Center) Spokane WA takes Medicare and Medicaid but you have to pay a NUT 495.00 might be out of pocket for some
Topic: Clothing Exchange, South Puget Sound Area
Howdy folks!
My support group is having a "field trip" to Value Village in Tukwila on Thursday, May 17th - but, would anyone be interested in a clothing exchange sometime this month?
I will wait to hear if there is any interest before picking a date /location -- but it's been awhile since there has been a good clothing swap!

Topic: RE: Support group on Eastside?
Just to reiterate what healthy laurie said, the wieght loss support group at Overlake Hospital is the best! You do not have to have had your surgery there or to have had surgery at all. It is facilitated by a very skilled social worker and nutritionist. There are anywhere from 20 to 30 folks at the meetings and everyone is real, funny and welcoming. The nest meeting is tomorrow at the Paccar Conference Center at Overlake from 6 to 8 pm. I always look forward to going and will be there tomorrw night.

KS123:
Well also a lot of the hospitals have FMLA. I work for Harborview Medical Center which is ran by UWMC. But like the above comment you have to work for the company for either a number of months or have worked for them for a certain number of hours. Also for example at my work you can't even use vacation time for the first 6 months after you start. (I do payroll and HR for two of the hospital's units)
I've been with HMC for almost 1 year and 8 months. The process has already taken me 8 months to get to the point of scheduling my surgery. I had to start off by doing a nutrition program for 6 months and lose 5% of my weight - this cost 1450 for nutrition program out of pocket as insurance does not cover it.
You also have to have one of the following:
Diabetes
Hypertension
High Cholesterol (hyperlipdemia or dyslipdemia)
Sleep Apnea
Pickwickian Syndrome
Pseudotumor Cerebri
So, it's not really as easy as finding a new job and automatically having the surgery with FMLA.
