Topic: RE: Hi I'm new here.
Hi Ben it's me again. I wanted to invite you to take a look at the Men's board on OH. If you haven't checked it out, please come in the "locker room" as it is called and check it out. I wanted to tell you about our insurance guru on the Men's board. Here is a link to his profile, http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/339427/, you can come and post your question or send him a private message. I am sure he would be glad to give you some suggestions. There have been many people that have had to appeal the insurance's denial, and get approved after an appeal. Sometimes it is just about giving them what they want. Don't give up.

Welcome Ben, no tips but just wanted to welcome you to the WV board. You'll find that this board is not as active as some of the others, but how is that going to change if we don't jump in and post, so jump in and lets see what happens.

Topic: RE: Hey Braxton, Nicholas, Webster, Clay and surrounding counties!!
I've been putting up fliers at local businesses and doctor's offices..... Some of them are in very heavy traffic areas, but the tear away info at the bottom isn't disappearing (my phone and email info). SO, not sure that they are even getting noticed there.
I have contacted all local papers (in like 4 counties) and gotten contact emails for each of them so that I can send them a bit of info. Most will print something for free. I just have to write it up and get it submitted! LOL As I can do it by email, it won't be too bad. I just haven't done it yet. That is on my To Do list for this week!
I'm also going to reach out to other docs in the surrounding counties.... So far I've only gotten signs up in Braxton county....

Lea,
Have you thought about advertising in the local papers or would that be too expensive?
What about fliers in local business?
