Topic: Card Shower Needed
Most of you know or have heard of Kirk Thompson whom is part of ObesityHelp Staff. He's help thousands of members each day on the site and to help them find surgeons in their area. He's got a heart of gold.
For those that aren't familiar with him, please visit his profile to learn more about him.
http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=T983696607
He recently on the 19th reached 4 years post op but on top of that - and has been such a inspiration to so many of us losing over 450 pounds. But beyond that I wanted to let you know that Kirk has taken ill and could use our prayers and support. He has something called flesh eating bacteria (Necrotizing Fasciitis), This diagnosis is very rare and can be very serious. He also is suffering from a staff infection and Cellulitis. He is in quarantine and is pretty much isolated at this time. He is currently being picked up 3 times a day and transported for treatments.
The good news is this: The doctors think they have isolated and stopped the flesh eating bacteria! They remain concerned and are monitoring Kirk closely. Kirk is doing all he can to not go back into the hospital....he really should be there, but he is so tired of hospitals that he just couldn't take it anymore.
Please all, he needs our support. This is a very hard time for him right now. Kirk is a truly wonderful person and is always thinking of and doing for others. He is able to receive mail and other items. He said there are no restrictions...he just cant be around people. Even though he is very ill and on all kinds of medicines right now, he still is very concerned about ObesityHelp and how every thing is going. He sends his love to all.
Please if you can find time to send him a card or a little care package, or even just a letter letting him know you are thinking of him. Really anything to help him through these dark hard times. I can only imagine that being isolated in quarantine is absolutely so hard on him.

Topic: "THE HEALTH PLAN" does it cover the surgery ????
Does anyone have " The Health Plan" medical insurance?? Do you know how they are as far as covering the surgery??? Any info you have would be greatly appreciated...... Thanks !!!!
Topic: Why do you eat?
Do we all have emotional eating problems?
This is something I would have to say has been one of my biggest denials
since surgery. I refused to believe that I had any emotional attachment to food, but I found that I do. In fact...I LOVE food. I ate it when I was both happy and sad. Some of the most difficult situations will put you in that position again even after surgery that food is your comfort. This is called snacking. It's a very bad habit that can be picked up after surgery and lead to weight gain. So you might ask what can be done?
Well......
I would like to introduce Dr. Roger Gould. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Gould in New Jersey at the East Coast National event. He is a man who has for years worked with individuals to identify what is their emotional attachment to food. Dr. Gould hosted a class during the event and so many members walked away with so much insight. The great news is that Obesityhelp has been working with Dr. Gould to develop an "Emotional Eating" forum to talk directly with him about your personal issues and then work through them. This will be coming to you all within the next few weeks so be checking back often for links to the new area.
Dr. Gould will be checking the main message board post often to start answering some of your questions.
If you have a question for Dr. Gould and would like to join the discussion please click on this link.
