Hi Everyone! The Beckley WLS Support Group meeting will be held on Monday, September 19, from 7:00-9:00pm at Raleigh General Hospital on Harper Road, Beckley. Our meeting location is in the Education Center (annex building on the Kroger side of RGH). Entrance is at the top of the wheelchair ramp. Guests are welcome and everyone is encouraged to attend! (We were moved at the very last minute last month by RGH. I don't anticipate it happening again, but if it does, a sign will be posted on the door with directions to the meeting room.) Things have been a little quiet online, so if you haven't posted a message yet, now's the time! A Yahoo Group just for the Beckley WLS Support Group is online! Now you can talk to a fellow support group member anytime! Let's get our online group going by posting a message today! http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/beckleywlssg/ (If you don't already have a Yahoo ID, getting one is easy and FREE!) CLOTHING EXCHANGE: We will now have a clothing exchange at each meeting! You are welcome to bring any clothes that no longer fit you and take home some that do. As you lose out of them, bring them back and exchange them for others! You do not have to bring clothing to take clothing, and bringing clothing is not required. Restaurant cards for Dr. Shin and Dr. Stickler's patients will be available for anyone who needs one. If you need one for a different surgeon and will be attending the meeting, please email me! There will be a door-prize drawing for anyone attending who has had weight-loss surgery. Don't forget to bring a recipe (or two...or three) for our online group cookbook (or you can email them to us), a "before" picture (if you have one), or even bring some "before" clothes! You can view our monthly calendar on the Yahoo Group at http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/beckleywlssg/cal, or by visiting our support group website at http://www.geocities.com/beckleywlssg/ The 2005 meeting dates are also listed below. Please note that there is one Tuesday date. Looking forward to seeing you Monday!

Sincerely,

JR :thumbsup:

Did you print off the hand book on the Medabolix website? That gives you the process guide. After you complete all your consultations and exams, Dr. Stickler's office will submit it to insurance and then call you when they get an answer. At that time they will schedule your surgery. Good Luck! Janet
