Looking for someone to be a pen pal too?

Hi ya'll. I am a 26 year old looking for someone to talk to and be there for me when ever I get scared or sad. This is my first time thinking about Gastric Bypass Surgery especially with Medicaid. I went through them before to have a breast reduction by I was denied. I have been overweight since 1999 and obese since 2002. If I sound like a good person to be a pen pal to let me know and we can get together and exchange e-mail addresses. Candice T.

Hi Candice! I'm looking for a pen pal also. My name is Moelita and I am already on the waiting list to have this surgery. I have been overweight since about 4th grade. Almost 20 years ago. I'm 27 now. I have Tricare and it is really surprising how fast we are moving along to get me my first pre-op visit. I don't normally check in here so my email is [email protected]. So just drop me a line and I'll hit back and give you some more info on me and you can count on me to be there. I log on every evening after dinner and the weekends I'm online just surfing. Talk to you then. Moelita

Hi Candice, My name is Angela. I understand the frustrations with Medicaid. I have Medicaid and I'm looking into having the surgery right now. I would love to be a pen pal and be there when you need to talk, or vent. I know how scary is it to think about having the surgery. I have an appointment with a surgeon the end of this month. I just have to see if Medicaid will cover it. Angela
