Hey Lori, http://tampatrib.com/baylifenews/MGARGI4NXSD.html Dawn

It made me want to have surgery really bad. I was actully going to write a letter to the editor about how all the hospitals in tampa are offering gastric bypass to the community but, there insurance will not pay for it's own employees or their families to have the surgery done. My wife works for the baycare system, that encompasses hospitals like St. Josephs, Morton plant mease and South Florida baptist hospital (which is were my wife is currently employeed.) I would have not problems qualifing for the surgery, but do not have the means to pay for it out of my own pocket. This is what you call irony. lol
