Profile

I have updated my profile and added some more information. If you still have questions, I will try to answer them. And, Nil, no one did tell me to leave the group--you are right. It is just that I could tell from the posts that the group had found a place where they could be honest and a group where everyone seemed to have bonded. I did not want to feel I had added confusion to the mix and I would rather leave than do that. ALSO, I still have that damn frozen cookie dough in the house. If anyone knows a doctor that accepts Medicare, please let me know. Jaycee

Jaycee, What happened with your primary doctor that was going to take care of everything for you? Why is he not helping you out now? With Medicare or Medicaid, I have heard over & over again how easy is it to get the surgery. Dr.DeWitt in B'ham DOES accept those. I also have been told that Dr.Williams in Montgomery does also. With having BC/BS as secondary that should help too. We are here for support for anyone. Get in on a chat with us and we will help you out all we can. Chatting with peers HELPS! It is sometimes your only strength. Have you had a physc evaluation for THIS surgery yet? If you are cleared, even being treated, they will do the surgery. Clearance is all you need, not being released, if it is not severe. The Dr.'s that you mentioned are one & the same; Dr.Jorge DeLaTorre. Talk to someone that is informed, before you give up on your quest for WLS. There is help out there. Lindy P.S. THROW OUT THE COOKIE DOUGH- it tasted BAD!
