Certainly your Bariatric MD has an insurance person in his/her office that knows all the ins/out of Medicaid and what they require. THAT person should be your new BFF.

It sounds like there has been some 'difference of opinion' in the group and he split. It happens. I see it all the time. Time to find a new doctor.

Topic: Help! Where is my doctor???

I was supposed to have an appointment with Dr. Chapman this month.  However, they called and said that I have to re-schedule with another Dr. because Dr. Chapman is out on leave indefinitely!  What is going on??? 

I have been a patient of Dr. Chapmans since 2009.  Does anyone know what is going on?

Topic: Looking for Dr. Joseph Moran of Raleigh, NC

Hi WLS Friends,

I had a successful surgery in 2007 but started gaining this past year.  Had a great Dr. that moved out of his office on Blue Ridge Rd in Raleigh a couple years ago.  Would love for him to advise me on a revision or another surgery.

Does anyone know where Dr. Joseph Moran of Raleigh, NC (not the one in Statesville, NC)...he also did surgeries in the Franklin County Hospital Louisburg, NC.

Thanks

Topic: RE: Where Y'all At?!?!

I can't make it to those meetings in morehead because I have no one to babysit my daughter atm :( I would like to go but this forum is good support :) I wish I had found OH before my surgery. I think surgeons should suggest their patients join here to be honest. Its been going pretty well for me. Especially since I found OH and got such helpful tips :) I struggled a bit the first few months, but my head is finally in a good place. Talking to people going through the same thing really helped with my depression.

Topic: RE: Where Y'all At?!?!

I discovered this site well before my surgery.  I was on youtube first checking out the VSG stuff and someone had mentioned OH.  So here I came, and here I stay.  It has been so useful before, during, and now.  I have been slack since getting back from a summer with my youngest daughter in California.  I so need to get my head back on straight and back on track.  Haven't lost any weight since I have been back but not gaining either, which is good.  Do you ever go to the Support meetings at the Civic Center in Morehead City?  They usually have a very small group but don't know of any other group other than that one.  There is an Overeaters Anomyous in Havelock that I have thought of attending.  I am without a car at this time though.  Son finally picked it up today and hopefully can fix it.  I am one of the "older" VSGers but it is never too late I don't think.  How well have you done?
