Topic: RE: No Support groups ND?
I have gone to the one at Meritcare in Fargo. I think it is pretty good, and I have found many people willing to share their stories (I have not had surgery yet - July).
There is also a lady that goes there that wanted more "personal" support, so she started a GCC (gastric cooking club). I am on the e-mail list, but in order to go you must be post op. Basically, it is like a potluck of high protein low carb menu items, then you bring the recipe to share. As I said, I haven't been there yet, and it did just start up, but that one is meeting once a month also.
Topic: RE: BCBS pers state of ND
I have BCBS NDPERS - I did have initial problems, as they denied my claim due to my BMI not being 40. I resubmitted (with uncontrolled sleep apnea), and they approved within two weeks.

Carmen,
I am willing to drive to Valley City. I go in on the 15th, maybe we could do something this Saturday. Pre-op jitters and all, might be good to get together.

Hi Loretta, I am from Valley City...and also would like to finda support group close. I don't know of any right now. I am going to have surgery May 16...so hope to find something soon. If there is none in Jamestown or Valley City yet, maybe we need to get one started . I have been going to the one in the Merit Care Hospital in Fargo, and I think it is fine, but it isn't really one where people are talking with one another about their experiences, and suggestions for each other. I would like to have a group that would be on a more personal level. Have you had surgery already? You can email me if you would like to at [email protected]. Hope to hear from you.
