Topic: Univera-anyone have????
Hi,
My ex husband is going for a consult with Dr. Caruana in Williamsville, NY. When I had my by-pass surgery with Dr. CAruana I had IHA and the process was pretty painless and I got approved quickly. My ex has Univera health insurance and I was just wondering if anyone out there has been approved through Univera and if so, how is the wait and process? is it a long process? I know at one point that Univera was strict with approvals but that was over 4 years ago! I appreciate anyone's input!
thanks.

Topic: Support Group
The Capital Region Weight Loss Support Group meets every Thursdsay evening, from 5:30 to 7:30 pm in the first floor conference room at Albany Medical Center South Clinical Campus, 25 Hackett Boulevard, Albany NY. It does not matter what hospital you are going through, nor does it matter if you are not planning on having surgery. We are there to support each other on our journeys to better health no matter how we choose to get there. Keep in mind that we are primarily a weight loss surgery support group. First meeting of the month is dedicated to the post-op (pre-ops are of course welcome too, we have a lot to share), all other meeting are anything goes.
If you need more information or directions feel free to ask.

Whenever you create a “charge forward" attitude,
especially in the face of delays or disappointments, you will
undoubtedly set the tone for success. The world will have
setbacks, but they are not meant as something to keep you
from moving ahead with your desires. See them as people or
things that cause you to find a better route to the rewards
that await. Let your blessings be felt!

Competition is good for the soul, and for you personally. It breeds a need to be more
successful in all areas. Basically, whether it is matters of the heart or more appropriately,
sports related, it encourages you to seek more from yourself. This is what life is all about-
-trying to elevate your abilities to match your untapped potential. It’s in you to be in a
winner; not a whiner!
