JOAN IS HOME AFTER ONE DAY!

Marla: Are you going to the Wish Center? Pam

pam, yes im going to the wish center, they will fiance me, and im so very excited, just to think of 25 years of misery battling this terrible weight might actually someday be over. marla

Marla: I actually went to their seminar first, but my primary care provider wanted to support me, but he wanted me closer to home (I live in Vancouver). The problem was I was getting tired of doing all of the appointments myself, etc. so I thought, fine, I'll go to the Wish Center anyway. Get this. They wouldn't take my insurance (ODS which doesn't pay; Tri-Care which does) because they don't have a contract with Tri-Care. In case you don't know, Tri-Care is for folks in the military, retired military and may also be government workers, too. I'm not sure about that one. I thought that was pretty odd, they'll let you pay but they won't "take" Tri-Care. Anyway, that's okay, I just kept jumping through the hoops and now next week I have a meeting for the psychiatric evaluation and then I can get an appt. with the surgeon (either Dr. Hong or Dr. Patterson). Anyway, Marla, good luck to you! Pam

Not only are you home after one night - you are already typing on the computer! So glad to hear all went so well. Do take it easy and keep those sips of fluid going. Patty
