Topic: I need Help
 I have been told that the hospital I wanted to have surgery at that my insurance will not pay the hospital and that there is no where in queens to have this operation which is the lapband

Now last year I was told because I had just medicare that they wouldn't pay I need another insurance so I add Touch stone....I called them and asked them if they would pay for the surgery and they stated that as long as the dr stated it was a life situation they would.

Now I am lost....Northshore hospital LIJ is where i thought I would have it
can anyone guide me in the direction I should go....

Topic: Happy Valentines Day Weekend!
Please have a fun and joyous Valentines weekend. Remember it's not about having a spouse it's about Love. So love up everybody you can, including your kids, pets, friends, and family.

Give yourself permission to enjoy a festive dinner or some melt in your mouth chocolates, and if you are going to eat chocolate you know dark chocolate is actually healthy, in moderation.

"And the greatest gift of all is love".
