Hello to Tina Hooker

Hi Tina, you found your thread.  Please reply with a few sentences about yourself. 

I am Kathy.  My RNY was 8 weeks ago today, feels like just yesterday, and still a lifetime ago.  Go for it Tina.

Alright buddies, lit's give her a great big WELCOME.

Hugs, Kathy

Hi Kathy and thank you for welcoming me.
Even though I am not new to this website, I am new to the posts and chats. I have been a memnber since last October but never really felt comfortable posting...dont know why.
Well, its been one year since I first started my journey on the way to RNY and I am still fighting it.
I had to hire an attorney and file a complaint to the Department of Insurance against my HMO and still waiting... Its been one year now and I am so frustrated that I finally decided to reach out to the wonderful people on this site for some support and wisdom.
I am glad I am here and cant wait to make some new friends..

Tina

Posting is kind of like learning to ride a bike.  You start out hesitant and a llittle wobbly, then balance comes and tadaaaaaaaaaaa you become friend with us and just like visiting face to face, share whatever is on your mind.  Steady pedaling and balance are the key.

Sorry to hear that your journey has not been smooth.  (((((Hugs Tina))))))).  Hoping for quick resolution with your HMO.  Do not lose faith.  Come here to vent, share and get to know the others.


Hugs, Kathy

tina, welcome to the wonderful world of posting.  hope u will get a lot of friendship and support from it. sounds like u have dug your heels in as far as your hmo is concerned. you go girl.  let me know it i can help in any way. vick

Welcome Tina! So glad to have you join our group. You'll meet some awesome ladies here! (So far we have had no men join in our group.)  I am glad you came to our group and decided to chat with us and share your journey and frustrations. I too am wishing for a speedy approval for you to take place. As much as we pay for our insurance coverages, they have a lot of nerve denying benefits that can be truly lifesaving and enhancing, and in the long run save them big bucks on future care! I am soooo glad you took a stand! You go girl!
Feel free to share your frustrations, experiences and anything you like here!
Again Welcome!
Hugs!!!
