Topic: Everyone is invited
Hi Everyone,
Everyone is invited to attend the next physical meeting of the Macon WLS group on Monday, March 10, 2008 at
Cornerstone Baptist Church from 7 pm until 8:30 PM. I have some samples to offer, some copies of the OH magazine to offer, and a good time to be had by all who attend. I will be doing a mini protein tasting again, and offering some tips on getting physical and getting in more exercise now that the weather is better and many folks are now feeling better.
I hope to see you all there. If you need directions, please either email me at [email protected] or call my cell
478-335-1096.
Take care

Topic: RE: Cigna, Macon
Most insurance companies now require that you have a letter from your pcp, have a pysch eval, and get a letter from a nutritionist.
At the time of my wls, I was seeing Dr Lesley Cown, and she was very pro active for me , in writing the letter I needed from a pcp. For a short while after wls, she was very good about working with the bariatric surgeon as far as my labs, and etc. We had a disagreement after a couple years, and I changed physicians.
I , at the time of my wls, did not have to have a psyc eval, but I know people here who did, and many of them used Amy Flowers, a local pyschologist. I believe, but not sure, that she even did pysch evals for Dr Williams and Dr Rothwell, when they were doing weight loss surgeries locally. The only nutritionist I know, and I am not sure of how she relates to weight loss surgical patients or prospects is Ella Engineer at the Medical Center.
I will be having another support meeting in March at Cornerstone Baptist Church on March 10, I think.. if I can help, don't hesitate to contact me personally. My personal email is [email protected]

Topic: Feb 11 Meeting canceled due to family need
Hello everyone,
I am sad to have to announce that the February meeting has been canceled. I really look forward to seeing everyone, and their progress over the past month, and now it is gonna be 2 months between our physical meeting. I hope that you are all doing well.
I do want you guys to know that I care about each one of you and am here to support, answer any questions or concerns that you may have. If I don't know the answer, I promise you I will find the answer to your question or concerns.
I had to cancel the meeting due to my being out of town the weekend before the meeting to help my daughter move from Florida to Georgia.. yeah! She will only be about 45 min north of Macon, and not almost 5 hours away .. more visits with her on my frequent visits to Atlanta. We will be going to Florida on Saturday, and will be returning home on Tuesday, Feb 12, or Wed, Feb 13, depending on how fast we unpack and get her new house set up .
Take care

Topic: Happy MLK Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did you do today? Did you drink your quota of water, get your quota of protein in, and stay on track? Did you get up and move today.. get moving, grooving, to stay in shape, both mentally and physically?
This is to encourage you guys, to stay on track, and to stay successful... drink water, get in your 90 gms or more of protein depending on your surgery, for me , personally , I am to aim for 150 gm protein via protein shakes, and boy,am I having a hard time. I am moving better, getting in some form of movement daily and planned 3 x a week.. mostly walking more than a mile during that time.
Take care.. I want to hear back from you..

I hope, in the near future, to set up a weekly chat time that we can all agree upon, as well as my physical support group meetings , currently held at my local church. I am open to suggestions, and your ideas to make this group what you want it to be.
