help!!!!
Hi, I’m a new member and would like to talk to
<br>anyone that has had the surgury done. I went to dr.
yesterday and now I am waiting on insurance approval. I
really don’t take this lightly and am not looking
forward to surgury. I have had 4 c-sections, so
understand the pain. I feel this is my last hope. I lost my
oldest child 6 yrs. ago in a car wreck and the last 6
years have been very<br>difficult, at times I’ve not
wanted to go on. I know if I want to be here for my
other 3 kids I need to have this done. Please help me
with any advice or information you can. thank
you,<br>spacedoutagain

Hi this is kittykat. If you would like to talk I
can be on line when you need me to. I would like very
much to talk to you. My boyfriend is on-line more than
me since I am still recooperating. He would come and
get me if necessary. My boyfriend is also a very good
listener and would also like to help. Please don’t give
up. YOUR other children need you. I just had the
surgery Feb. 15, and doing better every day. You can also
e-mail me. The address is on profile. I would really
like to know more. Please contact me.

I will be there for you whenever I can. I will
e-mail you on Monday when hopefully I can go down the
steps by my boyfriends mom’s house. Right now I am by
my boyfriends house(Bob). He doesn’t have as many
steps to get to the computer. I will talk to you soon.

let me know if you don’t receive it and I’ll re-send
it. Again, I want to wish you the very best of luck.
Keep us posted on your surgery decision.<br>God

Hi! Did you do a diet history listing the dates
you were on the diet, what diet you did, what you
lost and what you regained? My insurance company
required 2 years in a row. I luckily have a weight loss
buddy who remembered most of the stuff, and I
approximated what I couldn’t remember. Also, does your doctors
office have a prescription sheet for you, what drugs you
took, the refills, etc. It helped me jog my
memory.<br>Try to put that together with a letter saying that
you are afraid you will be dead in another year, and
(use this especially if you took redux or phenphen, or
metabolife, the stuff that had ppa the herbal stuff that can
cause stroke) that you refuse to take any more diet
drugs because of the danger of them. Fax it to them
(find out to who’s attention to fax it to so you are
dealing with 1 person) and get a persons name and number
to deal phone wise directly with them. Call again
and again and put some steam under them.<br>Good
luck, Keep your chin up!<br>Cathy
