And how are you doing? Give me an update please?

It is a private site so go and send a private message to Shelly Barnes asking her to join the group. You won't regret it.

Ladies there is a great Facebook page that I gave joined that I really enjoy that is only women that have had WLS. Everyone is so helpfull and delightful. They leave all kinds of helpful tips and inspiration. The site is "new me"

Congratulations!

Ok without being thought of as stupid please, can you please tell me what NUT is?

Yes I just sent you a private message

I'm going to Merrillville as well!

Sounds great!!! Thank you!!

What do u snack on when u get the munchies?

I've started the liver reduction diet. Its not too hard so far, but I'm only on day 2 lol. The hardest part for me is having to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day and I m so busy I hate keeping a food journal.

Thanks!

You are not going to believe this....got a call today from the bariatric center and I've been approved and I thought that I was going to be private pay. I have a high deductible but heck I'll take it. My first meeting it 4/2, will be starting 6 months of weight management. I was stunned, excited and a little scared at the same time.

I'm sure we had mutual friends, I visited VU a lot while I attended ISU. I had a lot of fun there too! I dated a boy from there for a long time.

Hello MrsGina from Valpo were you private pay?

Not trying to spark any debate but it just angers me greatly that it has now been approved for Medicaid patients.

My insurance won't cover any weight loss surgery AND my bmi is 35 so I'm really close to that too. Do u know how much ur dr costs if u were private pay? This dr came from iu bariatrics

Well that is wonderful news congratulations!! I went to my first meeting last night to find out that private pay will be $28,000.00 it's made me a little discouraged. I was hoping for less than $15,000.00. I've seen on this site some people say they have had this surgery for $9000.00. So on to plan B, I'm now calling dr.'s in other areas and states.

1989-1993 and loved every minute of it! Did u go to ISU?

Small world again I attended college at ISU and I still have some good friends that live there

I know Covington
