Attention all: Jane Magazine's "rant" of the week is: Should insurance pay for stomach stapling surgery? You can go to Janemag.com and click on rant. It allows you to email the editor with your response. My response was educate yourself before asking such questions - This is not a gut instict thing but a serious health issue resolution. Log on and let the magazine know they are being irresponsible

Hi Adrienne! I'm Linda Jones from Pearland, Texas (near Houston). I was just browsing around in other states and wondered how the Alaska Message Board is. I found your recipe, and I'm going to make it this weekend. I haven't had enough pie over the holidays.. Hugs from Linda

Well, Dr. Hess from Boston Medical Center said that I was a good canidate for the sergury. He seems great. I should be hearing back with dates for my tests. I may not have to have a couple of the tests because I have had them in the past month. Maybe this will speed up the process. I am very excited and nervous. I would say that I am more excited. Dr. Hess said that he would like to do the sergury lap. rather than large incision which I am happy with bacause I had my gallbladder out Lap. and the pain was tolerable. Well, happy holidays everyone. I think that this was the best Christmas present to myself.

I agree with you Adrienne, the media needs to back off a bit and spend a month in "our shoes". And who ever came up with the saying "it isn't over til the Fat lady sings?"
