Hey fellow Florida WLSer's, been while since I posted on here.  Been a busy year for me, an abdominal reconstruction, divorce, moved from Boynton Beach to Fort Lauderdale Beach, yada yada yada.  Things are well and still on track and maintaining.  I'll be 5 years out on April 10, 2011.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Topic: RE: Appealing UHC EPO , Fla any suggestions? Newbie!
I went to Shands in Gainesville first and had a bad experience with their office staff.  Called Dr. Jawad's office and they got me in that day.  By that time Shands had realized they'd messed up and got my paperwork turned in.  It was approved in 2 days and switched over to Dr. Jawad the next day.  My surgery is scheduled for Dec 29th.  I have been working on it since July though.  Just don't give up.  Keep your head high and know that when it is meant to be, your date will come.  And by all means write a letter, I don't know if they sent it to my insurance company, but I turned one in.  It can't hurt, right?  Good luck and keep us posted.

Thank you for the replies and the welcome! I didn't take gas-x, and I'm feeling much better. I guess it had to go through course.

I have been struggling with a 30 pound regain from Thyroid cancer. I am pround to ssay that I am almost at 20 pounds off of the 30 pound regain!!!!! Thankyou Topomax for my migraine headaches!!!!!

My dilema this weekend is this. There is sweets and food all over the er where I work!!!!! Cake, Cookies, chips, dip, sushi, everything one could imagine!!!!!! Well,,,,,,,I,,,,,,just,,,,, walked past it and didnt even take a peek but the smell is killing me......... So I guess Ill just plug along and register patients and concentrate on the good life I have instead of food and the holidays!!!!! Carla

I didn't have any gas issues, but lot of people say applying a heating pad to where it hurts helps.

Feel better soon
