Topic: RE: 5 Year Surgiversary
Sorry to hear about your problems, but major congratulations on the new life and 5 year surgery anniversary! Size 4 is way awesome! 
I'll be happy just to make it into the single digits if I can.

Jay, if that doesn't work there is a PCP there at St. V.'s in Carmel that I and my DH did our 6 month supervised diet with and they have a really good success rate of getting folks approved.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life. Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Lois-
Congrats on your 5year surgery anniversary! WOOHOO...
I can touch on the Spinchter of Odie topic just a little with you. I've had some unexplained sharp pains that double me over and can last anywhere from 15min-hour. One of my options was to go in and see if I have Spinchter of Odie and what you described is exactly what they said I would have to go through also. What scared me was the high chance of getting pancreatitis after the procedure. So I'm not liking the choice either and I have not gone through with it. Trying to weigh my options and decide how the pain affects my quality of life. For me it's a hard choice and one I need some time to decide on.
Congratulations on your weight loss, being able to shop at Kohl's and I wish you much continued success!

Topic: RE: insurance denied surgery
Thank you for your info Melissa and Terry! I hear what you're both saying...just frustrating that I have to wait another 6 or 7 months for approval. I know some people have to submit 18 mths so I should stop complaining and get on with it. :)
Thanks again...Jay
Thanks again...Jay
