I checked with Voc. Rehab prior to have WLS. There are several qualifications for RNY. My husband ended up changing jobs and his insurance paid for my WLS, so I did not go thrugh them. The lady I dealt with was real nice. She told me what all I needed to qualify etc and that at the time, there was a 2 year waiting list within the state but you could go out of state and have it done right away. Only thing, out of state docs do not accept what Voc. Rehab pays as full payment. Instate doc's do. Sorry I am really no help here. Have you spoken with a Voc. Rehab rep?

Hey, I live in Belmont but sometimes work out of our Amory Office. What day and time are you thinking about meeting? I might cuold just hang around sometimes and join you guys!!

Well the surgeon's office called me today. I have had 2 drug tests to prove that I have been off my pain pills since Aug and passed both of them of course.. She set me up an appointment to go back and see the surgeon Feb 21, 2008, she said i would have to have the upper scope done again because it will be 6 months in Feb but i should get a surgery date then also...I am so happy that it is getting closer..Thanks for all the support i have got from you all. Thanks Sonya

I will certainly remember her and all the pain she will have to go through.  Thanks for letting us know.  Love you - D
