Where are all the teachers PERIOD.

Hi... I'm a teacher in So. California - I teach high school computer stuff... digital imaging, web publishing and an Office class. I'm a husband with 3 wonderful kids - whew... life can get busy! As far as the WLS stuff... I just recieved my approval letter from Kaiser and am now waiting to hear back from UCLA for meeting with the surgeon... I just found the OH site and am learning tons and already have recieved lots of advise and supportive email from several members! Cool Beans!

Congratulations on your approval Groove Daddy! I hope that you have as much success as I have with WLS. I feel like it has been a complete miracle for me. Good Luck and keep us posted on your surgery date. Christie

Christie, I just found the board today. Thanks for leading me here. Yes, it looks like you are going to have to get it jump started. I'm here with ya honey. If we are more active here, I think more teachers will crawl out of the woodwork also. Diane, Pruetty Chic

Not having a main link hinders the postings. Out of sight out of mind.

Hye! I just found this part of the web site! How cool to be able to talk to other teachers about weight AND teaching!

Same here guys! I just found this site today. Guess we are all just super busy during the school year...don't have time to explore! I will be checking this site more often!! Jeannie

Well Im in Tennessee, and waiting for a hopeful approval to my 1st appeal letter. I have BC BS Empire. Anyone else out there have them? I was praying it would be done and settled for a summer surgery and no time off work... but looks like it will be done after the new year starts in August IF it's approved that is... because my Dr. requires a $2500 down payment PRE surgery, which is hard for me to have in the summertime with less income. So even if its approved, I'll have to wait til I can whip up $2500. We shall see. Good luck the end of the year and enjoy your summers everyone. Get plenty of relaxation and rest
