Was a humpty dumpty

So today I received a reminder card in the mail for Oct 25th Options program classes! The Dr cancelled it and they still sent one. I should play dumb and show up!

Yay for you!

Is Mexico an option for you? There are many people on these boards that could help you. Price would be half of what you are paying.

That's amazing..

For the past month I have this numb pain under my right rib when I lean, or bend over. Anyone else ever have this?

Happy Birthday, You look great.

Wow that's great. How exciting!

Wow that's great!

I don't know if you read my post last week. After my go around with Kaiser.I not sure what do. For days I have been myself to just forget the whole thing just try again on own. Now I am starting to get my fight back on.. I am not sure which way to go, fight the under 40 BMI with my HP,HC fatty liver, or gain some weight plus put weights in clothes. What do you think is the best route? NIH Requirements for Weight Loss Surgery The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a division of the US Department of Health and Human Services, is considered one of the world's foremost medical research centers. The NIH has set patient criteria for weight loss surgery which states that eligible patients should have a BMI of 40 or higher (morbidly obese) or a BMI of at least 35 with co-morbidities (obesity related health conditions) such as diabetes, sleep apnea, heart disease, high cholesterol, or hypertension (high blood pressure) and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Eligible patients must also have attempted and failed at previous weight loss efforts and need to pass a psychiatric evaluation to be recommended for weight loss surgery.

I was told I did not qualify and then Kaiser sent the paperwork saying I did. I went to the orientation, had an EKG, Bloodwork ups. Set up my Options classes. I went to the Kaiser Bariatric Dr in Lancaster and after reviewing my chart he says I don't qualify because I am 10 pounds under the 40 bmi mark (I have 2 co-morbidity's). The Dr. said someone at the Options program screwed up by sending me the paperwork.

This what I found.. I just don`t get Kaiser.
