URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED!

[Alex Brecher 10,502]

URGENT SUPPORT NEEDED: Representatives Johnson (D-TX) and Blumenauer (D-OR) are circulating a letter for members of Congress to support state health exchange plans providing equal and fair coverage for obesity treatment tools. The OAC is always advocating for better access to obesity treatment options, and they need YOUR help to explain why this is so important! It takes only 30 seconds! You can make a difference – ask your representatives to sign-on in support of covering obesity treatments in state health exchanges by clicking here.

Please also help spread the word – we have only a short time to influence this issue!

Done. Although everyone of my state representatives is an idiot so I'm not sure how much good it will do.

Hey, everyone. Hoping y'all are still around. I am a Heads Up program participate and could use some advice on what to expect. I just finished my two week liquid diet before the doctors approve me for surgery. Got my chest xray so just playing the waiting game.

Like you I finished my shakes on July 6th and completed my chest x-Ray on my two week visit. Now I'm waiting for the call. Please keep me updated when you receive your surgery approval call and I'll do the same.

Best Wishes for a successful surgery and banded life. Dr. Thomas is a great surgeon, and the follow-up visits have been great. Once you are a few weeks out from surgery, I can offer two bits of advice...... Schedule and go to ALL of your follow-up monthly appointments and get into some EXERCISE routine. I have a follow-up appointment tomorrow and since I will be one year out on August 22, I think they will start scheduling appointments every three months. I now exercise SIX days a week......If I can do it, just about anyone can do it.
