658 0 Posted September 1, 2008 I am a 52 year old male, I live in Bowling Green Ky and work as a paramedic. I have had a weight problem since I was a senior in high school. I have lost and gained several good sized people using phen-fen, low carb, Nutri system ETC. I had no health problems until a couple of years ago when my blood pressure started to rise and my ldl went up. Now I have a reason to lose weight other than vanity but I just yoyo. I am seeing the doctors at Vanderbilt. I am almost done with the prerequisites for insurance approvel except the support group and I am looking to join a group online. I have tried to find a support group but the only local is on a night I have a class. Has anyone used to online support to satisfy the weight loss group and insurance company.

JamieNP 20 Posted September 1, 2008 Hey! Welcome! I live in Clarksville and work in Nashville. My surgeon is in clarksville. Most hospitals that provide weight loss surgery have monthly support groups. Otherwise, I use this forum as my online support group. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheryl1952 0 Posted September 1, 2008 I have Humana and it does cover weight loss surgery. Do you have a different kind? I work for the board of education. I will be seeing the PA next Thursday and having all the basic testing done. From there I will be scheduling a cardiac and pulmonary test. I see my Primary doctor for my sixth supervised diet visit on September 17th and from there I see the surgeon turn in all paperwork and schedule surgery. Getting kind of scared now but excited.
