it's my understanding that Medical does not cover the RNY Gastric Bypass, but they will do the lap band, and the hoops and hurdles are worse than the ones Patrick had to jump through.

I'm going to have to side with Donna on this one. A little patience, understanding, and careful word choice will go a long way.

I went back and looked at every post you have made since you came on this forum before I responded to you. Every single post was filled with requests (such as "My husband needs a job" WTF??) and exclamation points.

People who come on this site and introduce themselves and show a little respect are welcome additions to the forum. Think of the forum as a room full of people. Would you walk into a room with, say, 100 people in it that you don't know, and raise your voice and start demanding answers to your questions. I don't think you'd make a lot of friends. And I certainly don't think anyone would want to find your husband a job. Use the same amount of respect that you would use joining a room of people you don't know, and I guarantee you will be accepted and welcomed.

By the way, whether I have taken my pills or not or even have pills to take is none of your business, just like knowing the restrictions of your medical insurance is none of mine. You don't make a good case for being a victim here, and btw, people on this forum don't take kindly to that, either.

Sorry if I don't live up to your standards. I didn't know there is supposed to be a certain way to post things on here. Maybe I should take lesson 101.....

Way to go Donna. Another candidate for ignore perhaps? What a rude person! We have an abundance of trolls lately.

I'm hoping that with a freeze out and the solidarity of our reactions to her gauche behavior she will take the hint and leave on her own. But you are right, we have had a rash of ignorant, socially ignorant people lately.
