| WLS Mentor  |  Do you qualify? Ok i just had to ask this. A person is visiring an insanw assylum and talking with the director. The visitor asks, "How do you know a person qualifies to be institutionalized?" The director answers, "Simple. We fill a bath tub with water, give the person a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket. Then we tell the person to empty the tub." So my question to all of you is, how would you empty the tub?

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| WLS Mentor | So rozzy, it seems that both you and i will soon be institutionalized because i never thought of pulling the plug either. The rest of you, right on. Here's the rest of that riddle. 'The visitor says, "Oh, i see, because a normal person would use the bucket since it is the biggest and will take less time to empty the tub with." The director replys, "No, a normal person would pull the plug."

| WLS Mentor | Thanks Chuppy. I guess i had a bit of the winter blues, and was so frustrated with all the delays and snags. Then i started smoking again so i haven't gotten my surgery date yet. (I am quit again since yesterday and so now i have to wait at least six weeks before i can sheduale, and then the surgeon's office has to get permission to do the surgery, that OHIP will pay for it, my deadline from the last approval only lasted until Feb. How's all with you? Still lovin the new you?
