Whether moving bowls or bowels, I hope it goes smoothly.

So weird - earlier this morning there was an ad on TV for some weight loss program, and a woman named Tali (!) said she had failed bariatric surgery but the advertised program helped. And I thought - well that’s not OUR Tali, but I wonder what’s going on with her … and here you are!

Oh dear. I’m a year older than you, so I’m not the one. Let me ponder on this for a bit. Ideally, it would be someone who is already a long term participant here, who understands not just the tech aspects but also the ethos of this site, but not necessarily, especially if you remained the admin...

“Members of Congress have introduced legislation, most recently the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act of 2023 (H.R. 4818 and S. 2407), that would allow Medicare to cover AOMs.”

I would file a complaint with Kaiser first, saying your surgeon is refusing to refer you for a standard of care surgery that you otherwise are qualified for, that Kaiser does not perform, making an unfounded, unsubstantiated claim, which in any case is NOT true, based on your research, regarding...

[T]he U.S. healthcare system would save $7 trillion over 30 years, on top of all the benefits due to improved quality of life and productivity [if the new and undeniable effective drugs to treat obesity were covered by insurance and Medicare]. ~~~~~ Want Lower Obesity Drug Costs? Medicare Holds...

Sounds like you have things well in hand - let’s see if they handle it for you with the process they outlined.

What state are you in? I’m trying to first figure out who you might get to act as an ombudsman to most quickly coordinate your coverage. My first thought is that you should have the option under a continuation of coverage theory to be able to complete the months-long program you already...

So sorry to hear this. And yes, criminal.

Well the author is a columnist whose mandate is aging issues, so I guess she needs to keep the focus on the topic as it relates to older people. But yeah … I don’t like to think of myself as being 11 days from 70 at all.

This coming Saturday, we’re going up to the mountains for a week. Our community RV club is having a rally up there, and it’s my birthday week, so we’re getting the hell out of here. Charles isn’t happy about it - he’s in his contractor zone, even though we have a primary contractor, and he is...

Oof - I’ve been summoned! If I were adding on deluxe features to my toidy, music would not be one of them . FYI, should any of you ever decide to upgrade your life significantly for not that much money do not buy the hi-“end” features, starting with the dryer, which is a worthless expensive...

Bidet (don’t bother with the blow dry type - they are worthless and expensive and nobody has time to wait for the dryer to work - just pat dry with a bit of TP) Biopsy - knowledge is power

You need to come up with a title for yourself, like”Experiential Marketing Confidential Consultant” and charge them $1500/month for your services, for which you will provide a biweekly report on the services provided by the facility, and how either the service or the provider should be modified...

n=1 for each arm of this study, but identical twins. And the SADI twin started 11kg (almost 25 lbs) heavier than her DS sister. But very interesting.
