Gulp.

Mr. had the fourth (I've lost count) of which I am not referring to today.  Disclaimer:  If you haven't noticed, the economy is in the toilet, he's heard that his company is shaving off a percentage of the workforce like everybody else, and yours truly cannot work out of the house at the moment.  We're A Little Bit VERY Concerned About That State Of Our Union.  But, I think this time someone Google-d and found the Mrs.  (Hi!)  He was waiting to see credit check hit his "credit fraud alert email" not the blog search.   

Nude After Weight Loss Surgery.

You really want to see that?

Are you a glutton for punishment?

Fun with search terms.

No.  Not necessarily. 

Today - you're looking for coke.  And, not Coca-Cola.  But, whatever.  Have I EVER mentioned dr_gs?  How does Google decide that my "Melting Mama" page discusses it? 

In fact - I can't copy + paste the searches because many of them are Very Inappropriate!  Very!  Who wants to see these things?  You are some sick people out there.

You Googled, I Answer!

"melting mama + coverage" was the search.

What did you want to know?  If you're asking about my health insurer that covered my gastric bypass?  It was Blue Cross Blue Shield of Rhode Island, a PPO. 

I had a qualifying BMI, and apparently enough co-morbidities to have the procedure covered, in it's entirety. 

While I say I did not have co-morbidities, a surgeon looking to write a letter regarding coverage may see it differently.  He may have written in things like GERD (acid reflux), depression issues due to weight (sure, don't we all?), but that is really all there was.

For my husband, a qualifying BMI, high blood pressure, arthritis issues, high cholesterol, and other things that I do not recall.

What wasn't covered?  The mandatory behavioral psych visits and a program fee.  I believe it was $50.00 per visit with the p-doc and $800.00 for the program all together for both of us.  Like I said before, we were kicked out of the small group behavior visits, so we were forced to have individual paid visits with the p-doc.

If you were looking for coverage regarding plastic reconstructive surgeries - we've already been denied by the same insurance company.  We can both appeal and re-apply as necessary, but it's sort of on hold right now.

If you're here? Comment. You Must. It's now required.

Who's here?  Show of hands?  Regular comment-ers, I know who ya are, but you blank-faced visitors, say something.

Translation, please!

Hello to my visitors from Estonia, all several hundred of you. I know they've come to see Renee Williams, but how did my link come from that link? Someone translate for me?

Thank you referrers.

I'd had a lot of traffic here lately - and although most of it came via people searching for Renee Williams - I noted a lot of love from a couple of other sites.

My top referrals lately:

1. Quixotic WLS
2. A Smaller Target
3. Hot Fat For Sale
4. Deluzy

Thank you for sending people my way. 

Who am I?

To the couple of you asking "Who is Melting Mama?"  It's not me. There are a few other blogs, and websites that use the same name, so I can't claim it as mine entirely.  I'm wondering why you want to know, though, it's weird.  I'm a very boring girl.  Asking "who is" makes me sound, mysterious.  Ooh, mysterious mama.  It's just the pen name I'd picked for my first blog entries, because I didn't want to use my real name, I should have been a mysterious mama, but, whatever, I blogged weight-loss photos, and chopping my head off was tiring.  Therefore, I've used Melting as my first name and Mama as my last for all sorts of things in the past few years.  I'm getting lazy now, and I sign comments and such with MM.  I respond to it, it's bizarre.  If you refer to me as Beth online, I'm all, "And, Who Are You?!" 

So when I see keyword searches for my real name, or any variation of, I immediately latch on to that person as a potential psycho at my door.  That, has only happened, I think, twice in the last three months, and the person outted themselves by what words went with my name.  It was "___ - _____ ________ __ Beth ________."  Wanna play hangman?  Anyways - I jumped on that like peanut butter on jelly, and was all "Who Wants To Know?!" right?  It took me ten seconds to figure it out.  So, anyways, I may or may not be whom you seek, so I can't tell you who "Melting Mama" is. 

I sure as hell can tell you this, she ain't "charlie weis mama."  (Do I appear THAT old?!)  Oh, and this just in while I wrote this:  I AM Certainly Not This:   http://www.bigb**bs.com/Lactating - Mamas Someone came to ME from THAT page, where I am listed in the search results.
