Just for the record there is NO quilt listed for sale with seller
"Starranch1" 'cause I just looked it up. There is a seller named "Starranch1" but no quilt. -- Kathy in CA Quilting Stuff: http://photos.yahoo.com/bc/kathys1068 "Cheyne" wrote in message om... Please read this fully...... Thank you for your time! My name is Cheyne, the eldest daughter of my mom. Growing up my mom has always had problems with her weight but the past few years, things have gotten bad for her. After having an emergency hysterectomy and nearly dying from blood loss, she came home determined to make herself better. Doctors have told her that the reason she has problems with her thyroids, very high blood pressure and the slowing in her pace come from the fact that she is overweight. She has seriously high blood pressure that is difficult to control, even with medications and the arthritis in her knees has become crippling. She has tried countless diets, pills, supervised diets, classes everything to help her become a healthier person, but nothing has seemed to work for her. I know that if she was to have the gastric bypass surgery that she so longs for, her life would brighten up finally and she wouldnt have all these medical problems that continously plague her. Rather than asking for donations, I asked my mom to start making me some quilt blocks so I could sell them online to make some money for college bills. She is a very honest, loving person and would never ask anyone for anything; in fact she would probably be embarassed if she knew that I had done this for just because she would feel that people would think she was begging which she is not. She is an absolutely WONDERFUL quilter. She thinks the only chance she might have funding her surgery would be to sell her award winning quilt which is listed on ebay right now *You can see it if you look up "Starranch1" on ebay members*. I really dont want her to do that since it is her prized posession, so I am going to try my luck and see how I do at helping my mom. Heres what I ask from my moms fellow quilters in the world, Send a donation of one dollar, or whatever you wish, and I will send you a heart quilt block for each dollar recieved. Either to use them in a quilt or a picture frame, they are beautiful. The dimensions are 3 1/4" inches square and when sewn into a quilt 2 3/4" square. Need certain colors? Just ask! Please send all donations with a self address stamped envelope so i can send the blocks back to you. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me!

my prayers for your mom. I know several people that have had gastric bypass
surgery and it has helped them tremendously. That said....I work for one of the "big 5" health insurance companies. Has your mom checked (and double checked) with her health insurance carrier about coverage for the surgery? In general, unless the health plan specifically denies this type of surgery it can be covered if she meets "medical necessity" criteria. This may vary by carriers, but at least for my carrier, if she has a BMI of 30 or higher and/or has the "proper" con-current conditions (sounds like she may) she might be able to get the surgery covered. She should have her doctor submit a request for precertification of the surgery with her medical history. Even if she is initial turned down at precertification, she could talk to the human resources department....there should be someone there that can grant a waiver for her to have it covered. If you wish to e-mail me, I can try to be more specific and/or help with the red tape as best I can. -- Siptah Columbus, OH (PS. I have helped a few members of RTCN and RTCQ get certification for breast reduction surgeries that they thought wouldn't be covered, gastric bypass surgery falls into the same surgical category) "Cheyne" wrote in message om...

I agree with what others have said. have your mom check with her
physician. If she is *seriously* overweight and it is a threat to her helth, many isurance companies will cover the cost of the gastric bypass surgery. It's a hassel to get everything by the insurance people but it can be done. On a side note, the surgery alone does NOT solve the weight problem. If, after the surgery, a person eats improperly or overeats it will have a very negative impact on weight loss. I had a similar (termed a gastroplasty or stomach stapling, not a bypass) surgery done many years ago and changing eating habits is what solves the problem. The surgery makes it a LOT easier to change, tho'! In my surgery, a row of staples was put across my stomach, reducing the size of the stomach that accepts the food. There is a *very* small opening from the new "top" of my stomach to the new "bottom" of my stomach. This means that when I eat, the food goes into the top of my stomach, gets digested so that is goes through the tiny opening to the bottom of my stomach and then gets digested further as it makes the normal trip through my intestines. I get full a lot faster so I eat a LOT less. Even with my type of surgery, you can stretch out that top portion of the stomach so that you can eat almost as much as you ate before. Also, if all you eat is junk, you won't lose weight very fast! HMMMM -- thats probably a LOT more than anyone wanted to know about stomach surgery -- LOLOL! When I had it done -- must be about 20 years ago by now -- the insurance company paid for 90%! I just asked DH and he said our 10% was somewhere around $750.00 -- boy, was THAT cheap -- LOL!

I just checked as well, but I looked at all the feedback. This member
bought more often than sold....my question is, if there are money troubles, why is this person BUYING things from ebay????

The quilt was on Ebay---the auction closed on August 4th and there were no
bids. It ran for about a week. You can see a picture of it if you ask to also see her closed auctions for the last 2 weeks. I think it's cross stitch. Pretty much the same story was posted on Ebay as we got here. Whatever.............. Betty "Polly Esther" wrote in message ... Doesn't quite feel right to me either.
