Event: 1952 La France Firetruck at Brookshires Wildlife Museum

April 10th, 2012

1952 La France FiretruckThe Brookshires Wildlife Museum is having a big event of family fun Wednesday April 11at 10am.

There will be a free concert, free ice cream, and a free T-shirt for each person who comes.

The event is in celebration of the dedication of the 1952 La France Firetruck. You’ve probably seen the firetruck in the playground.

It has been given a fresh coat of paint and looks nice. If your children are interested in firefighting like my son, you will want to bring them.

The actual original firefighters that drove this firetruck are dedicating it in person.

They are from the Dallas fire department. They will be telling some personal stories from when they went to fight fires in this 1952 firetruck.

I can imagine that it will be quite inspirational and educational. Come visit the Tyler Brookshires Museum tomorrow. Admission is free.

Surgical weight loss options in Tyler, Texas

July 21st, 2010

For those who are morbidly obese, or at least 100 pounds overweight, bariatric surgery can be an appropriate course of action.  Sometimes it may be the only course of action possible.  There are several different types of bariatric surgery, so speaking with a Tyler, Texas specialist is the best place to start.  Keep in mind however, that there are disadvantages that come with this type of surgery.

Most insurance companies see bariatric surgery as an elective procedure and getting them to pay for the surgery can be next to impossible.  You will need a liaison that has experience dealing with the insurance companies, and even then nothing is guaranteed. This type of surgery is very expensive, and paying out of pocket is simply not feasible for most people.  Finances can be the biggest barrier between you and your bariatric surgery.

If you can prove to your insurance company that the surgery is medically necessary and they give you the green light, you will still have challenges ahead of you.  Some surgeons require a period of counseling to be sure you are emotionally capable of dealing with the lifestyle changes required for this type of surgery.  You may also be required to try to lose a specific amount of weight naturally to prove your dedication or eliminate other health problems that may make surgery particularly dangerous.

If you are considering bariatric surgery in Tyler, Texas, talk to a doctor before making any decisions and be sure you understand everything that comes along with the procedure.
