I just wanted to start a new thread since i am no longer crushed! just got word today and i got the new job! w/ the benefits that start day 1 and that approve lap band with no stipulations!!! i'm on my way to band land! i start May 29th!!!!!!!!!!!

so my doctor called me yesterday and said i am covered my insurance i just have to provide 6 month diet history and 5 yr weight history. so i have all of that i've been calling the doctors office for 2 days now they FINALLY called me back a lil bit ago and said "i've called the insurance 3 times and they say its not covered i dont know who called the first time and found out it was covered and put this in your file but you were mis informed you aren't covered." then got off the phone me... to leave me balling my eyes out uncontrollably. how can they do this to a person and have no remorse! they had me so excited and now have crushed me!!! my mother is pissed off! so she called the doctor and they said they can't help what the insurance company says and my mom said you can help what you say. and they said well we'll send her paperwork on how she can pay for it herself. my mom said don't bother she can not afford it! i am so hurt.. i dont know what to do. i feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest!!!! please someone talk to me.:help:

:update: :update: :update: I got the job!!!!!!!! I start may 29th! and my benefits start day 1!!! so my plan is to be banded before my birthday on dec 31!! countdown til new job starts.... 39 days! then i can say :peace:to this place!!!! :eek: :eek: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat: :bananapartyhat:

i would disagree there. i think true love does exsist. but most dont get to experience it. i hadnt until my current relationship. and in my 2 previous relationships i knew it wasnt true love and that it ultimately wouldnt last. but with my g/f we share something so great, something i wish everyone could feel. a connection beyond connection, a love so strong that even when we are away from each other we still feel as though we are together, as though we are inside of each other, a love so strong that the minute we are apart we already miss each other, a bond so tight that we always finish each others sentenses or even say something the other was about to say, a connection so deep that honestly sex has nothing to do with. i believe there is such thing as true love. i dont so much think love is an emotion as it is an action word. to love someone truely means you will do anything and everything for that person and with every inch of your body mind and soul you feel deeply for that person. And Monique if you get to read this.. that is what I feel for you. you are my rock, my safe place, my landing pad. Thank you I wish that EVERYONE gets to feel this at some point in their life!

thank you! i love deep thoughts like this!

Update! i had my interview yesterday!!!! OMG! it was tough! the questions they asked were really hard. they wanted detailed instances when i felt this way or that or i did this or that. and of course the minute they ask the question i suddenly find myself back in high school having never worked anywhere and can't remember a stitch of experience i have!!! i met with the HR lady, then watched a DVD about the company, then the HR lady wanted me to speak w/ 2 supervisors from the department! it was a lil over an hour interview all together. i feel pretty good about it. She said they'll be making a descision after they review the candidates and will call either way whether yes or no! probably this week!!! so please please please pray for me! and i'll let ya'll know once i hear from them. i called "bigthunder" (see above posts) and told him how the interview went and he said its a good sign that they had me speak to the supervisors cuz he heard that if they aren't interested in you you dont go any further than the HR lady!

ok so maybe its not that great with food but them margaritas! mm mm good! lol

the bullet is amazing! my aunt had gastric bypass and used it for everything during her mushies stage. i saw her blend baked chicken and veggies numerous times. i bought one a while back and it makes magnificent margaritas! lol but i will be using it much more once i'm banded i'm sure. i recommend it to everyone! i caught mine on sale at walmart for like 30 bucks. its usually much more than that! you've gotta get one... and i recommend the maragrita! hehehe

Does anyone know if memory loss can be caused by being over weight? i am only 25 and have the worst memory in the world. i don't remember it always being this bad! my g/f is always saying that i dont listen to her. but truely i do.. every word.. i just have difficulty retaining it. even things i've done or said... i have no recollection of! its crazy! i'm going to ask my doc when i go but i wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem and maybe i after being banded and losing weight has it got better.:help:

thank you for all ya'll replies! it makes me feel better to know i'm not the only one!

im in the process of finding a new job. i already know the insurance here doesn't cover the surgery so i've applied at a place i know approves it! i have an interview there next tuesday! as far as a diet.. nope not on one. just kinda watching what i eat. i really think i have sleep apnea. if i can just get the band and lose weight i'm hoping it will all be corrected in time

Our new puppy! Jazmin (Jazzy for short). We just got her wednesday.

lol i sure hope so! lol i've never wore one! thats too funny to even think about cuz even as a child when we had a pool and i was a fish i still wouldnt wear one! so maybe one day! lol

thank you so much. i'm so glad that i decide to ask this question on this forum. i never thought to link it to my weight until recently. but i've always thought i had a touch of A.D.D but i think its just that i struggle with focusing.

I wake up and fall back asleep really easily. i'm very easily awakened. My g/f always says "i sure wish i could fall asleep as fast as you." for example, say the cats wake me up cuz they are into something, i wake up tell them to shut up, close my eyes and she says i'm already snoring again. so 2nd question yes i snore, only if i lay on my right side or my back, no so much when i'm on my left side or stomach. when i wake up i'm usually really thirsty. have been known to wake up and go to the kitchen and drink a whole glass of tea, or koolaid, or water in the middle of the night. if i go to sleep say 10 and sleep to 11 on a saturday yes i will wake with a headache. and very seldom do i feel well rested. i have a lot of stress too at work. i'm very unhappy at my job and quite frankly am miserable. and i know that can have something to do with sleep apnea too. years ago (back when i was married and very very unhappy) i was always feeling tired and actually falling asleep while driving. somehow i could take short lil naps at stop lights. i went to the doc and she wanted to test me for apnea but i was too scared. well shortly after that i got divorced and became much happier in life and it stopped happening. now aside from memory loss... i'm falling asleep at work some, i can be sitting straight up working and just fall asleep. its not happening while i'm driving though.. or should i say yet.

is he overweight? is he banded? if it is apnea.. isn't that something that goes away (most times) with weight loss.

:update: :update: :update: I called the place i took the test at yesterday to ask for an email address to send my resume because it is required to fax it but i didnt want to fax it from my current place of employment. well the woman called me back and left a message saying, call me back about your testing yesterday. so i just called her and........... THEY WANNA INTERVEIW ME!!!! :whoo: WOOT WOOT! lol. so i go next tuesday afternoon!! only bad thing is the position doesnt start until May 29th!!! and i hate this place i work now! so i'd have to tough it out til then!! but its worth it! so Pray for me! I'll let ya'll know how it goes!!!!! :rockon: :becky: :cheer2: :banana (ok thats enough happy smilies! hehehe)

well i feel like i breezed thru the assesment test yesterday! so i'm crossing my fingers they call me SOON! lol i get so ansy!

UPDATE. i believe i have found a new job that i know covers the surgery. A fellow soon to be banster on this site found me, he lives in oklahoma, and he told me about his place of employment, so i've applied there and i go for an assessment test tomorrow morning. Benefits start on day one! so i could be banded within months of starting! looks like things might finally be looking up! woo hoo!! i'll keep ya'll advised! if i get the job i'll start a new thread since i will no longer feel "crushed" hehehe

oh why not.. here are my other 3 babies Grayson, Cloey, and Louey

lets see if this works.....notice in the 1st pic the cat, thats grayson, stalking poor kenz! lol

mine is a black teddy bear and her name is mckenzie but we call her kenzie or skinz. lol she so precious!!! my cats love her too. although from time to time she tries to bite and pull their faces or tails thru her cage i think she likes them too. lol shes so fat and so soft and just so cute. yes i know they dont live long but i just love love love her. we've had her since like last july.

i picked cats... although i do adore my lil hamster! i never dreamed i could love her the way i do! shes so precious!

no.. mom is upset cuz she can't help me pay actually. she probably coulda a lil while back but after getting fired on valentines day and now struggling to keep her house... there is no way.
