Good job! Love the pictures! Congrats on eating out and making healthy choices! Keep up the good work! You look great!!!!

Thanks so much wishes!!!!

I would be worried too! Can you call your Dr. office? My office says to call even after hours. Sounds like blood, but don't know if it is normal from the surgery or not.

YAY!!! I got my acceptance letter in the mail today! This is ON!!! I'm excited! Woot woot!!!!

Thanks so much Sheila!!!! I got my letter today that said I am covered for sleeve surgery! YAY....so only thing to get me in ink is to talk to the Dr. office on Tuesday and get it in Ink!!! WOOT WOOT!!!

I sure hope to make it in ink for that day....If not then I hope to keep my surgery in for sometime in July. I can't WAIT to watch all you guys go ahead of me. I'm so anxious to get my date for sure. I had a surgery date of July 21st to get Lapband and then changed my mine after reading all the issues involved with Lapband. So here I am. I'm hoping to just move my surgery date up to the 22nd when my Dr. does sleeve surgeries on the next day. I'm hoping that my UHC insurance will feel the same about sleeve as it did for Lapband. I can't wait to get to know you FireCrackers. My birthday is July 16th....I can't think of a better gift to myself than a new beginning.

thanks so much to be me again and Kristey! I'm hoping to hear the end of this coming week. It is so hard to be patient. Thanks for the encouragement!

So proud of you for accomplishing so much during such a trying time! Definitely make sure you use that caller ID...only talk to him when you have to! Good luck and keep up the good work!

You look so great!!!! Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your pictures!

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you! Your loss is AMAZING! Keep up the good work!

What a mess you have been through! Let the countdown begin! Good luck and calm vibes being sent your way! Happy belated Birthday!

I've had a few surgeries and the gas left over from the Laproscopy is always the worst thing. One time the gas got trapped in my right shoulder and that was very painful for a few days. I hope you feel better very soon. Take it slow...it sounds like you are doing a great job. Now come around and tell me the same thing after I have my surgery! You ARE doing a great job Hang in there!

Sorry that happened to you. The pharmacist is probably just as embarrassed, but maybe s/he learned his lesson not to ask. I've feared being asked this question...it has never happened, but I also were my pants tight and always have a muffin top. Soon, none of us will be confused as being pregnant! Proud of you for laughing it off!

I don't have my official date yet...but still plan to start the pre op diet on July 7th. That day will go cold turkey from my cherry coke habit. I will probably have horrible withdrawals. I'll be jonesing for a soda and have a headache too. Ima true addict. I can't tell you how many times I have tried to kick it in the past. It is one of the main reasons I have never been able to maintain my weight and one of the main reasons I've decided to have the surgery. I will not be able to go back on my decision to quit! Good luck to all those who are addicted to soda!

Good luck Kath-A-Leena and Simply_KiZmet I hope today went WONDERFUL!!!! I hope you heal fast and share all your wonderful news!

If you don't really think you would be missed....and you sister would have someone else to lean on maybe you could go ahead with your sleeve. Maybe you can offer to go spend time with her later. Send flowers or a plant now. I don't know all the details...but a lot of people need help later on after all the other people have gone away....after the shock has worn off. If there are kids...maybe you can offer to help with the kids...or some other special circumstances later on in a month or so when you have healed. Just an idea. How far away does she live from you? Make sure if you do decide to do this you explain it to her in detail and tell her how much you love her etc. Good luck with this tough situation!

Yay!!! Congratulations! Good Job!

Sorry to hear about this...but other girls are right...better to know now than after! I hope it all stays on track from here!

WOW 6 days!!!!!! AMAZING!!! Congratulations!

urine color IS not a good sign. Definitely drink a lot more water. I just ended up with kidney stones from not drinking enough after moving to Texas. I hope you feel better soon.

I hope you can find a good option. I wonder if your surgeon could arrange something where you can come back. I hope you can make a deal! Good Luck! Try not to worry too much!

AWESOME!!! Keep up the great work!!!!

You look ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!!!!!! WOW JUST WOW!!!!!!!!!

Yay! That is very exciting! Congratulations!

Just called to check on my insurance approval status. It is only a week since I've changed my mind from LB to sleeve...but it seems sooooooo very long. I know I'm being silly but just so ready to get this ball rolling. I'll call again next Thursday to see if I got my approval or not.... I'm kicking myself for not making the decision for sleeve in the first place! Just needed to vent some energy. Thanks for listening!!! ARGH!!!
