Awwwww, that was sooooo beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing that with us.

Congrats Pat! I love the way my band makes me thiink twice about picking up that cookie or donut! Great job and back in the oneseys again! :banana :banana :banana

Leatha - I tried the address you posted and couldn't get it to go through either. I don't know what is going on, but it sure doesn't sound good from my view point. They were quick to call and let me know there was a delay of a week, but that way 3 weeks ago, now I can't get an answer.

I have sent 3 emails to orders@lap-bandforlife.com but I haven't had any response from them. I sent one this morning saying if I don't hear something back I was cancelling my order and contacting my credit card company.

I smell a rat too! It's not even worth a comment!

Way to go Darcy! Hey girl, you are too pretty to worry about sagging and flopping! I did really good exercising until Sunday morning, now I can't walk for a few day due to a foot problem. UGH! I will be back on that treadmill as soon as it heals up though!

Great job Laurie! Darcy - you did so well last week, you'll be fine this week! I looked on Saturday (since I was having my party) and I was down 3 pounds from Wednesday's fill. Well, this morning I was down a pound, I guess it must have had something to do with those few drinks and that fattening food! lol Anyway, a pound is good, I have a hurt foot and couldn't exercise at all on Sunday so I won't complain, especially since I ate so good!

Whoooo Hoooo Teresa! :banana :banana :banana :banana :banana I am doing the happy dance for you! What an amazing job! I am proud of you girl! :laugh

Vera - You are supposed to be able to take a deduction on your taxes this year for any weight loss programs etc. I am looking forward to getting the new tax forms to read exactly what all is involved, but from what I understand, any exercise program, or WW, South Beach, Jenny Craig etc. is diductible. Also WLS is supposed to be too. So, I guess we will see. I read the article not too long ago, but I forgot what it said. It was before I had surgery and I figured I wouldn't have enough to worry about deducting. I'll let you know if I hear anything else.

Leatha - $180.00 is a lot of money, especially this time of the year. Someone goofed and it wasn't you, fight lady for your money! I am fired up now, I'll come fight with you!

Yup, even WW and South Beach is supposed to count. Hey, I didn't keep my charges on them, I paid them with credit card though so maybe I can get a copy!

I would definately call them and tell them how you were assured they accepted the insurance. Why did it take them so long to bill you? You're right, something don't add up there. Get out your boxing gloves and get em!

I'll probably sabatage myself with my party tomorrow night. I am baking cookies, making candy, and of course some food to serve. Of course there will be drinks too! I hope I make it through without too many licks, bites, and tastes! lol

Mine is itimized already!

Food is probably her best friend right now. Maybe you should sit down and have a nice talk with her.

I haven't checked to see if it got charged to my credit card. They aren't supposed to charge it till they ship it!

She probably feels bad cause she is so big, and you are losing, so she will try anything to get you to stay her size. It seems like there is one in every crowd. She might act like it doesn't bother her, but it does.

Thanks Darcy, I just would have felt much better if I had known about these charges, and the one on the hernia could have waited till after the holidays! Just like Leatha's, it's not a good freaking Christmas present! We'll find a way to take care of these I'm sure, I always say " Where there's a will, there's a way".

I really want to look into that new law they passed on the weight loss deduction. I wonder if it is more of a deduction than regular medical expenses or is it all grouped together. I have an accountant that does the stuff here at work, and he did my taxes the first couple of years I came here. I might have to have him do them again this year. I'll have to check out the laws and see.

Great post Megan, and sooooo true!

I got an additional bill from the hospital too, for $733.16, for all the medications, anesthesia, drugs (hey, I didn't get any of those), recovery room, supplies etc. I'm glad they told me this was going to be separate! Not one word saying that there would be additional charges!
