newlife

Hi, JennyLynn, I live in Glendale and also have Dr. Blackstone. Ot would be nice to get Glendale bandsters together once in awhile. The support group in Scottsdale just does not fit in my schedule. I would love to get together and complain or celebrate the good things. Karen

Thank you Jack. I like your perspective. Karen

I am so excited. December 6 is less than a month away and so many things to do. This is actually going to happen. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to us all! Karen

Actually 7 years.

:kiss2::clap2::whoo:My request for lapband authorization was submitted on Nov. 1. It was approved on Nov. 4. I am still in shock. I don't have it in writing yet but I have the approval number. I'll post my surgery date as soon as I know it. This gives me a whole new meaning to "down side"!

Hi all, I am always hot. Many are always cold. How has weight loss or gain affected your body thermometer? Karen

Hi Jacole, I am also having surgery with Dr. Blackstone. I am going for lap band. How about you? I finished my 6 mo. diet on 10-10. I just want to get on with it. Not that I am impatient, but I WANT IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! lol

If I worked with the speed, accuracy, completeness and customer service as the insurance companies and doctor's offices, I would have been fired long ago. I finished my 6 month diet 10 days ago. They assured me it would be sent right over to the surgeon. WRONG! It has not been sent, dictated or ordered. No wonder the surgeon does not have it. I saw a psychologist for 5 months and was promised she would send the approval to the surgeon's office. WRONG! It has not been sent. I am really tired of sending emails and leaving voice messages. There! I feel better now. I just needed to get that off my chest. Now I can relax and fight the fight again on Monday. Wish me luck. I WILL have the band before the end of the year!:heh: Karen

You have such a way with words. I love it!

Big Fred, Congrats to you. I am dealing with Cigna now. Hope you got them all softened up for me. Happy Banding, Karen

CONGRATULATIONS! I KNEW IT WOULD BE THIS MORNING. :whoo::clap2::ranger:

Smooth Jazz, Blues and some hard rock like AC/DC
