CONGRATS!!! Michelle wow and just 15lbs to go... that is so awesome!! you are doing so GREAT!!! Good Job

Congrats Penni!!!! You have done a wonderful job.. and someone I look up to!! GREAT JOB!!!

It should be recommended, I know that everyone right now is jumping on the WLS ban-wagon, but its needed for so many... I think that everyone should know about this and have the opportunity to get it. I havent heard anything on any of my local news channels.. but hear about it all the time on Discovery Health...

Yeah It could take that long... Or even 30 days... Keep in touch with your insurance company I highly recomend this... For me after 30days I started calling and found out my papers were in the wrong dept. got that fixed real quick.. call them once a week if you have to. All of them are diffrent but either way stay on thier tails. This is your break so fight for it!!! It might not happen tomorrow but IT WILL HAPPEN!! and you will be so much happier in the long run. Good Luck with everything and please let us know what happens.

wow jenna just 12 days and your scars look good.. barely nothing... they look like little scratches.. and im glad its not bursing around them... Nana.. You sexy thing you!! almost time to pull that bikini out eh? lol

I have UHC and they paid 90% of everything. It could be diffrent where you are.. I would just call.

Hey April Bandsters!! How is everyone today!! Kathy your day is just about here! Im so happy for you. Yesterday I started my Low-Carb diet and I think I gained 2lbs LOL ahhh my body is probably having a fit that im putting it on a diet again.. I wish i could lose 10lbs but I will be happy if I lose 5lbs before surgery! the 1 week before surgery I have to be on a liquid diet so I will lose there. So is anyone else going on a diet before surgery?? Take Care

Ahhhhh my "last meal"... I really cant go out and have a "last meal" everynight, im saving that money for my traveling. But... I am going up to CO for my pre-op just 3 days before I have to start my liquid diet.. So hubby and I are going to a reasturant out there called Texas Road House (I think lol) Its a steak resturant. Yummm after that well i will wait util i can eat all my favs. again in smaller amounts!

Good Luck with everything!! Let us know how everything went! Take Care

Sandie, Im with United Health Care... Good luck with your ins. co. and just keep on them anytime you can.. It will work out for you!!! Take Care

Oh how funny you post this... I just posted about my Dr. and staff on the Doctor part of the board. heres what I put...... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I do have the best Dr. and Staff... they are so wonderful to me. I have been stressing, nervous, and somewhat scared but Cameron Dr. Smith's asst. has been an angel to me. Im 365miles away from them and He has done everything to make it seem like im next door. If I have a question I email him and he calls me back right away even if he leves a message he will still call back making sure I understand and that he just talks to me. I couldnt ask for better service. I get so much information on LBT and anything I question I ask... every Dr. is diffrent and I go by what my Dr. wants and its nice to know Dr. Smith and Cameron are there for me! So if anyone is in the NM, CO area please go see Dr. Smith.. or PM me with questions. I recommend Dr. Smith and his staff to anyone! they are A++ in my book. I just thought you all should know! Thanks<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Sorry I had to send this Ghost Poopie The kind where you feel the Poopie come out, but there's no poopie in the toilet. Clean Poopie The kind where you poopie it out, see it in the toilet, but there is nothing on the toilet paper. Wet Poopie The kind where you wipe your butt fifty times and it still feels unwiped, so you have to put some toilet paper between your butt and your underwear so you don't runie them with a stain. Second Wave Poopie The kind that happens when you're done poopie-ing and you've pulled your pants up to your knees, and you realize you have to poopie some more. Turtle Poopie The kind of poopie that pops out a little and goes back in a few times before it finallly comes out Pop-a-Vein-in-your-Forehead-Poopie The kind where you strain so much to get it out, you practically have a stroke. Lincoln Log Poopie The kind of Poopie that is so huge you're afraid to flush without first breaking it into little pieces with the plunger. Gas-sy Poopie The kind where it's so noisy, everyone within earshot is giggling! Drinker Poopie The kind of Poopie you have the morning after a long night of drinking. It's most noticeable trait is the skid marks on the bottom of the toilet. Corn Poopie (Self explanatory) Gee-I-Wish-I-Could-Poop Poopie The kind where you want to Poopie, but all you do is it on the toilet and fart a few times. Spinal Tap Poopie That's the kind when it hurts so badly coming out, you swear it was leaving you sideways. Wet Cheeks Poopie (The Power Dump) The kind that comes out of your butt so fast, your butt cheeks get spashed with water. Liquid Poopie The kind where yellowish-brown liquid shoots you of your butt and spashes all over the toilet bowl. Mexican Poopie The kind that smells so bad your nose burns. Upper Class Poopie The kind of Poopie that doesn't smell. The Suprise Poopie You are not even at the toilet, because you are sure you are about to fart, but, OOPS---a Poopie! The Dangling Poopie This Poopie refuses to drop into the toilet even though you know you are done poopie-ing. You just pray that a shake or two will cut it loose.
