In most cases, you can take a 'disability' day if you need it for a Dr. appointment or a pre-op 'cleansing' situation. Your Dr would have to included this on your paperwork. If not, a lot of comapnies/states will start by counting the day of your surgery. Good luck!

Best wishes and prayers!!

I'm in the approval process as well. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and the red dress!!

Yea!!!! That's so awesome

Welcome and we will keep our fingers crossed for you?

Wow you look fab!! You just made me so happy. Our start stats are almost identical. Thanks for the hope!! And good luck.

I'm in PGH too. Who's your doctor?

Oh no! :-) I quoted eeyoregirl70 for a congrats! I would love 11-8 as my date but still waiting. Sorry for the confusion!

Whoo hoo!!!!

Prayers!!!

I'm so happy for you!!!

OH I HEAR YOU! I am ALWAYS hungry for no reason most of the time. I am SO hoping the pouch helps control the hunger and least until I can get a grip on it. At least I can't eat as much and I am terrified about stretching it out. To get through the preop I have been on appetite suppressants. Sad huh?? But I only was losing about a pound a month and following the diet plan. I couldn't risk accidently eating a piece of pizza and gaining it back. lol Hang in there!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!

WOW You look great!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Yep teared up... I know it is just me being insecure... I really really want to believe this. I rem, being 135 pounds and my dance teacher being disgusted with me. So, I can't even get the courage to go to the track or the gym. I do envy her.

Awesome news! Hope you are all better soon! I am in the waiting game too. They should be submitting me for approval (fingers crossed) next week. Just waiting on the nutritionist signature. She only signs things on Tuesdays.

PaulB is right! This is a great place and everyone is very helpful. It has been a blessing for me. I have never had surgery and being able to ask questions and read what others have openly posted has been a blessing. Good luck to both of you!

Welcome! Everyone here is fantastic and very helpful. Good luck to you.

OH I know what you mean. :-) Good luck to you! It is so hard but it will be worth it. hang in there

I swear they do this crap on purpose. I have avoided my PCP at all costs. I really don't have one but I know if I MUST deal with the office staff it is going to be awful. I know the job sucks but they just don't care. We have to remind them that we are the CUSTOMER. Gtood Luck!!!!

This is a common side effect of low iron. Be careful :-)

Wow that's a huge success. Way to go!

They Are ready to submit for my approval as soon as the nutritionist signs off. That should be Tuesday. We will see how long it takes.

Any other Nov folks out there?
