Vericks - Don't give up. It is so worth the battle and the fights. Stay on top of it and make sure the dr's have everything. I am seeing first hand if the dr's office the stuff getting insurance approval the first go round is much easier. Please let us know what we can do to help you out...we are all here for you!!!!

Kathy it might just be me and you.... This is what I have: Kathy, Kim, LovelyLT (Starr?), Karen is a maybe, Angie, and Melissa (I think is a maybe) Am I right...come on ladies.....help me remember. Also please remember to post what time of the month is good to meet for next month so that we can try to plan around everyone.

There is one in Winston that is used by a couple of ladies on here...Dr. Gonzales (I think is his name.) There is actually a thread w/ his name and number if I can remember correctly. I do not think Dr. B does fills for patients in Mexico...if memory serves correctly.

Wow such exciting things going on around here....Now we just need to get everyone to meet up w/ us at one of our outings.... Good Luck on all the upcoming appts... I have only meet Dr. B once and I didn't get the funny side of him either. So I can't talk from alot of experenice but he good at what he does. I am just glad there are so many doctors in our area that can treat poeple for this. There are some area of even NC that don't have any surgeons and have to come to Charlotte/Concord. Again GOOD LUCK!!!! I can't wait to see how your journey's go and thanks for including us in them.

Just a quick question - has your insurance told you how many fills they would cover before they wouldn't cover them anymore? I know there is no CPT code for it...so I am wondering how they would know how many you are having? Thanks for any input!!!

Has your insurance company ever put a limit on how many fills they will cover?

Loretta is that you? Girl go and confuss someone changing your name. Who told you, you could do that?

Sorry not me...I just entered the medical field on the 20th of March and Dianne is right it was with Dr. V. But it's ok if you keep anyone there late because we are all there for you.... I can't wait to meet you...we need a spicy red head in the group. haha

Yeah well at least I knew I did something right...they got it. haha... Well you will probably find out before me...

Well my baby is 3 today. WOW it's been three years since he blessed our lives and I wouldn't take a day of it back. It's been alot of ups and downs but to be able to look at him and him give you a big hug and say "luv you mommie" makes me feel so good. He has brought such joy into our lives..an come craziness. I never thought I could love someone so much and how something so small can over joy your heart. Ok just needed to reflect on the day...I think back to the hospital and the Wed he was born and the WHOLE day in labor just for him to arrive @ 10:36 that night by c-section none the less. haha. Well we are having a family cook out today for him...my in-laws aren't coming because my fil sugar is acting up and he is cranky so they aren't even coming to their grandson's birthday lunch. Go figure. At any rate we went to early service this morning and they had a little party for Curtis in his sunday school...he was so cute came out where his crown. He was so happy.... Well I need to go and make hamburgers 17 of them...UGH. Hope everyone has a great rest of the Sunday.

Jennifer you are doing great...I can't wait to see you agian. Maybe you can join us at our next one since you can't join us on April 1rst. We will miss you again...but totally understand. Keep up the GREAT work..I really can't wait to see you. Did you get any undergarments today? Or did you get a mini-van?

I was fine however - my 2 yrs old then was taken to daycare each day. I don't think I could have taken care of him while I was off more so the first few days. I wasn't suppose to lift more then 25 pounds for 2 weeks. DH helped @ night w/ him so it wasn't too bad for me. You know who could answer this great for you would be Court...she hasn't been on in a while but maybe she will see this. She is also a SAHM of 2 but I think hers are a little older then yours. Good Luck...Keep up posted!!!!!

Well said Jack!!!!!

Oh Jennifer I hope not....but you are probably right. How did I find it....well I told him (Dr. V) & Erin the office manager that I was being laid off and if they knew anyone hiring I would get them my resume. The next thing I know is I was emailing my resume to him and even w/ no medical exp they thought I could do the job. I am very thankful for the chance. I have learned so much in just a week...WOW the medical field is SO different. It is alot of fun though....

Susan great minds must think alike....I just created my food journal tonight and it looks alot like yours. hehe.... Breakfast - yogurt, egg w/ cheese, Cereal, 1 pc of cheese toast lunch - Lunch meat, chicken or tuna salad (made @ home), Boco burger, small salad w/ grilled ck added. dinner - stuffed pepper, quesadilla made w/ low card tortilla, salmon patty, taco salad, Talipha or other fish baked or grilled. This is some of the things I have...I notice more weight loss when I have fish at least once a day. Don't know why but it works for me.

Mine should be out by monday.....

Laaron - Hope it's all ok. Hopefully it's just a leak at the port and it want be to hard to get corrected. I actually just had my port flipped and it was fixed just over a week and half ago. So I can say that surgery wasn't bad actually I was only off for 3 days including the day of surgery. A lady on here had a leak at the port and the band itself. She just recently had the whole thing replaced and is doing good now. So we will pray you will be ok..please keep up posted. (Sorry to hear you have had to relocate because of Katrina. Our chruch family went down to LA and build 3 houses. Hope your new life is now filled w/ love and joy and you are doing ok.) Happy2 - Don't worry about restriction right now. You are still healing. Your doctor will probably give you a fill @ 6 weeks post op...Right now you shouldn't have much restriction....there shouldn't be any fill in your band. Hang in there....it will work the way it's suppose to.

Yes scrubs....if we want and I wore them 3 days this week. It's like wearing PJ's. Gotta love that. Wow moving to CA that is along way. Hope he likes it. You becareful driving back. How far of a drive is that for you? Alright seems like it's getting quite around here again. Hope everyone is doing ok. In case you haven't read Karen's post...she was my first offical insurance package sent. I got it faxed this afternoon for her. How cool will that be she could be my first approval. Alright have a good weekend. Curtis' birthday is Sunday....I think we are going grill out.

Ok since I am off on Monday....I got it to go through. Let's hope all of it went through and I included everything. Oh Karen you were my first one I hope I didn't mess it up...I did have Julie look over it. So it's off and you are just one step closer. :clap2:

You don't need an excuse to go to IHOP....It's a girl thing....there you go tell him a lot of girls are getting together. He will say oh please go!!! haha Well I hope you can make it..You would have a blast....everyone does. And even newbies come back.

Always....we could make a girls weekend of it. There is a lot to do down here.

IHOP is next saturday....But if you can't it's understandable.

His and Hers here...it's working great. I am the same...when it's broken or not working right he is there to fix it for me. I am sorry your DH's don't say anything to you about your weight loss...take a picture and put it side by side. Maybe that will make them see the difference. My DH has been very supportive through this all...I guess I am pretty lucky. Good Luck Ladies!!!!!

Oh come on Teresa...can't you come. Melissa girl bring them girls...they will have a fun time w/ us. Didn't they the last time? Looks like this meeting could be really small. Anyone heard from Dianne? I know she is back from NJ but was she going somewhere else this weekend?
