Well if the mods ever read this. She never paid me for the shipping of the clothes I sent. I didn't want money for the clothes, just the shipping. It was over $40.

Was wondering if you are coming back. Need to know if you picked up the clothes from the PO because they don't have them anymore......I am waiting for you to reimburse me the shipping then. Thanks for understanding.

Scents make me feel sick

excarolinagirl-I've never had general anesthesia before so I never would have thought of that. I will definitely ask my surgeon about it-I have to call tomorrow to schedule a visit for my first fill. Thanks!! -
Scents make me feel sick

Definitely NOT pregnant lol!! :girl_hug: Hubby had a vasectomy after baby #4. I was banded on 08/26/08 and since then I have noticed a lot of weird things like this scent thing. I dont know what it is or what is causing it.....I was that way when I was pregnant but I am 110% sure that is not the issue now. -
There is no certain scent/food, no certain time but sometimes (more often than not) a scent (only scents from food) will make me feel sick-like I am going to vomit. Yesterday for example I opened a can of Dinty Moore Beef Stew and I literally almost vomited from the smell of it. I asked my 14 year old if it smelled bad to her(I thought maybe it was expired) and she said no. That is not the first time that a scent has affected me that way. Am I the only one that experiences this?

Who's Getting Banded in August???
heather113076 replied to Tracyde730's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Shelly~ I keep telling myself that while doing the 6 month diet required by BCBS I lost 53 lbs and that in and of itself was an accomplishment that I am proud of. I just get discouraged when I see people say they got banded 3 weeks ago and have lost 20+ lbs. I try my best to focus on the positive but sometimes I can't. Thanks for letting me know you are experiencing the same thing I am. That helps make me look back at the positives. -

I got banded on Aug 26. My pre-op visit was Aug 20 and my weight that day was 300. I went on a liquid diet for a week and weighed myself at the hospital the day of surgery and my weight was 292. So the day after surgery I weigh myself and I am back at 300!! :w00t: So I figure it is the swelling plus the fact that I havent had my diuretic in 2 days (dr told me to start back on it one week post op). So I have been back on my diuretic for 2 days and my weight is now at 294 :cool2:-still not surgery day weight. WTF?!?!?!! I am only on liquids and not taking in more than 800 calories per day. What gives?!!?!? -

I am now banded! I got my band on 08/26 which was 3 days ahead of schedule. I was down 8 lbs from the mini goal I had set for myself for surgery day so I was excited about that! The only problem I am having is this feeling like I need to burp and can't. I have tried the gas x thin strips and maalox and nothing seems to help. I havent weighed myself yet because the last time I did (Thursday) it was showing me as having gained back that 8 lbs which I attribute to water weight(I had to stop taking my diuretic for a week) and being swollen. I am counting down the days till I can have mushy foods :smile: -
Hi Heather,
I saw your post on the clothing exchange and I think i might have some things for you. I'm just now down a size, and have found that my 24 pants are getting loose. Let me know what you like to wear, and I'll keep an eye out.

Dr. Miles or Dr. Schmitt patients

craz~ I hope everything works out for you before your hubby leaves. Where is he having to go to? I called Neomi 07/10 and told her that I knew she had not yet recvd her copy of my approval letter but told her that I had called BCBS and asked if we could go ahead and get me on the schedule and she said sure. She pulled my chart to verify that I had completed everything necessary and looked at the schedule and the earliest she had was 08/29. Maybe you will get lucky and someone will cancel or something and you can get it all done quicker. -

Craz~ Neoami submitted my paperwork 06/23/08, got the denial immediately(she HAS to submit info online, that is the only way BCBS will allow them to submit so she got the denial immediately). She was then able to fax over all of my documentation the same day. I called BCBS for status update on 07/09/08 and it turns out that was the same day BCBS approved me and sent out letter. I got approval letter on 07/11/08. So it took them 11 BUSINESS days to approve(I didn't count Sat/Sun or July 4). I was told that they can take up to 30 days to approve. When is your hubby leaving? -
