Can you trade with someone a day here or there? "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

I work and have not had that experience... The place I'm using is a bariatric center of excellence... I did take one day off from work but got four insurance requirements done that day... I know not everyone has a job that allows them time to go but maybe if you did first or last appointment you could go in late or leave early... The seminars aren't scheduled at a very good time...

I think the other factor I forgot to mention is how booked up the surgeon is... All my paperwork should be ready within the next few days... The insurance person told me my doctor doesn't have an opening until July 18 or July 28, he's going on vacation.

Think this depends on your insurance... I had a marathon day like that too, it got several things crossed off the insurance checklist but not all of them... I spoke with the insurance coordinator today she said once all the paperwork is in her hand she will submit to insurance... I think they give a dummy date for that purpose...

@ daveo... I totally hear you, I'm in a similar spot myself... At the moment dating for me is on the back burner as I'm pre-op for surgery so I'm not looking for anyone new, just working with the left overs lol...they only thing I would say as advice from a women's point of view is... I get tons of hi messages, some get answered some don't... The messages that usually get my attention is when someone brings up something from my profile like if they say I see you like the beach so do I... I usually respond to that type of message because it shows the guy went beyond looking at the pictures and took the 30 secs extra to read the profile... I also think it's a confidence thing, you sound a defeated right now so that may be coming across the screen... I hope this advice is helping... It's meant to be encouraging, I'm a better talker than writer... Keep us posted "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

@@Daveo I got no hard evidence to prove this other than my gut, I think many of the paid website say we have X amount of member... What they don't say is we have X amount of active members... I'm convinced that when your membership runs out they still keep your profile up just for appearance... That's why when I end my membership I delete all my pictures... This is just my theory based on the following, on a free website like plenty of fish I get a good amount of messages a day... That sounds better than it is as many of the message are not from people that would appeal to me... I have been on a good amounts of dates from plenty of fish... I was on match for three months, got I think a total of 5 messages and 1date... Now I'm not ms.america but that seems to be too much of an extreme difference for there not to be something weird... While all this might sound discouraging before you put the blame on you, consider other things... While I'm looking for men, so I'm not an expert on the women on these sites other than what I hear men say... Not that the pool of men I interact with speak for all men but dinner ***** has been a popular description... Please don't lose faith, a dating break maybe in order... My point was your not getting answers to some messages maybe be simply because that person is not an active member. Maybe this is just the case here in NY.

While I agree it's against the law for her to ask you as the boss, sounds like you two have a friendly rapport as you stated you wanted to tell her but didn't do to your other drama... I feel she was asking as more of your friend and out of concern. Us women always want to know the 411 we can't help it.

I'm in NY and sorry but this is going to be discouraging... I've consulted with 3 well know bariatric surgeon's, first question when I called for an appointment was what's your height/weight... Lennox hill has free seminars run by the surgeon, you maybe be able to attend one just gather information... The entire insurance thing is annoying.

30 minutes on an elliptical is hard... Having worked with trainers in the past they often push you which you want... Yet they need to be mindful of clients level of fitness... Please have a discussion with him about wanting to be pushed balanced with you fitness level... Hope you didn't pay him for the 30 minutes you spent on the elliptical.. I tell the trainer our session don't need to include cardio, don't need a pay a babysitter to watch me do cardio.. I want them to help me with free weights etc...
