omg i been on my liquid diet for about 10 days and i lost 15 lbs i been very very motivated because i know my surgery date is coming up. well the problem that i am face with and that could have prevented is this: i had blood work done by doctor's brathwait office about a month ago and my blood clotting was a little slow, then i had another test 1 week later at my PCP office and it was normal, 2 weeks later i had another test for my pre admission and my clotting was slow again here are the results, (recent blood work) PTT: 39.6 NORM: 27.0-36.0 INR: 1.23 NORM: 0.9-1.2 now this is what get me furious:mad: (i did not get clearance for my surgery 4/12) My surgeon doct wife (who works there) called me and told me about her concern about my clotting time that it was a little bit slow, so she wanted to speak to my PCP to ask her if i should go to a hematologist because she can schedule me in right away so i gave her my PCP number. my surgeon wife called me back and discussed with my PCP about my clotting time and my PCP said "its not that high and she has no other problem and is in relatively in healthy shape" so my the surgeon wife did not plan my the hematologist apt because as stated above my PCP said i did not need it :thumbup: WELL today was my clearance appointment and my PCP now does not want to clear me and need me to get clear by a hematologist :wub:. i was sooooo mad she was told about the same results before and she told my surgeon wife that it wasn't needed so now i have to go to a hematologist app on the day that was suppose to be a life changing experience.. I'm not mad at the fact that i have to go to the hematologist i am mad at the fact that i could have went ahead of tI'me and still been able to have the surgery. but im looking at my clotting time and there are not that far from the normal ranges so it doesn't look like it can be bad enough to not clear me. ugh i don't know..... just soooooo mad right now :biggrin::cursing::smile::cursing:

I went to a clothing exchange, I have not had the surgery yet but I am schdule for lapbad surgey in march, so anyway I went there to give my older clothes way that I can not fit and do no want even when I do lose my weight. So I go there and it was like you know a big group and people just talking about their weight loss and other things, so we sit in group and began putting our stuff out and sharing and people taking want they want and then I hear these 3 ladies saying wow she thinks to good to take our clothing and they kept saying it to other people but here I am with 5 big big bags of clothing half still have tags, I'm like what is the problem I'm just here to help I don't need to get clothes from here I have not had the surgery yet and when I do get it I will be buying my new items, And they kept saying oh you think you to good for this you just think we are charity cases, you come here with your flashy car (ugh just a nissan lol) just to look down on us, that car is probally your parents anyways. (No asshole brought it fully no lease no finance) So I'm like wait a second lady I'm sharing these items with y'all and most of my items cost 100$ and above and I'm giving it away your little posse are the only one with a problem, this stuff is not gap or old navy items, walmart, target clothing, these items you have to special order or go to saks or berdoff goodman, and macys so on and so fourth. I don't want anyone else clothes I have been blessed to have a family that are very well off, I have a great designer position, and a fiance with a great bussiness, that I don't need to come here and look for clothing, I'm not knocking it but why can't I just help with out having to put my hand in the pot. (This is why all these big bussiness are going down) I think she was just upset because her weight lost stalled she only lost 30lbs(post/pre) and its been 6months. But I do not believe I was being snobby or looking down on people I just wanted to give my clothes to people going through the same things I'm going through. I know if I would have taken it to salvation army they would have taken a lot of those items and not even give to the people that need it. I had a pair of jeans that cost me 200$ I never wore it and it still had the tags on it,(one of the ladies that was saying stuff took that and when I was walking out said sorry and thanks) I just wanted someone else to have these items who had/having wls But everyone else there were very happy with it and the other people told me those particular ladies are just mean ladies and don't pay it no mind. I don't think I'm too good for the exchange but I do not want to lose my weight and settle on other people clothing?

I work for the state and I have empire bcbs ppo so does that mean my insurance is government insurance?

Sorry for some misspelled words people just typing fast on a subway squish between people who are morally oppose to a shower

I heard on the news of Toyota's recalls and now i am hearing alot of people talking bad about Toyota. Its going to be their big down fall :huh2:UHHHHH helloooooo every car has recalls on it some bad and some really bad and some that might not even seem important. Toyota makes great cars just because they had a recall everyone want to try to say how bad they are and some people are even saying to buy a FORD My parents always brought me and them self TOYOTAS and they ran great, even my grandmother's 1980 Toyota is still running. I never seen a 1980 FORD still running. In 2007 i was brought a new Camry and i loved it but then i wanted to get a FORD vehicle, even though all my friends had problems with them: but i was thinking well now they might have better people and machinery working on their cars since they receive their welfare checks. So I brought a 2009 FORD FLEX and that was the worst 6 months of my life. A Month after getting my car the heat stop working, i got that fixed 2 Months later I happened to look at my odometer and i was just in shock to see that in two months i drove 35,000 miles and i brought the flex with only 1000 miles on it so had to get that fix, 3 Months later my starter went, and brake lights blew out. Luckily I brought the flex with cash so i was able to sell it without having to bring it back to the dealer or deal with a bank. Even though i had to sell it 4000$ less then what i paid on it oh well, I learned a 4000$ lesson and will go back to cars with GREAT reviews. So that was my first hand experience with FORDS and it just disgust me that FORD is trying to ruin TOYOTA and harping on toyotas recalls. When FORDS have their very own problems. FOUND ON ROAD DEAD FIX OR REPAIR DAILY so now i still stand my ground that FORDS suck and mostly all American cars. Those particular car makers shouldn't be talked so highly of just because Toyota has recalls. And what makes me tickle is that i hear idiots saying wow I'm not getting a Toyota because they are sooo bad, I'm getting a LEXUS Cmon man REALLY REALLY REALLY! Every call model have a recall on it but the only reason why this was so publicize was because it was Toyota and no other car maker can compete with them. Click on the link and put in your car make model or your VIN to get full details of any recalls on your car. And when you see the recalls look on TV and see if its on the news. I'm not saying all car makers are perfect right not i have a 2010 Nissan maxima and thats pretty new and i have two recalls on it right now nothing major but there is recalls. CHECK YOUR VEHICLE RECALLS http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/recalls/recallsearch.cfm The cars I trust are NISSAN, TOYOTA AND HONDA and their sister company LEXUS, ACURA and INFINITI. By the way, none of these car makers above received any welfare checks :thumbup: :tt2:And people please understand what a rant and fave forum is, I met one lady well actually two ladies that were offended in a rants and rave forum if you cant handle some disagreeing with your opionion you need not to have one in this forum.

I bet where your @ is going to get even more illegals now since their earthquake yikes lol Yup all illegals know great running cars like all the illegal spanish people in in my town they all drive beat up old honda, toyotas they can be bog down with cars that going to break down they need a car that can outstand the weight of 10 people in a car lol and so far I see honda wins that over here. Hey I never had any problems with them toyotas so they have my devotions. My fiance and I argue about my car he wanted me to get another ford truck and I completly refuse and now he brought a ford truck so he loves their truck but for the past couple of days I see him and his guy friends keep looking @ it looking under the hood and when I ask what's up he say oh we are just amazed with this truck but I know something is wrong with it but when you have strong devotion to something you can't see anything wrong with it so oh well lol You have you "logic" and I have mines

If proven a point or trying to prove is an arguement then I guess I argue everyday lol U had great points Well bye bye have a great day buddy

My bad I relize that the next day.. I wouldn't mind American cars if it wasn't such a headache, I don't have time always running back to the dealership to have it repair or have a leak fix so on and so fourth. If they had something stating that for the next ten years we fix all problems free of charge (no including recalls, its already free) then I might. Like right now I like that 2011 Buick lacrosse but I can't bring my self to buy it even though I know any brand new car will be good, but when I buy a car I buy it outright so I can be stuck with a car that is going to give me problems after 3 4 yrs . So I just stick with my maxima and call it a day

Like I said I do not like ford due to own problems I experience with a brand new one. I THINk toyotas are great cars do I drive one no I stick with nissan like they pay my bills lol I see old running toyotas just running with no problems how man old "hyundi" you still see chugging along none. Toyota great car maker end of story NEXT

For one thing buddy if you look at the first post I made (since I started this thread) you will see why I don't like ford and a second you need to reread, where did I said ford made toyota go to india? Lol did I offend. your little interpation is way off.

I still think toyota is the best car maker but they f'd up big time letting india build their cars they should have never touch what wasn't broken, every car is great when brand new (not ford) but its when you hit that 2,3 yr mark when american cars goes down hill. American car maker no longer have that pride to make great cars anymore, they need the economy to keep moving so they make these bullshyt cars and push push push the leasing option on you, so you can be stuck with he for 3yrs and then bring it back for another one cause now its breaking down. To me leasing its just like your throwing your money away, why is so hard to push financing on someone then a lease, or why even push hard the leasing option, Some cars when your lease is up you already paid 6000$ and now what well now you still need a car and after 6000$ paid you don't have car now you got to lease another car and do it all over again Hydaui is good brand new but never used

well i guess i was wrong lol:blush:

I'm like the only one in my family that don't mind to give my clothing away and what's sad about it that I can't even tell certain people in my fam about this cause they were against it saying " just go to the tailor and let them take the seams out) but I rather just save money and give them away, so they are going to be like I told you people are going to be ungreatful, but oh well

Yeah girl I know, if I couldn't afford it either I will be right there trying to get some help and be greatful but I just think they didn't need clothing they just wanted new clothes or they had personal problems they going through idk but I'm not going to let me get upset I'm just aggravated at her gaul to try to put me down and we r both going through the same experice of wls
