GFG Club - Guess Funny's Apron Weight

[the best me 6]

And I am scared I won't be able to figure out the last $1k. I have a week. Something will come to me. I am just praying really hard about it. It will happen.

Yes, and I can't wait to see exactly how it works out...it WILL be miraculous!

Amy's getting banded...Amy's getting banded!!!!

God comes through again!! LOL

alma, the patient care coordinator, got me set up on a payment plan for $1500 of the cost. This allows us to have some emergency money while we are there. It is through a company called DocPay, and it is intrest free. She said they usually need a lot of time to get it set up, but they are pushing it through priority.

I'M GETTING BANDED!!! OH MY GOD!!!

Amy - I'm brainstorming, here... Can you get counter checks (temporary) from your bank and then write someone a post-dated check? Can you get an advance on a credit card? Can you sell any stock you might have? Can you hock anything that you really don't need? Can you put up some quick auctions on E-bay? Delay your housenote/rent a few days? Have you husband mow 50 lawns (I guess that would be hard to do in one week...)? If you could get to Houston I'd pay you to do my laundry! Laundry is evil and I hate it...of course I don't know that my husband would be in on that idea!

Any more ideas to help out Amy, anyone?

Edited to add: I guess it's taken care of now! Yay!

Woo hoo Amy!! I'm so happy that you've figured out that last detail.

I think I was going over all of these ideas myself. LOL Thankfully I don't have to do anyone's laundry. HA! And I think the band gives me a "get out of laundry free" card for a few weeks hehehe. Is it wrong for me to milk it a little bit?

Congrats on your upcoming banding Amy. I've paid really close attention to all your posts because I have a large apron too. I'm just going to have to deal with that at the end of my journey.

I think that it's great that you are getting banded first..and I think it's safer for you.

Do you have to do a pre op diet or are you going to just keep doing the Sacred Heart Diet?

Thank God the financial stuff is taken care of....and good luck with your surgery!

Drat, I guess I'll have to suck it up and do my own laundry. Sigh. I wish I had a get out of laundry free card. That's the first thing I'd do if I won the lottery - hire a "laundress" and full-time maid. I'd be a terrific lottery winner...

Momo the worst is when you actually take the laundry to a service and they bill you by the pound. Man you can get addicted to that quickly!!

Time2Live thanks for the well wishes and the thoughts on my surgery. I am going to stick to the sacred heart diet till we get to Mexico. Then I am going to have some fun with Mexican food and a few drinks. Lots of chips. some really spicy burritos. YUM!

[LapBandit 5]

GOOD LUCK!!! I'm really happy for you and I know things will all work out in the end!

I'm so happy you are getting the band sooner and have gotten everything straightened out. I think you are going to do some amazing things with the band. You have already done wonderful without it! Good luck with everything.

Funny! WTF are you talking about? You lose all that weight, having weight loss surgery but you still want to drink ....eat all that sh**t?

I just don't get it.

[FunnyDuddies 6]

It was going to be a last supper. LOL But I will be drinking, maybe no burrito. ok...maybe three or four chips. LOL

Oh just leave me alone telly. you can beat me later. LOL Love ya girl!

[EmileeKaye 1]

Come on Telly, you didn't have a last supper? I think I had a couple.....:confused:

[FunnyDuddies 6]

Starting the liquid diet today (monday) and we'll see how I do with it. I may or may not have the last supper. Depends on how angry the little telly in my head is with me. LOL You are such great support girl! You keep me going back to that #$(%^#(^# eliptical machine. HA! When are we hiting the outlet malls girl? We have to go shopping for next summer's bathing suits!!

I have 2 months of work to try and squeeze into two weeks of time, so I will not be around as much, but I will be checking into the GFG club regularly to update my score card and let you all know how nervous I am before getting banded. Pnut has my phone number, and I will be letting her know how the surgery went. Happy skinny hugs to all.

LOL, *CLOSES HER EYES*

no, i had chicken consomme broth, ask Sassy Sissy, she's subscribed on here and she had her band when i did by the same doc, we had dinner 3 nights tthere together, chicken broth, and the 2nd night we had 3 sips and couldn't drink any more.

No chips or anything the day before
