Thank you everyone for your advice about the sqweeky wheel. I recieved my acceptance paper in the mail saturday. This morning it has been filled out and sent back with a check for administrative fees. I am begining to feel what it is like to do the insurance dance. I called my insurance to find out if the admin fees are covered. Yes, I dare to dream. However this time I am told a predetermination explaining why it is medically needed and this will be reviewed. The first time I called I was given a very specific list of criteria for the surgery to be approved. This is only the begining for me, it sounds like I need to keep going back until they tell me yes.

Thank You ladies,

Tracy

Thanks so much for the prayers and well wishes! You guys are truely the best :thumbup:. Dr. Miller said he expects me to be home by Friday evening, so I will check in as soon as I can.

DH and I just spent the last hour deep cleaning the kitchen. He has a touch of OCD and HAD to pull out the stove and fridge TODAY to sweep and mop. Oh well, it is helping the time pass.

Everyone have a blessed afternoon.

Has anyone noticed being more tired than they wish? I am trying to get a solid 7 hours of sleep and I just keep wanting more sleep. I have started this week taking some B12 Vitamins to see if that helps with my energy level. It could just be a cumulative effect of stress from work, the funeral and weight loss but I was curious how others are doing on energy level. I see Dr. Miller next week for a checkup and I'm going to mention it to him. I think I'm getting enough Protein in but I'll have to get more diligent again with using my online food tracker. I got off track with that once the personal life turned upside down a couple weeks ago. Thanks.

P.S. I'm praying for you ThinnerMe! Hope you'll be home from the hospital soon. (I think I remember that RNY is about 2.5-3 days in the hospital versus the overnight for lapband).

Okay, I saw this thread for "Hallow-Lean" to give myself a weight loss challenge and I signed up to kick my own butt in gear from Labor Day to Halloween. Anybody else game? Click on the link and add it there.

Special K- are you watching your protien and getting enough? I was always tired after surgery and I had to keep reminding myself to get enough protien in. Also, do you take your Multivitamins everyday? I also take a Vitamin D with the multivitamins that I take. I am defiecient in Vitamin D and that slows you down.

Special K, I am tired all the time. I am almost always napping by 2pm. (sometimes sooner) and in bed by 11pm. I was told it is because of my fibromyalgia flare-up, But, I am waiting to see what my blood has to say. Maybe if you have fibro, the stress could be making you have a small flare-up. just an idea. Hope you start feeling more energetic soon.
