~TPG, what a mess! And no judgement on the Medicaid thing. You do what YOU need to do for YOU! I'm sorry you're so frustrated too! And rant away! CRAZY with the paperwork! Yikes!

~Night Slim! Oh and that Jambalaya was SO GOOD!!!! DH said we are making that one again! THANK YOU!!!

~Kristen, flu shot clinic IS early! WOW! Best wishes for DD's surgery tomorrow. WOW! on the dinner thing!

~Off to bed. I'm tired! Night all!

Wow, and just think -- we may ALL get handled that way if you-know-who gets his way. :blushing:
It's funny, you know, but the more I read in this site about the troubles that US citizens have with their complicated insurance system and Medicaid, etc, the more I think you guys really NEED a universal health care system.

Our system isn't perfect by any means, but ask any Aussie about how difficult or easy it was to get the band, either privately or through the public system, and I'll bet most of them would say it was a walk in the park compared to the stories from our US counterparts.

And they have an online blog: xxxxxxxx. There's also a latex allergy questionnaire. I'm really frightened of that one. (Plain, I'll expect a comment here)

I am soooo not amused. Crap and double crap. If I'm a really good girl, I may even get to do a 6-month diet. Wow, and to think, if all had gone the other way, I'd be celebrating my 1 week bandiversary tomorrow.

Life's funny, ain't it? :blushing:

Seriously? How demeaning!!!

Life's funny, ain't it? :blushing:

Sooo sorry. Life does throw you little twists every now and then, huh? It will get better.

Hey, I waited 5 years to get mine...not for the same issues. I was dating a semi-jerk and he was against it and I was sooo eager to make him happy. I didn't do it....when I finally left him (and VA) I looked into it and had it done.

It'll come, and you'll get there!

And they have an online blog: Keep Your Chins Up.

I hope you're sh*tting me. That's the name of their blog?!? That's pretty offensive to me and I may be the least PC person here (Ok, so the least PC person is Beth :blushing:). Other considered titles for their blog:

Barely Human

There's Still Hope, Fat Ass

OMG look @ U

I like the second one...

Maybe refer the makers of that blog to the Yo Momma thread.

Really...that's HORRIBLE. This is the government, right? The medicaid folks?

Wow. Just wow!!

Maybe it should be named something to convey a sense of urgency, like Time's Running Out.

What we need are tort reforms, and other major tweaks to the existing system -- NOT to scrap it.

Anyway, sorry y'all... didn't mean to get politics going in here. :blushing:

Or the flip-side... Why bother?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
