Hey Amsderb,

How long from the time you were approved until your surgery? I had to wait 10 weeks.

[MSG's_SGM 0]

Thank you for the warm welcome. I am sure this will give me lots of time to watch how the pros are doing before my big day.

It took about a month with UHC...my plan had just changed to include banding so my HR person gave me a "contact" person at UHC...so it wouldn't accidentally be denied...anyway, she said later she thought because she was involved it actually took a little longer..LOL...but all in all, it wasn't so bad...I was just going crazy waiting!

Good Luck to you!

By the way... the BEST TASTING Protein Shakes are the SAFEWAY brand.... they come in chocolate and vanilla and are BY FAR better tasting than the Atkins ones... YUCK.... I actually prefer drinking the SAFEWAY ones over even other drinks in general, they are very good.

Just thought I would let you know.... if you have SAFEWAY stores in your area.

soon to be banded 5/27/08

I've never heard of this store before, I figured it was like a GNC type store, I didn't know it was a supermarket, apparently they are mostly west coast based and don't have any stores over here in New England :huh2: I was really interested! I've never tried a Protein Shake I liked :thumbs_down: although I've only tried a few.

Type in "Safeway" online and look for the grocery link, i don't know, maybe you can order them online, I haven't tried, but worth a short, they are far superior, but that's my opinion, I have tried all the ones available over the past 5 years.

Great ideas...Hey Bandfan1 how's the trip going?

I can't wait to not get the seatbelt extender on an airplane

I can't wait to not worry that if we are sat in a booth, I'll have to squeeze in and hold my breath...

I can't wait for kids at school not to say, "Oh she's the fat teacher!"

OR I can't wait for the little kids to not ask me when the baby is coming!

And all the other can't waits!

Hey there Amsderb and friends!! My trip is going well. It was a little cool here today in Florida, but we all got too much sun yesterday so it was a blessing. We were supposed to take a ferry to Key West today, but it was cancelled due to high winds.... Again, a blessing!! We will take the trip on Thursday. It is just me and my 2 girls (7 & 14)..my husband and 16 yr old son are home working... It's a nice bonding trip for us!!!

I bought lots of fresh veggies and fruit to eat, but am still cheating a little bit. I will get very serious when I return on the 21st. It will be 10 days before surgery, so I will really buckle down!!!!!

I'll only have a computer here until tomorrow afternoon. After that, I'll have to wait til the 21st to post...

In the meantime, stay well everyone!!!

[Allison 2]
