Hello - a newbie from MD - intro and a ?

I finally got my insurance approval today. I had a little bit of an ordeal. I started the process in July and found out 2 1/2 weeks later that nothing would be sent to my insurance co until Pysch eval. which I had been trying to get worked out through my mental health insurance. Made the mistake of going to a person who does not specialize in this and she took 3 appts and still did not have the eval filled out. I ended up getting an appt with someone else. Got that to my surgeon's asst. 3 1/2 weeks ago. She told me insurance could take 30 days to approve. I called her thurs - which was 3 weeks out from when it was supposed to go to the insurance co. She told me she did not have an answer. I called my insurance to find out where it was in the process. They did not have anything. UGH - And they told me it only takes them 2 days. I called surgeon's asst back on fri. She lied to me, but it did get her butt in gear to fax the auth. request to the insurance co. By fri. afternoon I knew they had it. I called them this afternoon - it was approved - of course she had sent it in for Bypass - but I figure if bypass got approved, banding will. So, now I am trying to figure out my surgery date so my question

Honestly - as a 38 yrs woman - would I be ready one week latter to do a Pampered Chef show? That's what I do and I already have a show scheduled for one week after a potential surgery date. I could wait one week, but we have a big national meeting on the next date. Oh yea,

how do you get the little wieght trackers on your siggys?

In regard to your first question I would have to tell you that everyone is different. For me I was up cleaning and at my sons soccergame the next day. Shopping too but not for too long though. One thing you will not be able to do is bend over. I personally have never been to a Pampered Chef event so I do not know what they do but I would say there will be little to no bending.

As for the weightloss tickers just click on mine it will take you to the website follow the directions and to put it on there just use the bbcode for bulletins. Good luck.
