Hi Y'all!

I had to do billing today, so was pretty busy. It is a beautiful day here today, but I am stuck inside.

Rene - I am sure you will get them to change their minds! Sounds like you are on a roll girl! Get er done! :D:D:D

Eileen, I really hope y'all don't have too much flooding. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I sure feel bad for everyone that is going through all this.

Cindy - Hey girl, just smile and you will make it a special day!

Good Morning :D

Wet, sloppy, soggy, rainy morning in Jersey ick! They took more folks out by boat yesterday in Lodi. DH got 18" of Water in his shop so far, hopefully his equipment won't get wet, I mean you can only put things up so high.

Betty thanks for the prayers. I can always use one or two :D Whats shakin with you today?

Nothing much is happening here today, just work. Schools are off today for the Jewish Holiday so it was NICE driving into work. Even though its crapy out, I still dressed up for work today. Got a nice pink top and black slacks on w/my 2 1/2" black suede heels on. You realize wearing shoes like that makes me over 6 feet tall eeeeeeeeehaaaww *cracking whip* :guess thats right, I"m taller most people here and I get to look down at my boss *giggle* Get this...if I stand w/my shoulders back I'm even taller and pointier (who'zzzyer daddy?) .

Okay enuf of being silly.

WHO'S OUT THERE ? WANNA TALK ?

Well, Howdy Y'all!

WE have FOG here, today. In Dallas - fog is a real rarity....

Thank goodness - Thursday is here and we are on the downhill slide to the weekend.

My letter is mostly done, but I am still polishing it up. Edit, Edit, and give it to someone else to re-edit - that is the true secret... I still have to find the hard data on the discrimination part - since that is how I am going to fight the ridiculous Blue Cross restriction of an upper BMI limit. The FDA only specifies a LOWER limit... Sounds like discrimination to me... Anyway, sorry about the obsession with the insurance approval - it's sort of the top thing on my list right now...

Hey, Eileen - any word from your insurance carrier? Your date is fast approaching...

How's by everybody? Check in.

Oh, BTW, I MAY yet go to Burbank - they may need me to go for NEXT week, after all. I'll keep you posted when I find out.

:]

Hey Beanie !!

Burbank COOL Beans !! ummmmm one thing.... did you check your calendar?

(Eileen's ducking incase Beanie is contemplating throwing anything at her) :nervous

No Beanie, I haven't heard from the insurance company. My doctors office called to set up the blood work that "they" do for this saturday. When I asked about the approval aka "pre-determination #" they told me not to worry about it. Well heck !! if my doctor wants to operate w/out a # fully knowing I'm not paying for it... by all means, knock your socks off. I've stopped worrying about it. Although all this worrying is keeping me from gaining weight LOL. I got on the docts scale and I'm the same weight... I've been eating like a pig b/c of my nerves. Maybe I should keep worrying LOL. Anyway, to answer your question, NO, I haven't heard from them.

I'm going to call the insurance company right now... I'll let you know.

Good Morning, errrrrrrrr afternoon to y'all! lol

I guess the time got away from me! I went walking this morning, then came home and went shopping. I just got home and put things away, (I hate putting it away, just love buying it) and of course had to run in here and check the computer. lol I had every intention of going to the farmer's market this morning, but I got home too late. Bummer!

Eileen - I will keep my fingers crossed that you DH doesn't get any more Water in there. Are you expecting much more rain? I'll send you some of this sunshine we are having right now so get ready for it! :D

So, what did the insurance company say? I hope it is good news!

Rene - You will have to post that letter and let us see how you tell them off! :D I bet it is a good one! :D

Well, off to get the rest of my stuff done, or at least started!

Catch y'all later!

Happy Afternoon :D

Betty, I love shopping, just as long as it isn't the grocery store... imagine that LOL

Hope you got some good deals. I hate carrying it in the house and putting it away too. I get po'd when DH isn't around to help LOLOL. I love farmers markets, pick me up some sweet taters and zucchini please !!! YUMMM

The rain just now stopped. But there is more to come, they say rain until Saturday morning eeeeeeeek !

I did call the insurance company and they were nice, they said they did receive all my stuff from the surgeon but the "review" people haven't put anything in the file yet. The rep told me to call on Tuesday. I said sure, no problem but please understand that my surgery is in 11 days. I need time for disability paperwork and my employer's paper work. I said if I don't get this stuff in on time, I'm screwed. She said she would put a rush on it. You can bet your sweet patooties I'm calling Tuesday :D

Thanks for the "good luck" Betty :D

Beanie, I can't wait to see your masterpiece. Let me know if my pea brain can help you.

1 1/2 hrs to go and I'm out like kraut (work that is).

Weekend is almost HERE ! WHOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

OK, enough with the rain... this is getting out of hand here.

What's everyone doing this weekend? I have to work, but tomorrow after I am done at the doctor, we are going to costco, which is almost as fun as Walmart as long as we keep an eye on the impulse purchases.

Betty Boop did you get your grocerys put away yet LOL.

Well, lets see. I got a good radio station on today at work b/c the lady who is in my office is out today...so we is a rockin AND its casual day, need I say I feel GOOD!

This weekend mmmmmmmmmm... its really to soggy and wet to do anything outdoor so thats out. Tomorrow is blood work at the hospital, 7:55 am for crying out loud, then its home for some major cleaning and tayloring of my DH's pants, DD too.... (short people always giving me work sheesh LOL jk). Sunday is church and more cleaning, cooking for the week. Nothing exciting folks.

How about you ?

Did I mention that today is FRIDAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:):D :D

Oh yeah - Friday. The very coolest day, ever!

On my agenda today - (I bet you could guess!) I will be following up with our friends at Blue Cross to confirm their receipt of my appeal letter. (24 point bold face font asking them to call me to confirm receipt must have been too subtle).

Other than that - not so much. I figure eventually, I will have to actually work for my pay, but for right now, I am coasting... Really, it's very boring. I would rather work. Thank goodness for LBT or I would have certainly lost what little mind I have left by now.

This weekend is the usual blank slate. Even less exciting than a trip to costco... I will be doing some laundry - just on the off chance that I get called in as emergency support for the Due Diligence review in Burbank - but that is pretty unlikely.

DH has been doing yard work with the (Finally!) cool weather, and we bought some plants to add color to the front walk - so I imaging he will actually expect me to put them into the ground. That will be fun. I like to play in the dirt every so often.

Otherwise, it will be old movies and hanging out with the DH.

Everybody have a great one!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
