:banana I'm hot because UHC said they just got my paperwork March 1st! The drs. office said they would send it on February 21st. I know PO box mail doesn't take two weeks.

I'm on the treadmill, pre-op doing 3 miles. I love it! The breathing, sweat rolling, I'm going to do a few 5ks this year. Thanks for the links as well.

How can I change the name of my journal?:help:

Why was I told they would submit my paperwork to UHC on February the 21st and UHC told me yesterday they just received it on March 1st! I'm very disappointed. I don't mind being patient however, I don't like being lied to. Your word is your bond. Sometimes that's all you have. If I can't trust you to do as you say, then I just don't. I've cooled off since I found out yesterday my case worker lied to me, but that need to be her last slip up!

I just found out this was the proper department for status. Did anyone mention that before? Anyway the # is 800-638-7204. The computers are down for the next 2 hours so contact them this afternoon. They were unable to assist me at this time because of the computers.:faint:

I ran to the mail box this morning thinking that certainly there would be a letter there from United Health Care to no avail. I would hope tha tI should be ready to schedule for surgery sometime in April. Now I truly know how everyone talks about the waiting game. I wonder sometimes what will me reaction be. Will I be excited or nervous, relived or frightened. I just don't know. But I do know I and so ready to at least have that portion taken care of. I would say change my life but I feel that moment happened the day I decided to take make my lifestyle changes. I have added supplements to my everyday life, I have began exercising and have improved my grocery list. I'm so proud of where I am.

Court4short: This is what I found: The National Institutes of Health has established minimum requirements for deciding whether bariatric surgery is the right treatment option: 100 pounds or more above ideal body weight or a BMI of 40 or greater3 BMI of 35 or greater with one or more obesity-related health condition3

What type of bacon do you recommend? Glad you are feeling better!

You go girl!

Congratulations!

I understand. Thank you.

What happened?

I'm sorry I meant AFTER.:biggrin1:

I don't have a date yet, however, I planned on a Thursday date and returning to work on the next Monday. I am preparing for a good recovery by doing right by my body before surgery. If something is to go wrong it was beyond my control. I've had four c-sections so I'm familiar with the aftermath. I also plan to have colonics a couple of days before to CLEAN OUT so I won't have so much of the gas, and upper digestive problems. I will take a week off after surgery to be at home to work on the adjustment that are needed in my home for this new lifestyle. House cleaning, cabinet cleaning, pantry, etc. start a garden so that I can have fresh vegetables to eat (which is also good outdoor excerise for the next 6 months) and getting my family on a schedule and working on my daily planning.

First of all, hello and welcome to LBT. As far as your BMI, if there is proper documentation of your health problem you should be a sure in.

Congratulations on your band and welcome!

I had these test performed yesterday at Methodist. Wasn't as bad as I thought. Reality sets in now. How I want ot change my life. If I can be who I am 38 years, I can change for another 38 making 72? Did that make since? Anywho, I'm waiting on UHC and the results of those test. Patience is a virtue. It will be two weeks Monday. I'm finding inner peace with excercise and attempting to learnn yoga. I would like to get down to a comfortable size 155-175. I won't complain, I truly feel it will be a blessing if I'm approved and I must use this for what it actually is a tool to a new me. I'm learning to love me. If I don't who will?

I said a prayer for you this morning thinking of you. You will be fine. Take God in there with you!

OMG Sheila you look wonderful! Simply devine! That is so motivational.

I have some stored on my "post -op" shelf. I was attempting to wait and drink it after banding.
