  1. I am thinking at least my surgery will not be at finals. Candaceshenea, I can't even imagine having the surgery and then worrying about finals. I would have been a hot mess! Thank you for the encouragement though. I know whatever happens, I will work through it.
  2. Oh wow, that is a NSV I really want to have. Congrats, it is the little things sometimes that makes this forum so awesome to keep coming back to.
  3. You can do this. I know you are going through a rough time right now, but you will find your way. Do not give up a healthier you. I am so sorry this happened to you now, but everyone here will support you through this if the surgery is what you want. Do not give up hope.
  4. Welcome, you definitely are not alone on this forum at any stage you are at in your journey. If you need any help or have questions please don't be afraid to ask their are so many wonderful people here to help.
  5. The ladies above have definitely hit the major points, and you seem to know what is required of you and double checking to make sure with insurance. Definitely, make sure that you are recording everything with your PCP and everything is in your notes. Keep track and make copies. I am in month 3 of my 6 monthly supervised visits, and I have already met with a psychologist for my psychological evaluation. I hope to have everything ready to be submitted on August 12th with my last PCP visit.
  6. If my surgery doesn't happen on my ideal date, I would tell my manager something like that if anything at all. There isn't much more anyone, with exception of my family, will know.
  7. Wow, that is amazing, and such a great view. I can't even imagine how accomplished you feel. Congrats on your NSV.
  8. I loved reading this. It kept my attention the whole way through. I am glad your surgery went well, and I hope you have a quick recovery.
  9. I love EAS French Vanilla and Atkin's French Vanilla RTD shakes, but the EAS can have a slight after taste if not shaken well, and the Atkin's can come out a little chunky.
  10. That is awesome! I would be bursting with giddiness. Congrats on the great news, I hope you hear something soon.
  11. I love it! Congrats! Keep it up and you will be at goal before you know it!
  12. That is a great idea! Wow, you have given me something to focus my energies on just incase. When are you submitting to your insurance?
  13. Wow, that insane. What has insurance come to?
  14. Hey, at least you spit it out. That it can kill you is definitely a wake up call. it isn't too far away until you can eat what you want. Good luck!
  15. I am so excited for you two! Work that sleeve and take care!
  16. Woohoo! That is such an awesome milestone, no stopping til goal!

  18. Wow, that is a good question with some quite good responses. I think I will save this post and add some questions to my list for my surgeon.
