  1. I thought i was the only one who smelled bad under my breasts... and I wash really well too!! I also hate that its almost constantly hot and humid in the crotch of my pants, I absolutly hate that smell. it happens so quickly after I bathe! I've never told anyone that! I sweat like crazy too. I feel like Im this big sweaty unsexy lady all the time. I can't wait for it to change!!!!!! Thank you soooo much for posting. I feel SO much better that Im not the only one!!!
  2. Jimmy, you're in my prayers.
  3. Hi! I just joined yesterday. Great news about your surgery date. Hang in there with the move!
  4. Hi Lissa! I've done my research! A lot gleaned message boards. I figure knowledge is power. I want this insurance process to be as smooth as possible! As for the 'sane' thing- i was ist kidding. I figure everyone is a little bit crazy in their own way. I did think that psych exam had some very strange questions on it! And Not just the obvious ones.
  5. Ms V and Amytug- I think that for the most part, UH is trying to see who can hang on long enough to keep at it for six months. Kinda weeding people out. Just making you jump through hoops, so people will give up. Not me! Amy, I can lose weight too- and like you, I can't keep it off! I have a nurse that works for UH that told me, " if you lose weight during the six month diet, it won't be counted against you. The first weigh-in that the Dr. Takes is the weight we base our decision on. But- I wouldn't gain any weight while on it. "So, I plan on losing about 25-30 lbs. my Dr. Said he jus needs 10-15 to shrink my liver, and he's happy. Some companies that use UH don't require the 6 month supervised diet. Some only 3 months. Some nothing at all. Depends on your employer. If you're unsure as to what your protocol is, call your insurance and grill them for specifics. hope I helped! Hope that answers your questions.
  6. Hello all! I've been lurking around the boards for a couple of weeks, and now that I've been cleared by the stress test, and deemed 'sane' by the psych eval, ( lol) I'm into month 5 of my 6 month supervised diet. ( united healthcare) I'm so glad that this app is around. I must be on it a couple times a day! Looking forward to getting to know guys. Keri
