  1. Congrats on loosing 86 pounds! You are very lucky to not have had any stalls until now. I will be 4 months this week and month 3 only had lost 6 pounds for the entire month. The stall will break - I lost so far this month 11 pounds with a week to go. My Dr told me as long as I average ten (10) pounds a month, I am fine. Continue to follow your eating and exercise plan!
  2. Sleeved January 30th and getting more energy everyday. I am down 24 lbs and started soft foods today. Going back to work on the 13th.
  3. I was told by my nutritonist not to eat tomato soup because of the acid.
  4. I was advised to take a pain pill before my appointment and it did help. It does feel weird when they pulled it out but did not hurt.
  5. Mel, how are you doing? Hope all is well!
  6. Mel, hope you are doing well. Call me when you are up to it!
  7. Well, I called in again, and spoke to someone else. My date is January 30th!
  8. Yes I think that is what happened in this case. I look at the positives: able to enjoy the holidays and my trip to Vegas mid Jan. I am sure the time will fly by! Keep me posted on your progress.
  9. Columbus Ohio and Jan 30th @ Mt. Carmel West - Dr. Choban.
  10. January 30th is my surgery date!
  11. Well, I am still waiting on my date! I am getting frustrated again. It took over two weeks from the time I had completed the required steps before my insurance paperwork was turned in for approval. The insurance approved my surgery on Nov 1st and I was told I would have a date last week and to call on Friday if I had not heard anything. So I called on Friday and was told they will call me when they have my date. It is now the12th of Nov. No date and no call! Almost 4 weeks have been wasted. I understand they are busy, but this is ridiculous.
  12. Update! I was approved! Took less than a week! I will find out next week when my date will be!
  13. My paperwork was faxed over to the insurance company for approval. Does anyone have insurance with this insurance company? If so, what is or was your experience for approval? How long did you have to wait for an answer?
