BgEB--- be safe on your journey to the hospital tomorrow. I will pray you through your surgery. I wish speedy healing and uneventful recovery for you. Dont forget your comfort items and post here when you feel up to it. Ill post again for you in the morning. Sleep well and best of luck!!!!!!!

Thanks darla. I hope soo too:-(

I am in richmond va. I have complained to her supervisor about the first incident. Granted the last time i spoke with her was on tuesday about scheduling, but of course i was put in the "holding pattern" and told to wait for her phone call.

Thats just the thing Darla, (which i failed to mention in my original post, I am still waiting on her to call me with a surgery date. The last time I spoke to the surgeon, he advised that he was scheduling a month out. That was on 11/21. The closer I get to the end of the year, the longer that date gets pushed back. Now don't get me wrong, I am in no rush to have the surgery as the weight did not come on over night, but I am one who likes to have my house in order before major events and she is really pushing the envelope on that.

Oh I have seen the EMMi application and yes it was very informative. Best of luck to you!

Congrats on your awesome weight loss! Keep up the great work! How are you feeling these days?

Glad you and mom are doing well get some rest and congrats!

Is to know my surgery date that hopefully is in Jan 2013!!

@Perez, I am having my surgery at the VCU Medical Center here in Richmond, VA. Hopefully the coordinator will call me back today and I will know my date for sure! :-).. Will keep you posted @Fearless-- Welcome Welcome Welcome.. Aetna has been good to me and hopefully to Perez and you as well. What steps are you following in your 3 month. I can tell you my was very vague but I added to it on my own and I believe it is what helped me get approved!... Keep in touch

@diva-- I am glad you are o.k. and doing well. Get well and talk to you soon!

Thank you for the prayers and welcome to the forum? Are you on your way to being sleeved or have you had the surgery already? Keep in touch~!

Not when, where? Lol

Well keep it moving. If you are familiar with Leslie Sansone, she has some awesome DVD's where you "walk" in the house. Some of them are 3 and 4 miles long and trust me, they give you a great workout. I purchased mine from a friend but amazon and walmart sell them. Keep up the good work and once I have my surgery I will be sure to look for you for some inspiration!

Is there anyone else who is scheduled for surgery this week!? Please let us know... @ Mandy, I will have a big banner waiting on your here on Monday!!!!! Lol... get ready!

@diva-- I hope that you made it out safely. Please post and let us know that you are o.k.

Oh my Goodness.. I am soo sorry that you are going through this rough Time. I do pray that everything works out for the better. There are those unfortunate risks that we all have decided to "make peace with" and pray that they do not rear their ugly heads.... You are in my prayers.

GO GO GO DEE DEE!!!!!! Feeling fantastic today! I am soo happy for you and keep up the good work!

This is really good information. Fortunately of all the protein shakes that I have made, I have never had foaming. Probably because my shakes are thick, but even when they were thin, I did not have this problem. I use a small personal blender that I purchased for 20 dollars at Walmart (it mimics the bullet). It came with several different containers and 2 different blade sizes. I have personally found that blender bottles do not mix the protein powder that well as I have shaken the bottle "like a polaroid picture" and still had bits and pieces of the powder that did not dissolve. I think most of the time in this area it is a too each their own type of approach.. Lol.. Good luck with finding what works for you...

I should hear back by the end of the week regarding my surgery date. I am 5ft 3in and 287lbs! Lol. A lot on a short frame. I should have started eons ago! But it is what it is.. my bmi is high compared to others (50-51). Just let me know when u r ready. I have about 120 to 140lbs to lose. Where are you being sleeved?
