  1. Good luck! It will be sometime in September for me, no date yet, still going to doc appointments this month.
  2. I just wanna go to clearance racks at high end stores for great deals on smaller clothing.!!
  3. Touch left bottom button of your phone if you have a Samsung
  4. Oh and my daughter just got a job at sweet n sassy bakery. Of all the nerve!! I will have to get 2nd job on the weekends to stay away from home. I am sure she will probably want to bring home some goodies for her skinny boyfriend and dad.
  5. Did I mention that I have to work and take off for appointment. These are the 14th to 16th. Then phyc eval and nutri doctor later in month. Gonna be a crazy August
  6. Hope I will be able to get in September, I still have a sleep study to do and that scope they put down your throat .
  7. Do you see your regular doctor often. They always weigh you when you come in. You may be able to go back 6 months to get a record of your weight. I don't know if it will help, just a thought, Good luck hang in there
  8. Saw my regular doc today ,got the blood work done and the letter of support with my weight loss attempts out of the way! More to come.. ..
  9. I have anthem bcbs and they cover all three, lapband, sleeve, and bypass. There is no wait but still have to go to all appointments this month. My manager had the bypass and my supervisor had the sleeve.I am so happy its covered.
  10. Will be sometime in September.I have slot of appointments in August and my insurance requires no wait. I just wish it was now. I could kick myself for not going earlier but there is no stopping me now.
  11. I know this sounds weird but I am terrified if throwing up when I go back to work after I have surgery, which will be in September, I have a lot of appointments lined up in August. If you are sick , would it be right after you have eaten or can you be sick at anytime. I just had dentures in March and the toilets where I work flush automatically and I am worried I will lose my teeth. There are no trash cans because my company has gone green and have hand dryers. Should I bring a throw up bag with me ? Also I am not near the bathroom and don't want to be sick before I can get there .
  12. I bought a couple of tweezes, battery operated, pulls the hair out like tweezing. I love it and couldn't live without it. I have never shaved my face. As seen in TV product bought at bed bath and beyond but don't see it sold anywhere. May still be able to get on website.
  13. I like the sleeve surgery better cause there no rewiring like the bypass. I take Prozac, cholesterol medicine and blood pressure medicine. There are two people at work had the bypass and now look too skinny. One had the extra skin removed and he looks too skinny, I asked him what he ate now since had been a couple of years. He says yogurt and protein bars. This seems to harsh for me. Can I eat more foods then this and still lose weight?
  14. I told doc that I wanted the bypass but now leaning toward the sleeve surgery. I am so afraid that if I lose weight I will gain it back cause I live to eat and eat long after I am full.
