  1. Sending you the most positive thoughts, Relax though, sounds like you sent them everything they want. So don't worry. You will get the call I got yesterday saying you are approved. I believe that 1oo% Them asking for additional paperwork means they are seriously considering it just needed a bit more, and since you had it, you will be fine. Same thing happened to me. Sent everything in, they wanted more info, sent that back in and a week and a half later I was approved. Hopefully yours will be faster. Again positive thoughts and big hugs.
  2. Glad you are doing so well. Sending positive thoughts that things just keep getting better every day.
  3. Now that is really a positive for the ego. SO glad you get to experience these things. Health and able to play soccer. I am impressed and inspired. Have a glorious day. And don't be surprised if you get more and more of this positive attention. People are going to notice. And you deserve it.
  4. Wishing you a quick and easy recovery. Let us know how you are doing as soon as you feel up to it.
  5. you might try a body pillow and kinda lay on it half on your side and half on your stomach. This may give you the comfy support you need for your belly and side. I am a side sleeper but often find myself sleepig kinda half way with the use of the body pillow.
  6. so glad your doing better and seems there is a plan in place to get you back to good health. Continued prayers for a full recovery and for comfort and strength.
  7. Jen I do feel like half the battle is won. And now it is my turn to be in control. I am looking forward to this so much.
  8. I umderstand all your fears. And you are going to go through a bunch of different feelings. But you kmow deep down that this is the best gift you can give your children and husband. You are not being selfish. Being selfish would be to continue down the road you are on and maybe have the same problems as your mom. So just take it one day at a time and let the different emotions come and go. Stay busy. Do something fun with your children. And just believe in yourself.
  9. now that is great. See it is the little things that bring us such great pleasure. Just one more NSV that you will get to do. Funny how they nearly beg for your business.
  10. me too Indianapolis where are you?

  12. Getting the call today that I was approved has made me so happy that I can handle a short wait to find out when. I just am so happy to be waiting for when not if, or not more paperwork or more hoops. I hope your phone rings really soon. Do have a good weekend. Monday seems like it should be a good phone call day, don't you think. Hugs

  16. Just got the call from Weight Loss Center. Insurance has approved my revision from band to RNY. Don't have a date yet. That call may come on Monday. But just knowing it is approved and it will happen is enough for today. I am feeling every emotion there is. Mostly good. I am ready for this. Thanks to all those who have been pulling for me. Your support is more than you will ever know. Hugs
  17. How are you feeling today Number 7? Sometimes after a couple of good days after surgery a third can kind of kick you in the butt, So if that is happening don't be discouraged cause it happens in all sorts of surgery's I hope you are still doing as great as yesterday. Let us know how you are. Hugs
