  1. OMG!!! That's crazy. I will totally freak if mine takes that long. I'm sorry. I hope you hear something soon!!! Is your insurance through Lowe's employment?
  2. I'm sorry your family isn't there but alone you are not!! We are here and more importantly like said above God is always by your side. I will be praying for you. God bless you.
  3. Can u post a size 18 pic? Wanna see before and after. You look awesome!! I'm a size 16 or 18 depending on brand.
  4. I'm sorry for what you are going through. Praying for you. Keep us posted.
  5. @tutu. Thank you @sara. Thanks and I will let you know. I'm going to call Friday and see if they know something yet. Which BCBS do you have?
  6. Ok they submitted my file today. Now I wait.
  7. I've done HCG twice actually. I lost quite a bit of weight. The last time I was 216 and lost down to 179 in 5 weeks. That was last December. I now weigh 243. Works great but anytime you don't make a lifestyle change you will gain it back.
  8. Ok it took me all day but I finally got my PCP to send over the corrected weight. My surgeon's office will submit my file first thing tomorrow morning.
  9. I have the same issue with my two boys. I am anxious to hear some ideas
  10. Ok another snag. I have gained weight over the past year. At some time in 2012 I went to my PCP and I weighed 226. My surgical doc appt I weighed 265. Two days later I went to My PCP because I was having headaches. I weighed 257. Come to find out my BP was up and he put me on medication and the headaches have subsided. My next NUT appt I weighed 249 and yesterday at my last NUT appointment I weighed 243. My problem is when I seen my PCP for the headaches they didn't record my weight in the chart. It says I weighed 226. When we submit to insurance I'm sure they will wonder how I lost 40 lbs in two days and then gained nearly 30 back in a week. We have to use that record when we submit because it's the only one with my height listed and my high BP. I don't really know what to do. I am going to try to go to my PCP tomorrow and have them correct the record before we submit.
  11. Ok I had my psych eval. That was easy and I passed. My last NUT appointment is this Saturday the 1st and we are submitting to insurance Monday. Wish me luck and pray for me please. CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!
  12. I am still pre op but I got really bad constipated once while I was pregnant and Dr had me try MC. I got the cherry flavor and I found the trick was to have it extremely cold right out of fridge and over ice. Mixing it with other things just makes it take longer to drink IMO
  13. Can't we all just get along? Just kidding But really I wasn't offended by you asking if the complications are real. Sometimes the complication stories can be so horrific they seem unbelievable but they do happen and the people that have them are kind enough to stick around and post what's happening to help others I don't think you meant your question offensive but someone who nearly lost their life may feel attacked and go in the defense.
  14. CONGRATS!!!! I have my psych eval Friday. I'm nervous about that. Really the closer it gets the more nervous I get about it all.
  15. Sometimes it can be as simple as the style of clothes we wear. Google slimming clothing for apple shape and maybe try that. You look great to me!!!
  16. I'm in north east Texas. Where are you?
  17. That's right. Fear not!! I will pray for you.
  18. NUT-nutritionist WLS-weight loss surgery IMO-in my opinion TOM-time of month TBH-to be honest DH/DS/DD-dear husband,son,daughter
  19. Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Guess our minds are in the gutter
  20. I would like to get in there. I've clicked on it several times since I joined in September but nothing ever pops up. Grrrrrrrr
