Yes that is where I worked. My son worked there in management and he has always let his Mom work for him....I have been away from that area for several years now...I have an EX there so I have nothing to go back for :biggrin1:

I know that area well....I delivered pizza part time for awhile for trip money and delivered a lot in that area.....funny....pizza days are just about over...I have been having private celebrations every time I eat something I won't have again, possibly ever....it feels good!!

Helen, where in Quinlan do you live? I lived there as well as Lake Tawakoni. I was off of 751. Let's get together for sure.....I love your comment about Chili's!

I am going to Dr. Stephan, to answer your earlier question Cheryl. I called my insurance company this morning and they have my paperwork and said to call back Thursday and they should have a decision by then. I am quickly learning that patience is not a virtue I possess! I am on a time crunch because we are changing insurance companies on July 1 and one of the top companies they are considering won't cover the surgery at all and the other two have a lot more hoops to jump thru than BCBS of CA does....wish me luck!

Cheryl I am actually close to Forney...I live off of 1641 and 148...maybe we can get together sometime. I am hoping to hear from my insurance company next week sometime and then get a date set!

Is there any such thing as a Lake Tawokian? LOL...I am going to Dr. Stephan in Mesquite. His office should be submitting all my paperwork this afternoon to BC/BS of CA and then I will play the waiting game...glad to see all the local area people joining in!

I got my bullet on EBAY...I LOVE Ebay...I paid $42 which included S & H....the ones on TV are 2/$99 with an additional $35 S & H....

Hi there fellow Dallasites! I actually live in Terrell and work in Plano. I am just about done gathering my information for the insurance company and it will be submitted on Weds this week and then I begin the waiting game! You will love this site!!

Good morning everyone. I am about to begin the Lap Band journey with everyone else. I have my doctors appointment tomorrow and can't sleep because I am so excited. I am on a time crunch because I have BCBS CA right now and they have told me there should be no problem with approval. My company is changing insurance companies July 1st and the company they are going to does NOT cover Lap Band. I am praying that I can be rushed thru the system and get approval before my company notifys the insurance company that we are changing. I have been on a roller coaster with my weight all my life and I feel like this is the life long answer for me so I would wish that everyone will pray that my paperwork goes thru without a hitch. I have been told by the insurance company (and read on the threads) that is will take them, at the most, 2 weeks to approve so as long as the doctors office get their stuff sent quick enough it will be a GO! :clap2:
