  1. Good luck to those that are getting sleeved today!!!
  2. good luck!!! Update us when you can.
  3. I told my supervisor that I was having surgery but didnt say what it was. But before I told her, I put in all of my FMLA paperwork. She didnt ask me what it was for and I don't plan to offer up that information because by law, I am not required to do so
  4. Congrats on getting booked and taking control! It is a wonderful feeling.
  5. that is wonderful!!!! Congrats
  6. I would definitely contact the surgeon to see what their guidelines are. The kaiser doctors here don't want you to smoke for 30 days as well. It's for your health that they don't want that in your system. Please don't keep that information from them. It's a matter of life and death!!! Sorry not trying to scare you, just want you to be informed
  7. awww. sorry to hear that. i hope that you are able to get something before your surgery. Have either of you guys tried prosper.com I believe that is the address. They do loans
  8. Good luck with them. My mother had to have three orders shipped out before she got them all three weeks later. Apparently, they shipped them to the wrong address and had the wrong contact phone number for her. She corrected with them so that they could resend it and they still sent it to the wrong address again... the third batch finally made it to her three weeks later.... and the first two batches they neighbors finally decided to give it to us, after they had already opened the box... I am not even dealing with them once I have my surgery... no thanks. their customer services leaves something to to be question..
  9. I am with the others. My insurance and doctors told me that your intake weight is what they go by. Be sure to check with the doctor and the insurance to see what their rules are on the situation. good luck
  10. I am pre op and I fight a battle everyday. I wonder sometimes if after I have my surgery will that battle continue. I just know that at that point I am going to have to fight a harder fight. Its a mind thing for me and I just have to get my mind right because I don't plan on losing AT ALL. Good luck on your battle
  11. Good luck, you will do great!!! Please keep us posted on your progress!!!
  12. glad that you are feeling better!!! I really love that you took the time to make a video for us while you were down there!!! It was very informative. Thans for that!!! Take it easy and enjoy the loser's bench!
  13. dont know about the driving part... but congrats on getting a date!!!
  14. I am sorry that you have to cancel the surgery. That really sucks. I hope that you guys are able to figure something out so that you can get it sooner than next year. Maybe the insurance research will pan out for you... {{{HUGS}}}
  15. we are sleeve buddies!!! I am getting sleeved on the 22nd as well!
  16. good luck and thanks for keeping us posted!!! I love the updates!
  17. I hope that she calls you back tomorrow with some good news...and if she doesnt call you in a timely fashion, I would be calling her back to put the pressure on her.... craziness.
