Congrats!

Never read the complications thread! lol.. Bad enough that I'm a nurse and know to much already! lol

Thank for all the support.... Have a feeling I'm gonna need it. One minute I'm so exited and the next I'm like holy s&@t what am i doing!

It means my surgeon got the approval from the insurance company.... My grandma always said there is no such thing as a stupid question.. If you don't ask you don't find out the answer...

Just got a call from my surgeon office...... I'M APPROVED!!!!! was sure it was gonna be a struggle, and was ready to be disappointed. I laughed like a loon when she told me they approved it....

More risk for blood clots, and other complications because you don't heal as well or as quickly as a non smoker

I sent you a friend request so I can manually add you to the group. It won't let me send you another email invitation. Once you accept the friend request' date=' then I can add you to the group.[/quote']

What kind if nurse are you' date=' and how long are you taking off for? I'm an ER charge nurse & plan on taking 2 weeks.[/quote']

I am an ER nurse also, but don't do charge.. My surgeon says 2 weeks. But I'm concerned i won't have the energy or stamina needed for the job.... Guess we will see

Please add me globug2@hotmail

I'm penciled in for April 22nd, two days before my birthday. Just waiting for the final word from insurance.. Finished my 6 month insurance requirement this week. Scared!

It if better if they are painted a lighter color... Easier for the finger monitor you will probably have on to pick up your pulse and oxygen level

I have my surgery penciled in for April 22 ( 2 days before my birthday).. Just because i have to do my work schedule 2 months in advance. Have talked in depth with my dietician and she sees no reason for me not to be approved... But final say is up to insurance.. Figured a month would give me plenty of time if i have to appeal or supply more paperwork.

Haven't been on much lately.. But my 6 month insurance requirement is up on march 15th.. Terrified i won't be approved!!! I love reading all the posts on here. Gives me hope and resolve for the future! Love all the support we give each other....

I'm not sleeved yet.... But i think it is a fabulous idea!

Bcbs of illinois

He is going to do mine.... If/when i get approved

I work at St Joe East and their center is great... And am currently going through 6 month requirementput approval process... Who is doing your surgery? Let me know how it goes!

has anyone tried these? zero carbs.... thought i would see if anyone had any insight before i bought some.

If you have demabond (glue) on them you may be allergic to it... I would call the Dr. again and tell them about the red rings

What is divas boot camp? Where do your find it?
