Im from your area but now living in Florida. Where are you?

Not sleeved yet. Does the fullness feel like you're stuffed? Someone please describe.

Movement can positively affect the feelings that come with depression. I know this personally to be true. I encourage you to get up and go for a walk. 5 years is a long time for your child to be away. I think the best thing you can do for him/her is to treat yourself well so that you are able to share the greatest reflection of yourself while they're away and when they become free. My prayers are with you .

just ate nuggets and fries.....

I participated in a class like this at Gold's Gym years ago. I enjoyed it. It had good music and you were able to use the weights that were best for you. It was the most popular class at the gym. I actually liked it better than solo weight training. You'll probably have fun.

Welcome! I'm fairly new too. I went on my first Dr's appointment about 2 weeks ago and am going to the nutritionist and for my psych eval. in the coming weeks. I agree so far this site has been very helpful to me and has eased my mind. I think it's great that your company has a program to help you navigate the process.

Thanks everyone for your words of wisdom. I spoke to my company's Benefits person and he does not expect anything to change. WoooHooooo! He said that they will be working on a transition plan for those who are in the middle of treatment so I should be fine. Thank God!

I think I'm getting sleeved in January too. If all works out......

I'm pretty much at the very beginning of my adventure...Had my first appointment last week, and have my psych. evaluation scheduled for next week. On Friday I received a letter in the mail, from the Company that I work for, stating that they will be changing insurance providers from Aetna to Blue Cross Blue Shield. This becomes effective January 1, 2013. Yikes!!! I'm honestly spazzing a little bit. Just when I finally get to a place where I can get it done (job stability, decent insurance, and a made up mind), this happens. I called my insurance coordinator at the Dr.'s office and she suggested that I call BCBS and see if they cover WLS. So I call them and they say that it's not listed in the plan, or at least the description that he saw on his screen. Now I have to speak with my Company's Benefits Administrator. Shall we pray!!!!!!! The Coordinator at the Dr.'s office told me that even if they say "no", there's a way around it. I wonder what that's about. Anywhoooo, I know I need to stay positive, so I'm going to try not to stress.

Ummmm that was Job stability...auto correct always messes me up!

Hey! So I finally am able to do it. Have good insurance and join stability so it's time to get this body in order honey! I'm looking for a buddy to go on this journey together with.
