Age 45 and Helen Ready is one of my faves. I am 3 mos post op and completely understand where you are coming from. Bravo to you for being conscious of what you SHOULD and SHOULDN'T put in your mouth. I am going to remember this as I struggle with a cheat now and again. Thank you!!

I have BCBS of AZ and they approved it 1 week to the day after it was sent in. They told me they had 30 days to review it. If all of your papers were in order, they'll approve it. I was freaking out because my surgery is scheduled for March 28th and the papers were sent in on March 1st approved March 8th. Good luck to you!!

AMEN, Sister!! Hoops are last thing we need. Not like this is just a passing thought to have major surgery. Do they have any idea how serious it must be for anyone to come to this decision? I will hopefully get a surgery date on Feb 21 and be on my way, but until then it's a waiting game. Good luck to you!!

Terrific list!!! I 'm going to make a list also. Seems like a great motivator to stay on track and remember why you're doing this. Congrats an going to the gym. Not an easy task when you want to be invisible;)

Awesome!!! I can't wait to join you in that excitement. I too have clothes that I thought would just stay in the container under the bed forever. Now I have hope to actually wear them again.
