I Would Like To Treat Myself
magtart replied to o00's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My mother-in-law gave me a gift certificate for a day spa. I have never been comfortable with things like that so I am giving it to my sister. I know this is rooted in low self esteem, but whatever. -
BCBS TEXAS - Check on Approval Status
magtart replied to iwant2becurvynotlumpy's topic in Insurance & Financing
I have an account. Where in there did you go to find out? When was your info sent in? I don't want to be too pushy. It's taken all I have to restrain myself from calling! Hmm, don't exactly recall. I would look but I no longer have BCBSTX. It seems to me I either emailed or put in a support request on how to find out, they responded, and I took it from there. Is there a section regarding documents or something? -

I went to bcbstx.com, created an account, and found out that way. I was anxious and checked every day! -
Short hair for me. never before
magtart replied to BairwithMe's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have had short hair since I was 19, but I recently let it grow just because I was too lazy to go get it cut. Then my hair started falling out. I have gray/white hair and decided to get it cut like Dame Judi Dench and I love it. So easy to care for. -

What the heck does this mean?!
magtart replied to freemommy×4's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
By pain pump I mean the kind that hooks up to your IV and you can press a button to self administer a dose. That is what I had. -

Oh, yeah. You can get pain meds through your IV or a shot in your hip. It should have nothing to do with going ahead with the surgery. -

From googling it looks like a pain pump. -
Don't worry about it. The nurses and the doc have seen everything and they will take care of your needs.

First Post! Kinda hesitant...

There are plenty of youngsters around. I think there is a section for 20 somethings. Welcome! -
This diet seems like BS and I am pouting
magtart replied to forgetit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm anxious to hear how the appointment went! -
I was on Lexapro for years and had no side effects that I was aware of. My doc switched me to Cymbalta for anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. I haven't experienced any side effects with this either.

Calling Dub to the white courtesy phone... That man knows his way around a grill! -
I had roasted asparagus with my steak last night. I added a tiny bit of freshly grated parmesan. My favorites are brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, and onions.

Question: problem keeping up with "followed" topics

I just click on the notifications icon at the top of the screen next to logout. -

Catching a cold?
magtart replied to glitterpockets's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Crackers and ginger ale sounds more like morning sickness relief to me. I lean toward some hot Soup for a cold. -
I think the 2nd or 3rd night I just arranged a pillow to prop myself up on my side. It worked out okay.

Assimilate gastric sleeve without having surgery?
magtart replied to heidikate's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My stats are not impressive. I spent at least 8 months battling a cross addiction with alcohol. I'm better now and back on the proper path. -
Cleared for regular food
magtart replied to anna9/15's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hesitate to bring this up, but the owner of Jimmy John's is a notorious big game trophy hunter. I can't bring myself to buy food from him. -

Egg drop soup is good. Maybe something with shrimp. -
Has anyone ever got approved within 2-3 months?
magtart replied to wagyu's topic in Insurance & Financing
Mine was quick. All I had to complete was one NUT visit and the psych eval. I had already had an EKG and EGD earlier in the year for other reasons. I guess it was around 6 weeks. -
Calming breaths...this, too, shall pass.

Assimilate gastric sleeve without having surgery?
magtart replied to heidikate's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was also born in Hollywood. :) I will be two years out next month and still don't really get hungry. If I feel hungry I eat, but if I'm out running around or something it quickly passes and I just forget that I was hungry. I think my surgeon removed part of my attention span along with my stomach.
