My jeweler also put a sizer on when I was around an 8 Then I returned because sizer wasn't holding it on any more So she added some large balls on the ring and then a sizer on top of that. She won't size it finally until I am stable because it will hurt the ring structure. Here is how it looks on inside

I see on your other post you have Cigna. With a 35 and sleep apnea that is one piece of the hurdle You need 3 visits to a nutritionist in 89 days or more You need a letter from another doctor not your surgeon recommending the surgey. Here is the policy in writing. Make sure you understand you meet each piece and you'll be covered Good luck https://cignaforhcp.cigna.com/public/content/pdf/coveragePolicies/medical/mm_0051_coveragepositioncriteria_bariatric_surgery.pdf

I work from home but took 2 1/2 weeks off. The first week and pain meds was just a lot of sleepiness but I had no complications. Helped to be off to go through the eating phases and get to know my body a little bit. I was ready to go back after 5 days. But it was summer and I went to the beach and sat on sand instead ????????????????????????????

Am in north jersey - bergen county am 5 months out Be happy to help in any way

Had a surprise hiatal hernia and was off 2 1/2 weeks Was up and walking a ton that first night Was outpatient but overnight Outpatient is 23 hours So came in a 10 and left next pm Never had gas pain was out of recovery around 6 pm In the bath by 8 and walking the halls by 9 and all night long. I felt absolutely fantastic since then

Agree with vsgann completely. Do the surgery get yourself a good hat and lawyer. Did you ever consider that the hair loss is due to stress of your situation ?

5 months out my wedding ring has gone from size 9 1/4 to a solid 7 Still have 25 pounds to go

Yes and don't take no or some othe bs for an answer. I have gotten - it's an allergen. What allergen? Well people who can't have whey. So a dairy allergen ? They won't be having latte It clogs our steamers. No they don't you run the steamer right after. Most good baristas do. When I see them do it and messing it up I stop them immediately and refuse it.

No not of they steam it in the milk. If they won't steam it with the milk don't get it.

You all know starbucks sells Protein powder they're willing to steam with your milk? I get it every day. Grande skinny latte with 1 scoop protein and 2 splenda $4.40. The whey protein tastes like vanilla

I am glad. I am sure your friend meant well especially if she knows how devoted you are to your kids. It doesn't have to be long and deep. Just you love them and you are doing this to be a better mom.

At stage 3 I was able to do about 2 ounces each meal before I felt full I ate every 2-3 hours.

You're at what stage in eating? If you're still on liquids and limited solids then you're normal. You should also be starting a stall soon

My mother died unexpectedly when I was 9 years old. To this day I learn something new about her evry day from family members. Sometimes the information sends me over the edge Last week someone told me my m suffered epileptic attacks until she hit puberty. grand mal seizures every day. Like devastating information. Something withheld from me and my children. I also miss her evry day it's been ovet 30 years. I will tell you had she left me a letter of any kind id treasure it I actually did write my kids a letter. I wasn't prosaic and it wasn't war and peace but certainly how I felt about them. That they are loved. The plan is to keep it updated regularly. Maybe give them these letters later in life and if something does happen to me, well they won't have the same pain I do every day.

You are going to love dr Bessler and the valley office. I certainly do!!

Did Cigna send you a rejection letter? It is a requirement. On that Letter they tell you exactly the rejection - billet points and on the 2nd page is appeal process. You need to write a letter When you had first surgery Why it failed - include medical records of possible Who is recommending the new surgery - include letter from those doc's Then address each of their rejection bullets with factual medical records Your surgeon should have requested a peer to peer review after the first rejection. That is when a medical profession at the office - not a surgical coordinator- talks to the medical director at Cigna and the discuss the medical facts That usually gets an approval

You need to stop talking to your doctor and talk to cogna. If they've denied it find out exactly why Appeal it in writing address each point of the denial with proof of the requirement. Pm me if you need assistance

Old navy size XXxl was good up to size 20 Target is so-so on plus sizes stores around me

I used the Town shop This is a great article http://gothamist.com/2014/03/26/nycs_best_bra_fitters.php#.

Thank you. I find it fascinating that we forgot how to measure for bras This is how you measure and many times when I was in bigger sizes no one measured me and I was wearing ill fitting bras for years until I went to a specialty stor in NYC I got a true measurement. I was a 44 c I had been wearing everything from 38f to 46d, the felt fine but didn't make me look great in clothes I plan to go to the same location when I hit goal. Until then it's Vickie secret - who did do a proper measurement - now a 36c Some style 38c

I work from home 3 days a week. Friday's work perfectly

we should all meet at starbucks in downtown ridgewood with a scoop of Protein steamed in!

Omg you're me!! I never had reflux before my sleeve and since it has been agonizing Surgeon keeps telling me it's not acid not acid. Went to an ent who tells me it's silent reflux. Gi and surgeon disagree. I had asthma for last 10 years. Since the surgery and loss of 60 pounds not one single event of asthma. Was on omeprazole twice a day,40mgs and nothing ! Now on carafate and feel no better. I went cold turkey and feel great

Medicaid will pick up the full balances ONLY if you meet their requirements. Contact your case worker and / or whoever provesses the claims for Medicaid for you (sometimes and hno is selected) and get their requirements If they tell you they cover the balance after bcbs as long as they cover it --- GET IT IN WRITING!

Consider it one of your food funerals. Put your dancing shoes on and give it all you got. Go out and have a ball!!!
