  1. Thanks Have been wearing socks that came with my hunter boots. They're fleece. I will try to pick up at dicks. My coat is an ll bean Acadia 650 down fill. Warmest they sell Still flipping cold http://m.llbean.com/product.html?&page=acadia-down-coat#75221
  2. Appeal!! You'll be stuck for the deductible (1000 plus for hospital) and 20% for the surgeon, anesthesia and other ancillary care. Appeal!!!
  3. Well I applied today and kept it in for about 4 hours not feels rather soft Not sure it did anything as I lost a bunch washing the oil out n Will try this for a while and see what happens I guess
  4. @@skinnygirlwithin where did you get those socks?
  5. Obamacare needs to go further. It needs to put some controls on charges. Hubby went to ER a couple months ago torn calf. Misdiagnosed. Xray taken. Charge for the lovely 4 hours we spent here - $1350 including X-ray. Next day MRI shows calf tear. Not a sprain I went to the ER exactly one week later for a tendon tear. Different hospital as I didn't want wrong fish. Well Misdiagnosed!! Was told plantar fasciitis. No X-rays or tests. Sent home either an rx. Hospital charge $2000 plus Total time 1 hour in/out Thank god my insurance paid $500 and $750 respectively. But still. Had it been January I'd have had to pay that thanks to a ridiculous &4500 deductible. Obamacare needs to set straightforward rate controls. Hubby had more services (the xray) but got charged less! Arg!
  6. It was via the app. But the app is still freezing or stuttering is more appropriate word for it right now. For instance start typing a word and app freezes for a few seconds and then it types out. Does that every few words
  7. I suck at tagging. Lol. But wanted you to look at the post. Are there issues with the apps?? @@Alex Brecher
  8. So my hair is thin. I can make Brillo pads out of what appears in the shower everyday. Seriously nothing you guys haven't heard or seen. But hubby sent me this and was wondering if anyone had tried?? http://www.newhealthguide.org/Coconut-Oil-For-Hair-Growth.html
  9. @@Alex Brecher? Can't tag for some reason
  10. I was outpatient. In at 10 am and out the next day. I did the overnight. Was a 23 hour stay. That's outpatient. Even overnight
  11. I lost a friend through this process she's also morbidly obese and very happy. She was at around 350 when she started doing Zumba and adopted a vegetarian lifestyle. I supported her jn this by attending her classes with her and when she started teaching it I supported her there too. She lost 80 pounds. I lost 5?? I decided to do surgery and she got different. Really bitter. And I know I am emotional during this journey but her comments have been offensive and hurt my feelings. They weren't always weight related. Comments were about everything and usually a little slide of you like to find the easy way to things huh I dropped her finally I can't have toxic in my life. By the way yes I like the easy way. I like to keep it simple stupid in all things.
  12. Nope. Obamacare requires certain added basic coverages for all insurances. But beyond that it does not affect an employer sponsored health coverage. When you have more than 100 employees you have self funding for employer groups and that means that premiums are based on what your employees are actually having done and insurance paying for. Has nothing to do with obamacare The insurance can't charge you more based on all their customers having more surgeries, more heart attacks, more cancer. It will be dependant on your employers specific experience. So if last year they spent 10m and this year 100 people got cancer, 50 had heart attacks and 50 had weight loss surgery, then next year they're going to figure out that you will spend 50million and calculate the cost of premiums from there.
  13. Say what? Please ask your doc
  14. Congrats please use the search on this tool for pregnancy. I would recommend you wait for some time post surgery. You're not going to get more than 500 calories for quite some time and you will need to nourish yourself and a baby.
  15. You may want to change title of post to the country you're in
  16. I am having the same issues especially at night perhaps too many people on. The app stutters and freezes. I use an iPhone. @alexbrecher any ideas ?
  17. The gym my hubby joined offers private trainers. When you first join you get 1 visit with them at no charge. They come up with a plan of what goals you want to hit and show you what excercises and machines you need They're always around to show you how to use them Hubby lost his 100plu pounds on his own. When he plateaud he paid for 10 private trainer sessions and lost the remaining 50. I on the other hand tried the same route lost 20 put on 10. You know.... I was sleeved in June 2014. I wish you the best of luck. I would recommend talking to your wife about her concerns. Then if they're related to the possible complications - take her to a seminar. Irregardless make sure you tell her that you love her, it's about you, that this in no way affects her choices to remain as she is. Then take it one day at a time. Be careful that she isn't so against it she sabotages any weight loss. I have a friend whose hubby sounds like your wife and he does all the cooking. It's been a difficult 4 months for her.
  18. I think you should give yourself a little more credit. My sleeve doesn't stope from eating chips all day long. Or a full bag of popcorn at the movies. There are things that we can eat that don't make us feel restriction but we choose not to eat them. Perhaps you haven't found those yet I am a lot like you. I needed restriction. The permanent kind. I thought about the band for about a quick minute. I know myself and know that I would've failed at it. I needed more permanency.
  19. Bellabloom you may have drank that water too fast I know at 7 mos post j take two hours to get 16 ounces in.
  20. Yes freezing. All the time. Especially my feet. Just can't seem to get them warm no matter what I do
  21. Its such a roller coaster of emotions and as you lose weight the hormones stored in your fat are released and causes you even more emotions Get yourself a laxative. Milk of magnesia works for me. Then start a regimen of Fiber gummies or a stool softener Increase your calories little by little. Instead of the low cal Snacks like cheese switch to beef Jerky maybe or a little tuna or a roll up. Hugs????????✊
  22. Didn't he test yu before putting it in? Congratulations. There are many members who've become pregnant post surgery. Talk to your ob and make sure that she understands your lifestyle and can counsel you appropriately on Vitamins and nutrition need you have
  23. Read an article where she admits she was underweight. She does have weight issues and it's makes her a little short of a full deck
