I had my 5th Nut visit today and everything went great. I only lost 2 more pounds but she said I had actually gained muscle so she was happy! That makes 32 pounds down on my own. She told me I passed my pysch eval with flying colors. Now things start getting crazy because I am shooting for surgery in December so now I have the following scheduled: PET SCAN - Nov 2nd 8:30 a.m UPPER ENDOSCOPY Nov 3rd 6:00 a.m. Visit with Cardiologist Nov 5th 9:30 a.m. Last Nut Visit Nov 16th 10:00 a.m. Dexxa Scan Nov 16th 11:00 a.m And if all goes well with my PET (Heart) Scan and Upper Endoscopy they should be able to submit on Nov 17th!!!!! The problem is that I also have a job. Thank goodness I have been saving up my PTO.

Great idea really. I wish I were app savvy and could do it myself.

Hey Dub, let me know when your gonna do that buck nekkid thing again.

I can relate to that. In a small way I have been doing the same thing. I realized a few days ago that I was spending to much time on the computer looking for things to buy! I am putting the brakes on that....but I wish I could become addicted to housework! Unfortunately I like housework about as much as I crave water.....I DON"T

I purchased the Multivitamin patch last week and put on my first one this morning. So I am going to put them to the test. Thanks for your update.

That's almost my scenario. I have one more NUT visit in Nov and then they will be submitting for approval. The plan is to get me approved and done before Jan 1st so I am hoping for mid December too

Another thing I always wonder about is how are they financing that amount of obesity. They aren't working so that must mean that my taxes are going towards this and that gets on my last nerve.

Yippee! That is exciting! Now call the Dr's office and verify!

Now she is suppose to be dieting because she is horrified to find out she is pre-diabetic but on the last show she actually gained back 10 lbs she had lost so of course she fights with her roommate and buys a gallon of ice cream and starts eating it in the car. She also got a job that was surely only given to her because of her Television show and when they call her to tell her that the uniform is khaki shorts and and a dark shirt. She then tells the man on the phone that she can't wear khaki shorts because she gets CHUB RUB. Of course this is a TV show but she really seems to think that is an ok way to talk to people she doesn't even know. I was so embarrassed for her.

Its hard to stay 800 lbs without someone helping you.

I catch this show every once in a while and it gives me different feelings. I was wondering who else watches this and what do you think of the show?

It's nice to read both sides of the coin and I think it helps people prepare for what might happen.

Well I just ordered some. I am going to start them before surgery to try to build myself up and get use to it. I hope they work! I am having labs done Monday so I will have a good base point to compare.

I like this idea, Does your Dr. say this is adequate?

I am excited for you. I know what you are feeling. I am also on the 6 month Quest with a couple of stumbling blocks and I am just ready to get it done. Keep us updated.

I didn't realize they generally kept people more than one night. Does that happen often?

No but that's not a bad idea.

@Djmohr After reading about your previous issues it makes me feel lucky that I only have the issues I have. Congrats on your strength and improvement.

BTW, does your Dr. ok coffee? I thought we were suppose to avoid caffeine.

Have you ever been diagnosed with Hyper Activity? LOL Your excitement is infectious.

Happy Birthday!

Maybe while they are eating something smellicious you should go into another room and eat a juicy orange or something. Or just light a smelly candle that will mask the odor. Smell is the most powerful senses.

I am sorry that had to happen. A few years ago when I started gaining my weight back I had to remove mine because I was afraid that would happen. Now it is actually one of my goals to lose enough weight to start wearing it again. After surgery I may even have to have it resized SMALLER! That would be ok. Were you able to save your ring so that they can resize it someday?
