  1. Well, I called my insurance company today...and they said that they needed more information. :cry :noidea: I don't understand..:couch2: .most of what they said they needed I sumbitted (6 months w/ notes that mention not smoking, my MBI etc..) I was really looking forward to having some good news today...not more run around. They said now I need a physical, so I scheduled one (couldn't get in until 23rd) . I want this sooo bad and I just really not happy right now. I know....they didn't deny me, but what the Heck!!!!:yell: Just need some hugs and stuff

  4. I have done tons of research on treadmills. I just bought a $4,000 one. The weight limit is placed in accordace to the size and type of engine on the machine. If you are significanly over the weight limit , it will damage the motor. It also has a lot to do with the lift power on the incline. Go for it!! Once you get moving you will be under that weight limit in no time!! :clap2: :clap2:

  9. I just had my consultation...some of the things I asked were: 1: What compliacations have your patients had? 2: (I'm very concerned with port infection) Who does the fills and what proceedures are taken to lessen the occurance of infection? Hopefully only the surgeon does or if not find out the level of specialty the person giving fils has. 3: Is a pre-surgery diet required 4: How long has he worked with his surgical team / anestisialogist (sp?) 5: Is the facility a "center of excellence" if not...why not 6: (as stated above) schedule of follow-up 7: What is proceedure should you have an emergency (something severly stuck etc.) and you need to go to EM? Should he be notified...will he have you transported to him? just a beginning

    Amen!! It really does come down to planning for me too. If I'm left without planning a meal...I end up eating whatever. Kee- for real, for me once I met with Dr. Moazzez everything got real for me. All I have been doing is straight up protein (as lean as I can stand) :eek: , and LOTS of water, 1-2 salads a day with lots of meat goodies (chicken breast, cheese, boiled egg, and low carb salad dressing). I also always drink my breakfast (unjury protein). Been moving a bit more, but not yet everyday, but it's coming. Not yet in boxing..it is brutal--:faint: have to work my way there, that is my goal. Thanks guys for the well wishes! I'll have an answer from my insurance company TOMORROW!!!! NEED PRAYERS :grouphug:
