  1. Whats a clothes iron!! hahahahahaha If I could I would like to have a clothesline and hang our clothes outside. The subdivision we live in will not let us have one. I love the smell of sheets that have been line dried in the sunny and snappin in the wind! I remember before my Mom got a dryer she had 3 clotheslines in the basement and hung all the clothes down there in the winter.
  2. The nutritionist I saw last week said that B-6 or B-12 or all the B's hell, were instrumental in the health of your nervous system. Does that make sense, its late so I hope it does!
  3. Do you still have your gall bladder? If you do and have stones, they can cause all kinds of different pain locations for different people.
  4. Yeah...good for you!!
  5. April 2005 I started investigating lapband. Insurance problems and 2 years later I FINALLY I have psychologists approval!! Now for my surgeon appt!!!!
  6. I agree with Fran that you have responded several times to my questions when others didnt. I appreciated that. We all have opinions, what would it be like if we were all the same...... BORING!!
  7. yes, we had a flowbee too. My husband wanted it, so we ordered one. He gets up earlier than me, and I am always so afraid when I come in the room and QVC is on. He has ordered....2 sets of pots and pans,The Showtime Rotesserie(sp),this multi-piece cheese slicer thing..you turn this handle,grill utensils,and 2 more sets of pots and pans(for 2 sons).
  8. Thanks so much...I never got an email that I had this many answers. Glad I searched here!
  9. Yes how do you get this sort of thing covered ?
  10. I have been checking into lapband for 2 yrs now. I have my nut and psych appt Wednesday. Now I am wondering if RNY should be the route for me. In your opinion which is the better surgery? Help............
  11. I havent had the surgery yet so I cant answer the pain question, but good luck today. Everything will be ok!
  12. *My tweezers, I am a compulsive pluckaholic. I have gone on vacation without them and I just about went batty. *My husband, He is really a good guy, his Momma raised him well. *Sleep Number bed, stayed in a hotel after we got the Sleep Number and it was one of the worst nights of sleep I have ever had,felt like I was sleeping on a concrete slab. Anyone interested in getting one PM me I will send you a referral card. *Daily Newspaper, even on vacation I need to read one. *Fingernail clippers (clipaholic) *Ruby Stone nail file (fileaholic) Humm, do I have some issues?
  13. I know the feeling. It will be nice to go shop for something and get what I want instead of just what is big enough. Congrats on your victory!
  14. Has anyone bought one of those expensive Barista espresso machines like they sell at Starbucks? I am so tempted, but it's a lot of money. Do you use yours regularly, or is it too much hassle? My husband and I bought and tried one of those Senseo brand machines to make cappucino. We didnt like it.
  15. Thanks for all the responses. I have been taking the Byetta 6 days now. The first day when I injected it, I felt like I was having an out of body experience. Felt REALLY whacked out and VERY nauseous. Each day it has gotten a little better. I am only taking it in the am before breakfast because we get up so late. I know I should start taking it before dinner also, but that hast worked out. You cant take it less than 6 hr apart. And anyway I dreaded that feeling I got, but that has almost went away. It does make me very lethargic. I go back to the Dr tomorrow I will see if I have lost any weight. Thanks again everyone.
  16. Hi..Lansing-Leavenworth area here. Hoping to get banded sooner than later!
  17. I had never heard of it. I did use it today 1 time. Did make me nauseous, dizzy and extremely lethargic. Toward the evening I was feeling better. We went out to eat unexpectedly for dinner and I didnt get in the before dinner dose. I was noticeably less hungry. Probably because I was nauseous most of the day. But they say that goes away. Would you check with your Mom and see if she had any problems? Thanks for responding
  18. Anyone heard of or on Byetta??
  19. Just went to my PCP yesterday. He wants me to go on this new medicine. Said everyone they have put it on has lost weight. I am type 2 diabetic and my numbers are controlled and good. Anyone here on this?
  20. I just talked to Patricia this afternoon at UHC in the care Coordination dept. She said the fax for them was 866 756-9733?????????????????????
  21. These people are getting on my last nerve. Dr's ofc said they sent my records to UHC on Mar 30. Just talked with them and they say not received. Do you know what the fax number is that the Dr's ofc is to send them to?? thanks
  22. Anyone trying to get surgery have UHC in Kansas City?????
  23. I cant link to threads from my personal email....500 error, and I tried to bring up Alex on the members list to pm him and got 500 error also?????
  24. Things between SMMC and UHC are still not resolved. I spoke with my surgeons office today and since things arent settled it is up to me if I want to go ahead. Insurance person their said they are going on with their OTHER patients with other insurance. UHC is my secondary but this surgeons office makes you pay whatever the insurance doesnt. My primary wont pay much at all. So I am in a real quandary. I started investigating lapband in April 2005, seminar 11-2005, insurance problem stopped everything 2-2006, new seminar this year now this. It makes me wonder if this is an omen and isnt for me.
