  1. Well good news! I appealed that $2300.00 charge for my 18 month nutritional panel and I got a call from the insurance company today. They said they would review it if I got the doctor to change the coding from bariatric follow up to a routine lab code. So, I called my PCP today who I sent a letter to explaining their screw up and she promptly changed the coding for me. Lets hope now that the insurance company does what they are supposed to. I have already paid the 2300.00 bill and would love to get that money back. It is money I simply dont have to spend on lab work. Cross your fingers.....

      It is ridiculous what labs charge for blood work! I just had my blood tests done....Quest Lab charged $1425.93 to my insurance....the insurance only allowed and paid $123.70...and because of my insurance I'm not responsible for anything....Thank God for insurance!!

  7. Down 74.4 pounds as of this morning.....just a little over 4 months!!! Holy crap that's a lot! I couldn't be happier. I have my 4 month follow-up visit with my surgeon today so I'm guessing he'll be very pleased as well. It's a GREAT day!!

      @Tami_Lynn no I really haven't had any stalls to speak of.....each week I've lost "something".....I had a week or two that it was less than a pound but each week it's been something.....

      I liked all the Quest flavors as well..........as far a pre-mixed, the EAS low carb were good too. I also enjoyed the Unjury chicken soup flavor....it really helped when I got sick of sweet!

      If you had gastric sleeve surgery on May 5 of 2015..(over a year ago) and instead of loosing weight you've gained 17 pounds you need to talk with your surgeon and NUT to try to figure out what's wrong....also 160 pounds is a really low weight to start out at????.....what eating plan are you following?

  16. I AM FREAKING OUT. I just got home from a loooong day of class (12 hours) and I weighed out of curiosity... and I am UNDER 200! I'm glad no one was here with me to see me breaking down and sobbing like a toddler but my goodness! I can't believe I'm here, and it actually happened! Please celebrate this moment with me! http://imgur.com/a/4RcuL

  18. Cleaned my closet over the weekend to get ready for Fall. Well, now I either have to go shopping--(which I hate unless it's for fishing tackle) or I have to remain in my PJs for the winter. None, and I do mean none, of my winter clothes fit to where I would wear them outside of the house. I guess this is a NSV, but it's upsetting. I really have some beautiful Fall and Winter clothes from when I used "high end" entertain with John and his diamond jewelers' circle. How times are "achanging". Moving on isn't always all smiles and sunshine, I guess, but moving on is what I am determined to do.
