  11. Like others said, it's up to insurance... Mine put a limit of it being within the past two years...I know my surgeon has 6 forms to be filled out one for each month... Maybe the Dr. you saw for the weight loss might be willing to write something or fill out the forms.. Worth asking "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  12. I'm watching this now... If we don't get whose coming into the country under control we can expect this to be occurring more often.. Use your vote in November wisely...

  13. Agree on infused Water... Mint, lemon, cucumber, ginger... Play with flavors you like "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  14. This thread started out as a person expressing their opinion, it turned into exactly what he was expressing his opinion about... Masking plain old nasty comment with tough love doesn't make them any less nasty... As others have said if you can't offer advice or support than don't participate in that thread... Maybe create a thread to exchange nasty snippy comments amongst one another... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

  16. @caridickerson hair loss seems to be the norm after surgery, not something I'm looking forward to... You might want to considered treating the hair you have better... Use sulfate free shampoos, get a keratin treatment and a good deep conditioner... Maybe add highlights or change your hair to a darker color... Speak with your stylist, if you don't have one now is probably an excellent time to get one. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  17. I think it could be possible if things with your insurance and the surgeon's schedule fall into place.... If your required to do 6 months supervised diet but you have been working with another doctor such as primary care they may fill out the paperwork to move the situation along.

  18. This from Sephora helps me when my skin gets super dry in Winter, it has something in it to sooth the little cuts that can happen from dry skin... It's about $30 but gives the skin relief. "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

  20. @lilbeanie... In my costco there in the deli section... Not sure which aisle.. Maybe next time... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  21. Right now that's the date they have giving me on the papers they submit to the insurance... Where from? "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  22. I'm over 40, 45 to be exact... Similiar stats to all of you 5'4 236... This is the most obese I've been, sort of new for me to be 200 plus... The weight keeps rapidly piling on... My surgeon said you will get loose skin wear you mostly carry your weight... In my case it's the belly.. One fear of having the surgery was how would I pay for plastics but since I figured that one out I'm good... Yes weight training is a game changer, im pre op but headed to the gym today to get a trainer "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein
  23. @ the original poster was kind enough to not put the people he was referring to on blast, looks like they did that themselves... "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them" Einstein

  32. Thanks for bringing attention to this problem... I guess I've been on here about six weeks... The sarcastic and rude comments I find are attention seeking on behalf of those who write them. Those kind of comments shut down the conversation of the thread and defeat the information sharing that could unfold on a threat.This is a forum for adults, it's simple to say we agree to disagree and let it be... Odd too how once they create drama, they go off and create threads about more positive topics... I feel on this forum we need to show extra sensitivity as the surgical process and the changes it brings has people a somewhat stressed to begin with... It's not what you say it how you say it, points can be expressed with sensitivity and kindness.
