    Hey Short Ladies!

    Have you tried Fullbeauty.com? They have the gamut from cheapass to work-appropriate. They have a lot of capris right now. I'm 5'2" and I find Roaman's and Woman Within Petite Skinny jeans are a good length for me but the boot-cut ones are too long without heels. Their clearance prices are crazy cheap and if you join their mailing list they will bombard you with coupons. They have sizes 12-36. I would definitely look at the reviews before you buy, the quality is all over the place. Good luck!

    POST SURGERY - FEBRUARY SLEEVERS

    Things have been going well for me. It's been a month since my surgery and I'm down 25 pounds. I was lucky--no throwing up, no heartburn (so far). My main challenge has been tiring out quickly but that's a small price to pay. I hope everyone else is doing well, too!

    Feb 13th!

    I can't believe how quickly this whole process has gone! I've really appreciated hearing about everyone's experiences, it's made surgery and the aftermath a little less scary. Monday's the big day--nervous and excited!

    Why Can't I Get Gastric Bypass?

    Medi-Cal DOES cover Gastric Bypass surgery. I don't know what the deal is with Blue Cross. Has your doctor given you a medical reason as to why the surgery wouldn't be appropriate? Medi-Cal also covers the sleeve.

    DS Through Kaiser?

    Does anyone on here have experience with Kaiser Norcal referring them for the DS recently? Particularly the Richmond facililty? I don't think that they do it in house. I've found a lot of people in forums who have had to fight and petition to get their referral, but none in the last 5 years. My BMI at orientation was 51. I meet with the surgeon soon, and I'd like to know if I should be gearing up for a fight. I'm at the very beginning of this adventure, and any and all advice would be much appreciated!
