  1. According to the hubsters(is that even a word) he says it depend on his boxers at the time... the spandex type material hold things up better
  2. I was just thinking the same thing... gonna ask hubby right now!
  3. Everyone has such great advice and encouraging words, thanks y’all!... even tho I think my “food funerals” were just cravings due to shark week(I usually fight those urges much better than I did last week) your encouraging words and advice has really motivated me to get my act together before surgery next month 35days left[emoji51]
  4. The food commercials are THE worst... thankfully I don’t have cable so I don’t have that kind of temptation...
  5. Any fellow nurses(or any profession honestly) can help me out with this one... I currently work in home care, how long did you all take out of work? Ive had my gallbladder removed but due to other complications (pulmonary embolism) I was out of work for 1 month but honestly felt as though I could return to work the following week.... I know each individual is different but all input is greatly appreciated... TIA!
  6. Hey! I’m from Connecticut (hope that counts) lol... sleeve scheduled for 5/31... anyone here on instagram?
  7. False alarm, it was actually shark week cravings... I’ve since returned to my normal “diet”... lol... congrats on your success and I appreciate the input!
  8. So I was approved for surgery April 10th with a surgery date of May 31st... I’ve noticed that I’ve been having food funerals since then...[emoji30] has anyone else had this problem? How did you all over come this stage? All advice is welcome
  9. I can 100% relate to the Snapchat filter one! Mine are being able to keep up with my 4 & 7 y/o Running up a flight of stairs without being totally winded My husband being able to hug me without a struggle Not be super hot and sweaty during the summer due to my fat rolls My boobs getting smaller (I was DD in the 6th grade, now a size G)
  10. I completed my preop requirements the end of March also! Scheduled for May 31, did you get a date yet? I’m located in Connecticut
  11. Yes! I did thanks for asking... I got my approval call yesterday 4/10... scheduled for may 31st
  12. I just got my call today!... scheduled may 31st... not sure if I’m more nervous or excited being that I’ve been waiting for this day since 2016!...
  13. So I started this process, I would say, summer of 2016. I didn’t attend a seminar until November of that same year, with my first initial appointment with my prospective surgeon being March of 2017. Since then I’ve hit many, MANY bumps in the road, the main one being my pcp’s reluctance to write a letter of recommendation. Thankfully I’ve been able to over come every obstacle placed before me to get to where I am now! My paperwork (including letter of recommendation) was submitted to my insurance for approval 4/2/18. I have Connecticut Medicaid/Medicare also known as Husky A. I was wondering how long did it take for an approval? For those with the same insurance as mine.
