Welcome Dano,

You are going to love this board. Everyone is so kind and helpful.

It sounds like you are doing great. I'm looking forward to seeing the pictures.

Jaffa Steve,

That is so nice of you to take care of both ladies. Tell ya what, when the rest of us that are waiting get our sleeve dates we will let you know. Then since you will be so experienced you can come and take care of us. Maybe your wife could rent you out on this board. LOL

No kidding, it is nice of you to care for them both. Keep on posting with the updates.

Judy

I'm very excited for you both. Have a little fun while you are there.

I can't wait to hear all about it. :lol0: Judy

I was watching a weight loss show on tv the other day. This lady had lost alot of weight. She went to her Dr and told him she had some kind of hard growth on the bottom of her neck and it was getting bigger. He checked it out and said " that is your collar bone". :lol0::lol0::lol0: Judy

I became a christian at age 8. Southern Baptist

Normal or below normal weight all through school.

Married the day after 12th grade graduation.

Dream was to become a mother.

Brought first child home on our first ann.

Gained 50 lbs. while pregnant.

Lost 30 lbs taking diet pills.< /p>

Pregnant again. Gained 50 more lbs.

Lost and gained weight on several diets.

Adopted a child and gained weight.

Lost 40 lbs. twice on WW.

Gained it all back and more.

Became very depressed due to several major things in my life.

Developed High Blood Pressure.

Migrains, insomia.

Thought about taking an over dose on several occations.

My faith in God pulled me through.

I love to cook big country meals like my mother and grandmother.

I have to have my comfort food. It is my friend and makes me feel safe.

I have been doing alot of research and have decided on the sleeve.

I AM TAKING MY LIFE BACK!!!

I am now in charge and with the help of God and DH I will make it.

I attended a seminar and turned in my packet 3 weeks ago.

Just waiting to hear from someone. I want 100 lbs. gone

My family Dr. is sending me to a RA specialist next week. She said my RA factor is 56 and it is not suppose to be over 16.:lol0: I wondered why I was hurting so much. I thought it was age and weight.

Thanks in advance for all the support I'm going to ask for.:lol0: Hugs, Judy

Hi Lisa,

Thanks for telling us how your journey is going. It not as easy as everyone thinks, is it? You hang in there. I know you are going to make it. I'm right here rooting for you.

You are setting an example for the rest of us and giving us hope that we will get there too. Hugs, Judy

Thank you for responding to my question. I wanted to have this surgery while I was off from school this summer. (Kindergarten Assistant). I need time to recover before taking on 28 five year olds all day. LOL

It was the MD's office that I left messages with and haven't heard anything from.

I went to a seminar on 6-5. I turned in all my paper work and insurance info. that day. The insurance said they will pay. I have not heard back from anyone. I have called twice and get a recording to leave a message.

I did not recieve any calls back.

Maybe I'm just getting impatient. Did everyone else take this long to hear back from anyone? Thanks, Judy

I have Humana Commonwealth Optimum PPO.

I finally found out the code by calling a hospital that does the surgery. I then called the insurance co. and they said that it was an unlisted code with them right now but the Dr could get it preauthorised. I guess we will see. Thanks, Judy

P.S. the code for the sleeve is 43659. Maybe this will help someone else.

Hello Everyone,

I found out last week that my insurance would pay for me to have a band. I would rather have the sleeve. They won't tell me if they will cover that without me telling them the medical code for the sleeve. Does anyone know what the code for this is? :thumbup1:

Thank You, Judy

Hi Susie.

I wish I was closer. I would walk with you. I'm from Upton. I'm waiting on insurance and will be banded at HMH. Judy

Hi Reba,

Welcome and good luck!

Judy

Hi Michele, I was in Louisville on Friday. Seven friends got together to Celebrate one of the friends retirement. We went shopping at the Oxmore Mall and then went out to eat at a place called something Paradise. Very retro but the food was good. Nice talking to you. Good Luck!

P.S. My daughters' name is Michelle too.

Hi Michelle, I'm from KY too. I will be going to the seminar on 6-9 at Hardin Memorial Hospital in E-town. I found out that my insurance will pay but I have to do 6 months of dieting. I think I have a few months I can count from WW, but I have to get my info together. It's nice to meet another KY gal. Welcome and good luck in your journey. Keep me posted on how you're doing. Judy

Hi Bobbie, I'm new too. I start my 6 month diet tomorrow also. I'm going to see if they will let me do the 3 month diet and 3 month of curves so I wont have to wait so long. Nice to meet you and good luck. Judy
