I have not been around much

I have not been around much but I do lurk and watch how everyone is doing. Sue you are very brave to post those pictures and you look FANTASTIC! Tim - awesome news about the job and you too look fantastic. Andrea and Peter - we need more wedding details and how life is living in the same city. Everyone else who is about to submit to insurance to have your plastics covered, my fingers are crossed for you. We tried over the winter submitting to my insurance and they denied saying they will not pay until I am two years out. That is fine, I do not mind waiting if it means they will pay for it! I am 4 days post op right now though. I had to have an emergency (well not super emergency, had a week of planning) hysterectomy. I was losing so much blood I had to get an emergency blood transfusion. I was down over 4 pints of blood. Hopefully now with this surgery I will be fine and not have to worry about my iron levels (which have been in the toilet since my gastric) and I will not have to worry about my hemoglobin levels (which have been in the toilet the last month or so). I hope all of the other lurkers out there are doing well. Hugs, Nancy

Nancy, It's good to hear from you. Glad you got the problems under control now. It's no fun, but SO worth it! Keep us posted on your plastics stuff. I'm thinking of looking to see if my insurance will cover any of it. Who knows... but I'd like to have a few things done. I think I'm chicken though. We'll see! HUGS K

Nancy, So sorry to hear about your recent surgery.. But YOU LOOK GREAT!! I sound like Joan Rivers.. Ha!! .. Nancy if Insurance said they will pay for it when you are 2 years out then go for it!.. I am waiting now to find out what my carrier says... I am always interested in what everyone is doing and how all our paths are so alike in so many ways... Not just the WLS, but all the ordinary things that brings us all closer to each other. Stay well honey.. peace Mo

Hey Nancy, so good to see you around again! I know right where you are and I too had a hysterectomy in 03 because of the exact same reason! I had to follow up with some IV iron infusions to finally get my red count up but once I did it was the greatest thing! Take it easy and heal well. Hugs back at you! Debbie

Hey Nancy, I dont post much either. Girl you will be so glad of your hysterectomy. No more periods, life will be grand now. I had one at age 35 and wish I could have done it elective at 25 LOL Hope all is well, keep us posted. Sue
