How soon will you know about the job? I was in the same boat as you, having applied for a promotion and then the subsequent waiting,but as of yesterday I am a supervisor. I hope you have the same luck I did.

Hey everybody!!! It has been a while since I posted, but I have been soooooo busy with school and I had a tummy tuck and breast reduction 2 weeks ago!! I can't believe it!!! For anyone out there looking to have insurance cover your plastics, document everything and take photos! My insurance covered the reduction, tummy tuck (not panni, full tummy with muscle repair) and thighs. I didn't get my thighs done though because I carried all of my weight in the middle and they don't look bad at all. But I took pics of all of the rashes I was getting and sent them my prescription records for all of the antifungal creams and antibiotics that my doc made me take. It took them almost a month to approve everything, but they finally did. I can't ever remember feeling this great in my whole life. I had my PS on 9/21 and went back to school on 9/26. I would totally do everything all over again in a heartbeat. I've gone from a size 22/24 to a size 8 pants and a size 10 top (even with the reduction, the girls are still pretty HEALTHY, lol) If anyone has any questions, please let me know and I will help you with a letter for your pcp to sign and send to the insurance for approval. ~Jae 275/175/167

It is an amazing thing when you can make a healthy change in your life as well as your family's life. I am glad to hear your physician as well as his staff treats you kindly. Unfortunantly I haven't been all that lucky but oh well. My surgeon is still a nice guy so getting past his staff is worth it. LOL I love skinny, even if I don't believe them. Glad to hear pink is your new favorite color. I never thought I wouldn't wear black and I try to stay as far away from it as I can. Maybe when I get to terms with the fact that I am not going backwards I will add some more black into my clothing but I will take my time. I hope everything continues to go so well for you and for your family. Keep up the great work. Shannon

Hi Everyone Just wanted to post and ask if you could say a little prayer for me this week. Thursday I had noticed a posting for an open Teaching Position as a Special Ed Business Teacher within the school system I work in now. I also noticed that someone had posted a stupid announcement on top of this information which meant that my Resume and Letter of Intent was due into the Director of Human Resourses with a deadline of the next day. I went home, typed up a new resume and cover letter and hand delivered it on Friday morning. Now I just have to wait for notice of an interview. There are a few other candidates for the same position but I may be the only one applying for this position from within. It was also posted in last Sunday's paper. If I am the only internal applicant that is good for me, since it will make my wanting this position more of a reality. The nice thing is it would be more than double my current salary. When I asked my current Assistant Principal if I could use his name as a reference he was dumbfounded. He told me he did not want to lose me but also wished me luck and repeatedly told me he did not want to lose me. I then told him there were no guarantees that I would even get this position. What is meant to be will be. Thanks for your help! I appreciate your positive thoughts and prayers. Hugs to All Marianne
