I'm doing ok, eating too much though and falling back into eating at night "Sigh" I"m not gaining but I'm not losing either. I'm getting in about 900 calories a day with most of it being protien. I really wish people at work would stop bringing in treats ;o) I feel so tired lately. I'm so glad everyone's doing well, starting: 300 Now: 180 Dr. Goal : 170 (10 lbs left) My Goal : 155 (25 lbs left) Total lost: 120 lbs For those of you who had PS and had insurance pay for it: My ins great-west will pay for a breast reduction (I'm still a 38DD) but they won't give any information on an abdominiplasty. on the surgery part of the plan it states: "Other Reconstructive Surgery The Plan covers reconstructive surgery when the primary purpose is to improve function of the underlying structures or to restore large skin defects due to port wine stain. Surgery to correct significant congenital defects is covered only if the defect interferes with bodily function (not psychological function). Reconstructive surgery performed as a result of trauma or disease is covered when reconstruction begins within one year of the trauma or Illness (except for reconstructive surgery as a result of a mastectomy). Subsequent surgical reconstructive procedures integral or linked to the covered reconstruction, that cannot be performed within the year due to medical considerations, may be covered more than one year later, but only if the planning for these procedures (as noted in the Member's medical records) takes place within one year of the trauma or Illness." I'm thinking if I can get my chiropractor to help with a letter about my stomach muscles being a factor in my back problems and my PC dr doing a letter on rashes it should work. The part I'm thinking of is the "The Plan covers reconstructive surgery when the primary purpose is to improve function of the underlying structures (stomach muscles=back) " Any thoughts?? Thanks

Yes, I have an ulcer too. I got it because I started smoking after the surgery. I've quit but the damage is done. I take protonix for my ulcer once a day. It helps but if I forget to take it I'm in pain by the next day. I've got to stop drinking coffee and then if it doesn't clear up I'm going to ask for an endoscope.

Hey All I'd like to know where all these emails are, cause I haven't seen one??? Weird. I am here. I just never post or hang out anymore. I have been so busy at work and home I haven't had time to keep up with anything. I miss you all! My email address at work is [email protected]. Double check and make sure that is what you have.
