ROLL CALL - March - DE Board

Hi everyone Great idea Tammy I am in a much better mood today! I have taken some great advice, of getting together as much information as I can to re-submit to the insurance co. I got on the main message board and someone told me to submit the weigh****chers book were it shows your weekly weight, I am sure I have some of those around. I also talked to Dianne from Dr's office, she still wants to put my date back a couple weeks and she is going to get back with a date. I am ok with that because she explained if I keep April 6 and find out insurance won't budge, I may have to wait for a much much later date, because she said they fill up fast! So I do feel alot better today! Dana

Glad to hear that Dana!!! Please keep us posted. Hugs, Tammy

Hello All! I am here too. Took the day off today, I took a little spill yesterday at work, and hurt my knee, so I am taking it easy today. Been busy being an angel, my best friend had her surgery on Monday, and is doing well. Good Idea Tammy! Great way to keep up with everyone. Hugs. Michelle

Michelle, How is your knee doing? I sure feel for you ... it was really hard for me when my knee hurt ... knocked me out of doing most everything. Hugs, Tammy

Hey Tammy! I am feeling alot better now. I had my hunny rub some ben gay on there, and kept it up for a few days , and it seems to be ok. I was really scared when I fell, I thought I heard a crack, but I guess not . Thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it. I am still hanging in here, my consult is 8/28. It's taking forever to get here! I am actually thinking about consulting another surgeon, because of the wait. Hugs. Michelle

Hello Everyone, Let's just say I've been on the move with many appts. But doing great! Since I last chatted I've had been to PMRI 3 times which went fine......visited with the Cardiologist (he passed me), Plumonoary Dr. pending my 2nd Sleep study (I do have Sleep Apena) and had blood work done and found I out I was boarder line diabetic (which the WLS) will take take care of that so the Dr. said.....Therefore, all I have left is the 2nd sleep study (March 29th) and the EDG (sp?) which is scheduled in April.....No surgery date yet......I don't expect any surgery before July. Good news in one week I lost 6 1/2 pounds.....running around I guess. All is well here....taking one step @ a time here. Just waiting my turn turn to be a "loser".....Still researching information. God Bless. Take Care P.S. I am testing protein bar.....ugh!!!! Haven't found any good ones yet any suggestions? Shay a/k/a Snuggles

Shay, Congrats on the weight loss!!! As far as protein bars go ... I like the Triple Delicious Bar, Revolution Bar, and I just tried a GREAT new bar Tri-O-Plex (peanut butter choc chip). I bought all of these from Carb Busters and they are all great IMHO. I also LOVE the Power Crunch Peanut butter cream. I also like the Slim Whey, and Odyssey Bars. I buy them from bariatriceating.com. There is also a protein cookie that I think is wonderful that I buy at Carb Busters - I like the Trail Mix flavor, they have other flavors but I have not tried them yet (banana nut, lemon, choc chip, etc) If you go into Carb Busters, Ed usually lets you taste test before you drive/buy. You can buy samples of the other bars through bariatriceating. Best wishes finding what you like. Hugs, Tammy

Better late than never... I'm here. Happy to see everyone on board. I'm still hanging in there. Taking classes at DelTech and taking that PMRI Life Skills class too. I quit smoking on Monday (3 days) and a little tense. You have to lose weight in the GB Life Skills class, hope I can do it and not smoke, too. Well, I'm sure I'll do it -- I am SuperWoman, afterall. Had my EGD, piece of cake (pardon the pun). I think I'm all cleared now except for this class. Waiting on May 4th. The kids start baseball soon. That always keeps me busy, too. Love to all, Dianne

Hey ya SuperWoman ... how are things going with the grumpiness and quiting smoking and all? I was kinda surprised to hear you had taken that title ... cause all these years I thought that I was Super Woman!!! Oh well ... *sigh* Guess I will have to come up with some other Super Title!!! For a while there I was concerned that my title may be Super Plateau Woman!!! Glad I don't have to wear that title anymore!!! Hugs, Tammy

Well looks like I am briniging up the rear-again! Cathy- a late happy birthday- hope it was a great one. I am going for my pre-op blood work tomorrow morn and I see Dr. I mid day. I have a cold so please keep your fingers, toes and eyes crossed that they won't postpone my surgery set for the 22nd!!!
