I was planning to go help my sister move, but her plans got postponed and she isn't going to be moving until Thursday so I could have gone tonight. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about her plans until too late to be there tonight.

How was the support group? I'm sure it was great!

Topic: OT: Adult Adoptees

I need help on a research paper for school. If you are an adult adoptee (or know someone who is), I need at least 50 people to take my survey for school. I could not find any previous research on my topic and need help now. Thank you in advance. Here's the link:

Topic: RE: MEDICAID AND MEDICARE SURGEONS LIST!

i live in sioux city ia and i found dr mcbride down in omaha, she wwill doing my surgery next month, so far from her first impression she is a great person and her staff is great also. you have to first sit through one of her seminars fillout there info packet sendin with insurance card. with medicaid you have to have your family dr monitor your weight for 6 months, then see phycologist, my dr sent me to a therapist, that was the wrong one, i saw dr baker in soiux city when you get all that done send mcbride your packet, dr file for the last 2 years years, and results from psychologist, thenyou normally get a answer in about 2 weeks.

i hope this helps anyone, this was my experience with using medicaid to get my surgery done, i wish someine had told me the steps wheni started, i think i would have had it done a long time ago.

Yo Peeps,
Went to Cedar Falls to have my consult on Friday. Went swimingly! Everyone is sooo nice, I love insurance Kim she's a doll. Got to have a few words with Dr.Matt too, just so happened he was in his office grinning as I walked by, I took the oppertunity and ran with it! Kim said we could submit for approval in August, probably schedule in September holy cow!! Come on September!

Topic: Free Protein! Who Wants Free Protein?!

I am having a product giveaway on my website. Is it a shameless ploy to get visitors?

HECK YEAH! But who cares! It's a chance for FREEBIES!

Three lucky winners are surely going to hit it big!! I am talking, wonderful protein jackpot!

Before I hit the rules, here is what three lucky winners will receive:

A case of Labrada On The Go Ready to Drinks, AND a case of Rock'N Roll bars! OH MY GARSH! I am so jealous! All products will be sent directly to the winners from the Labrada company.

"Did she say a CASE of BOTH?" Yes, she did!

Here is all you have to do:

from Sunday, April 5th at 12:01 am UNTIL Sunday, April 12th, 12:01 pm, every person who makes a comment on my website to any post, or sends me an email will be entered for the drawing. You don't have to go into elaborate details of your surgery or life if you wish not to... (for you shy folks) but on Monday, April 13th, I will hold the drawing for 3 lucky winners. Yes, 3 LUCKY WINNERS! http://recoveringfatty.com

Good luck. Gosh I love giveaways.

Topic: RE: Tooting My Horn!

Thank you everyone. I am really amazed how much I've lost and because it's been lost since October, it doesn't seem that I have been working at it this long. I am so glad I had the RNY done and am getting my health back. I don't feel 53 and most people who know me well would tell you I sure don't act it either.

Thanks again, everyone!

Topic: RE: Wish me Luck

Thanks so much for all the words of encouragement!! Trying to keep myself busy so the time will fly by. I did leave a message with my case manager on Friday just to make sure she got everything so if she feels something is missing it is gathered quickly rather than waiting a few weeks only to find out something is. I'll try not to be a pest!!!! If this weather would realize it is suppose to be spring not winter time would go by much quicker. Take care everyone!!

Wowzer Carol, great job. With spring in the air, (I wish) just think as your outside doing yard work or whatever how much easier you will get things done. I picked up a few bags of mulch the other day and with what you have lost it would seem like walking around all day carrying 2 bags around. Isn't it mystifying how we carry that weight day in and day out. Keep up the good work and by all means toot your horn!!
