Hello Everyone

Hi everyone!  I have been out of sight for a while now.  I don't think that I have turned on my computer at home for about a month now.  I must admit that I am enjoying it.   I am 6 months out and down 78 pounds which I'm happy with.  My bmi is now down to 39, so I am no longer considered morbidly obese...yeah! Dh finally went thru everything that he needed to to get approved for surgery.  They submitted the paperwork to insurance on Monday and he heard on Wednesday that he was approved.  Michelle from the Kane center said that was the fastest response that she ever received.  He is going to wait a couple of months to schedule surgery. He has been out of work for a month now and was looking forward to starting a new job this Monday.  Last Tuesday night he was in a lot of pain, but he refused to go to the acute care.  He went to the dr Wednesday morning only to be told it was his appendix.  It turned out only to be stomach problems, but he was hospitalized for 4 days and he is still feeling a little down.  He will be starting his new job now this coming Monday. I read today posts.  Everyone looks great with their new pictures.  I hope everyone is having a great summer.  I am on vacation next week and look forward to doing nothing.   ~Michelle

I was starting to wonder where you were.  I was going to call you today on my way home.  Tell your sweetie congrats on the approval.  How is your daughter doing getting ready for college?

I think Nicole is just enjoying summer.  She got her first job working in the deli at the local grocery store and is really likeing that.  How have you been doing?

Hi Michelle! It's good to "see" you here again!  I was beginning to wonder what happened to you after seeing you at the ball game!!  Glad that things are going well.  I'm sorry to hear that your dh had problems, but it sounds as if he's on his way to a new life.  Let us know when his surgery is when it comes time!!

Dear Michelle: It is so nice to "see" you again.  I am glad to hear things are working out for your family. Tell Nicole that Liv says, Hi!". Try not to be such a stranger and let us know when your hubby gets a date so that we can keep him in out thoughts!

Will do guys.  Thanks for all of your support ~Michelle
