Good going on the food journaling. It makes a very big difference in how we plan and execute a day's meals.

Please excuse my response here ... I have appointed myself the TRIO CHEERLEADER.

Rah, rah, rah .....Go, team, fight ...LOSE!

Onward (your friend and fellow soldier),

Topic: UHC (Choice Plus) and AT&T employees
Has anyone who is employed with ATT Wireless and have United Healthcare (Choice Plus) insurance been approved for WLS recently? I have been trying for the past 4 years to have WLS done, but there's an exclusion in the policy. I have had several doctors who have stated that the surgery is medically necessary, but I don't know how to go about submitting an appeals letter. If anyone has some ideas or suggestions, please e-mail as soon as possible.

No I never heard of that doc. Well, I saw my new family doc and he diagnosed me with hypertension and anxiety. I also, have migraines but, he thinks its associated with the anxiety and tension. I spoke to Devon and she was very happy to see me diagnosed with something and said it should make it easier for me to get approved. Thanks for the info though.

 

The game was a close one. Made my blood pressure rise. Very happy the  Saints decided to show up at the last min. ;)

Being in Pineville, you might have come in contact with country life a little. I grew up in the city, but with a country-soul. I guess that's why I loved my years in Pineville. Your statement reminded me of how farmers and wranglers keep horses so calm in the midst of chaos. They put blinders on them. Even when the horse can see straight ahead, those little masks protect them from the scary stuff all around them.

The Lord wants the same for us special woman given the honorable task of protecting our little ones. We focus on the babies or on the next step and try our best not to look on either side or look back. Just look ahead or close your eyes and be led my the power that called you to protect that child in the first place.

My baby has always been my inspiration, my motivation...my calling. It's scary and people will try to make you give up on yourself so you won't be disappointed again. I'm here to tell you that no one ever died of disappointment, but mothers died of heart disease, lung ailments, diabetes everyday.

Let's just put our blinders on and focus on the goals that will help us take care of ourselves and our little ones.

My best,
Frances

 i know that feeling....being alone.    i am alone.   i am a single mother.   even when i let my ex in just a little bit..i wind up being hurt....and i wish there were someone here who just can say,  "maybe if you just left it alone...everything would be alright.......even in the chaos of everything...maybe if you left it all alone.      it would be ok."   but i can't.....i just want to be healthy for me and for my baby.  my baby is what drives me.....i cannot die on him in my sleep or anything else like my mom died on me.

I was felt I was all alone ... I was MISTAKEN.

You are not alone and we have purpose, support and power to achieve our heart's desire.

Take care, my sister.

after reading this, i now have a better understanding of you now.

STOP letting people around you tell you what they think is best for you! i can understand your dad's concerns, but if you dont make life changes with your weight you can end up in the grave also. that's what i had to tell my boyfriend, that if i didnt take a chance with the surgery that eventually diebetes and high blood pressure would kill me.

you give off negative energy, because you seem to be surrounding yourself with nagative people. focus on all the positive things . . . like finding dr. steeb, getting your approval letter, and so on. just know that you are close to your first goal . . . having wls. and just take things one step at a time.

hey on the bright side, you could be the first woman on here to post about her post-op with dr steeb!

 crystal..you don't by chance have dr. patel as your pcp do you?  cause if you did...you can get him to write anything as far as co morbids.  i didn't  cause i had documentation from a "pay in cash" doc  cause i just don't like dr. patel, but in your case...he could be a help because he asks what you came in for and what you want him to do and as long as it isn't pain medicine...he does it.    just a thought.  hope you feel better and hope your baby is better.  

and the redskins CANNOT beat the saints.    i swear i will...i will.....set something on fire if the saints lose to the sucky old skins.    (not really,  but fire is a good thought...it's cold!)
