Topic: Place to buy good sports bras? (store, not online)
I like high quality sports bras, especially for running and cardio classes.  Normally, I buy my sports bras online.  However, now that my size has changed so much, I'm willing to pay a little bit more, to get them at a store where I can try them on.

Does anyone know where I can buy the following types of sports bras, in a store, in the metro area?
- Enell SPORTS bra (size 0 or 1?)
- Moving Comfort - Maia (size 36 or 38 C or D?)

Thanks!

Topic: Minnesota medicaid/problems
I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with Minnesota Medicaid? It has been about a month since my doctors office sent my records off to the insurance company. I have met every qualification. When I called to see what the hold up was I was told that Minnesota Medicaid office was very behind. They didnt know how much longer it would be until I get my preapproval for surgery. I am getting frustrated and was wondering if anyone had experienced this same problem or if anyone had any ideas on how to speed things up?

Topic: Ins...
Ok I am honestly pissed off at the Ins lady at abbott she has now messed up my approval 2 times!!!First she sent my approval off and i got a approved for a lab band..she sent the wrong code to them, then she recalls when i was the one to notice this and gives them the right code, so i wait another week and have not herd so i called my Ins company and beth once again messed up and did not resend my paperwork with the DS code. They wanted a second round of paperwork. This women is killing me here. My surgery is in 15 days and on the books and she can't even get it RIGHT!!!!!!! Good thing once they get the correct paperwork it only takes 4 days but they need the right stuff. Anyone have problems like this at Abbott?

I went through PNC starting a few years ago. I first went to an info session and wanted the Lapband 2 years ago, but then I chickened out and put it off for a bit.  I went to another info session (as stuff can become outdated if you do not act fast enough) and met with Dorothy the Coordinator.  I took my husband this time and she was amazingly helpful and I settled on the sleeve.  Thanking my lucky stars I actually chickened out the first time!

I have had nothing but WONDERFUL experiences at Meadowbrook with Dr. DeMattia and her staff, and the nutritionists and then my surgery with Dr. Jones on January 13th of this year.  The only weird snafu was that they originally told me 6 months of NUT visits and such then I found out that MY PARTICULAR insurance did not require it or even cover more than 3 LIFETIME NUT visits. So I had my surgery 3 months early.  Yippee! 

But yah, I really like how they take care of me.  Shareen is my favorite NUT too.

Topic: RE: S of the River Coffee - Eagan?
Good Morning!

We would LOVE to see you on Saturdays!  We are an informal group; there are no leaders, nor topics. Just show up, start talking and see where it leads.  I always leave feeling focused, knowledgeable and sometimes leave with clothing or food samples. We love to share!  The group alternates between Panera at the BVL mall and the Caribou in the Eagan Byerly's. We meet at 8:30 am on Saturday mornings for about an hour. Feel free to come and leave when time permits.

Here is a meeting schedule for March:

03/03 - Eagan
03/10 - BVL
0317 - Eagan
03/24- BVL
03/31 - Eagan

I try and write the alternating days on my calendar, for I have been known to show up at the wrong location!  Unfortunately, I will be unable to meet you in Eagan this Saturday, but look forward to seeing you in BVL on the 10th!

Welcome!

Mary-Margaret (MM is shorter to type...)

Hello:
I live in Shakopee/Prior Lake and today at my 9 month appt. Liz my nutritionist gave me information on your group.  I am looking at being involved with a group.  I had surgery last May and would like to get more information about your meeting times and places and if you are allowing more people to come.  Thank you!

Topic: Cambridge, MN Images Support Group Cancelled for Tonight

I'm canceling tonight's Cambridge Images Meeting for tonight and moving it to Thursday, March 1st at the same time and place. I've been watching the weather, trying to gather what we're in for, but the bottom line is, the weatherman doesn't know how this is going to track and what we'll ultimately get. I'm not so worried for folks going there, but the weather sounds like it could get nastier in the evening when we leave to go home. I hope I'm being overly cautious and everyone is safe tonight on the roads! I hope everyone can make it Thursday...I am very excited to meet you all!

Stay warm and dry,

Heidi

Topic: RE: The post-Oscars, she wore THAT dress weigh-in
Good Morning!

For the most part, I seem to stay about 130, which by my Surgeons figures is a loss of 100% of my body fat. My mirror says different, but I cannot trust this brain. I mean, it didn't think I was fat at 294, and so NOW it's telling me I am fat?  I feel good. That is what counts. 

If I honestly answer the questions, they all get a Yes/No - and that is far too ambiguous for even me!

I have a cold and can't figure out if I am retaining fluid or what, so it is time to be diligent in tracking to see if I am fooling myself.  Good/Bad News: The snow is coming and I shovel = more activity!

Bottom Line:
SW: 294
Last Week: 130.2
This Week: 132.2
Loss/Gain: +2.0
Total Amount: -161.8
(That's the number that keeps me focused/motivated!)
