Check out my profile for pictures of MARINER OF THE SEAS from a cruise I did with my family in 12/04, and from just two weeks ago when I did an inspection tour for this year's CRUISE TO LOSE! Make sure you check out the pictures of the Royal Promenade, ROCK CLIMBING WALL(!!!!), 18-Hole Mini Golf Course, ICE SKATING RINK (again, !!!!!!) among other points of interest! The Royal Promenade has café’s and bistro’s, and Promenade Cabins overlooking the “main street” – these areas are actually “Inside cabins” retrofitted with a picture window overlooking the promenade! NO OTHER CRUISE LINE offers such a great, inexpensive alternative to what would otherwise be an “Inside”!! Each day there are various activities here, including parades, parties (70’s and 80’s parties, Mardi Gras, etc.), and while at sea, the shops along the mall are open for business!

~ Terri - Come on and CRUISE TO LOSE with us!
Have sugar free, non carbonated beverages to drink. You will be on clear liquids for 48 hours then drippy liquids such as thin mashed potatoes, soups. Get a kitchen timer and a baby spoon. Hope this helps. Mona It has been a long rough road , but as of yesterday I have a date. Thanks to everyone at Western Surgercial Group that helped me . August 21 st. that's the big day. I can't believe after three years of denials and heart ache it's finally happening. So I say to all of you that are waiting there is hope. I have a very strong faith and many times it was tested . But GOD doesn't make mistakes . Does anyone have any ideas on what I need to stock up on ? I want to be prepared when I come home. Bottled water, shakes , ETC ? if shakes what kind do you recommend? Are weigh****cher shakes o.k. I have a bunch of those and they are good.
All prayers are welcome !!!!
I'm now seeing Dr. Sudan in October.
Mona,
What prescription weight loss drugs are doctors suggesting now? I haven't heard about anything except the Xenical/Alli type. Is that it?
Rayjean Thanks for replying to my post....when I was seeing my bariatric surgeon, I had emailed him the pics that I took of a rash that was under my belly but the insurance company wouldn't look at the pictures. Plus, I spoke to my insurance company and medically necessary means life or death and so far I am still living.

That is so wonderful. Mona 
I finally got the nerve up this morning to call my surgeons and see if they have heard from insurance. They just got information yesterday that I was approved on the 27th. Yippee! I haven't got my date yet. They are supposed to schedule me and my grandmother together so I'm waiting to hear for sure what the date it. Should know within the next day or so. They told me they "thought" it may be Sept 11.
