Good morning all, this is the shingles lady checking in. I am pre-op waiting for approval after appeal letters sent to insurance. Boy when I got the news last week of denial, it sent me into another level of dispare and I came down with shingles. I will not give up and some day WLS will happen. I read the message boards 3-4 times a day and helps me through and you all have great advice that I look forward to daily! Thank you for all the support out there and I hope to join you on the loosing side! lucy

Hi Lucy OUCH! Shingles that's a bummer, I know what you are going threw, I had them right after Sept 11th and it was no picnic..... I understand about the denial, I was denied 3 times and fought for a long time and so did many other here, but the thing is you just can't give up and yes it will happen for you....as long as you hang in there and believe this is the right thing for you to be healthier and happier in your lifestyle.....We are all here for you.... So glad you joined us for roll call...and hope to see more of you.... Have a great day sweetie Christine 346/231/?

Good Morning Christine Let's see what changes have I seen in the past two weeks post-op. Hmmm - Other than changes in my eating habits and losing 20#'s, I don't see any changes yet. Good luck at the doctors. Hope your swollen toes get better. Post and let us know about your other foot surgery. I took my vitamins, am sipping my water and getting ready for my walk. Have a great day!!! Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. {{{{HUGS}}}} Brenda

Hi Sunshine Well just your eating habit and 20lbs Congratulations Brenda that is wonderful and it was not easy to change, but due to all the reseach and denials you were so ready to jump in and make thoughs changes... Glad to hear you are taking your vitamins and water, enjoy your walk you will be suprised how far you will go in a short time keep up the good work sweetie Christine 346/231/?

Well if you want to know the truth. I am having a day from hell already. I woke up this morning and cant stop vomiting and using the Bathroom. To boot Im at work because I couldnt take off because my partner stubbed his toe and called in sick. Then my Boss came to me and said I better come back to work very fast after my Surgery or he will male my life Hell when I get back. To add to it I read about what happened to Cesar L who by the way had several of the same issues before Surgery that I have not to mention the same exact weight. So Im am stressing and cant wait to go home at 3pm. Besides all that Im having a wonderful day. LOL

Hi Louis Sorry to hear your having a rotten day......I didn't tell anyone at work what kind of surgery I was having cause I know how people talk and I choice not to talk about it with them still even since I lost 120 lbs nobody know at work and as for my personal life only my hubby, mother, sister and best friend know what I did.....and as I continue to see people having these difficulties at work with their bosses and co-workers I know I did the right thing....by staying shut.....it is hard not to talk about it cause it is what we are focused on...... I do hope your day gets better and if your boss thinks this is the easy way out for you tell him/her all that someone has to go threw before be able to be considered for WLS.... here are some {{{{{{hugs}}}}}} for you and I hope you feel better really soon....

Hi Christine - Wowie, congrats on those stats! You're really a big loser, huh? I managed to get myself back to the gym today...I've been AWOL for a month now. My excuse is all the hours I've been putting in at work and that I'm just too tired...so I wrote in my profile I'm committing to getting back and that kept me honest today. I always have soooo much more energy after I work out...that extra hour of sleep I give up comes back threefold...I know that, and I tend to lose sight of it. Changes I hope for include fitting into my current clothes better, and ultimately moving down in size. And fitting into plane seats better - I almost passed out when I learned I may be flying to our Miami office with some of the IT team...I don't mind, ok, I hate, wedging myself into a plane seat, but the moritification of doing in front of my co-workers is just killing me. I may not have to go until the beginning of the year, which I hope will be a completely different scene. Thanks for roll call! Mary Mc
