Topic: RE: Emblem Health (Hip) Insurance
I have HIP and my surgeons office called me within I think a week it was very quick I was not expecting it to go so quickly so I was completely off guard when the Dr's office called me with a surgery date.
Good Luck & hope they approve you soon,

Just signed my letter of consent and all paperwork will be sent to insurance company on Monday, hopefully for approval.. Does anyone have Emblem Health (hip) insurance. And if so, how long before you had approval.
Topic: RE: Scared and Anxious
I understand the why and all, I am actually a Registered Nurse. I think that when you are the professional, it just irks you more when your body doesn't agree with reason. I enjoyed the poem, and the support I get here, so thanks and keep it coming.

Dear Susan,
Again, what you are experiencing is TOTALLY normal.
PLEASE understand why your doctor wants you to lose the weight presurgery, then it will help you to succeed with this goal and next step.
Your liver is the first organ that quickly loses weight, so they encourage pre surgery weight loss to allow your live to shrink a bit, this way when they are operating, it is less likely to get NICKED. Also, if you begin losing weight before surgery and have the right proteins, etc. in your home, statistics show that you'll be more likely you will continue the pattern and be successful on your assigned diet.
Here is a poem that I discovered right here on OH several years ago, I wish I knew the author to cite him or her......I hope it helps you!
ALWAYS REMEMBER .....ACCOUNTABILITY+SUPPORT=SUCCESS!!!!
HUGS
START OVER!
If you've started out in pursuit of your goal
And you've really tried with your heart and your soul,
but somehow things got out of control ---
START OVER.
When you've tried your best to do what you should
And you thought this time that you surely would,
But once again, you didn't do good ---
START OVER.
When you've worked so hard to follow a dieter's way
And you fought to win a victory each day
But one more time you went astray ---
START OVER.
When you've tried so hard to yourself to be true
And do the things that you know you should do
But once again you failed to come through ---
START OVER.
When the road to success seemed much too long
And each temptation was oh so strong
And once again you gave in to wrong ---
START OVER.
When you've told your friends what you planned to do
And trusted them to help you through
But soon discovered it's up to you ---
START OVER.
When you know you must be physically fit,
But your hope seems gone and you're stuck in a pit
That's not the time for you to quit ---
START OVER.
When the week seems long and successes few
And at weigh-in time you're feeling blue
Remember tomorrow is just for you ---
START OVER.
To start again means a victory's been won
And starting over again means a race well run
And starting over again proves it can be done
So don't just sit there ---
START OVER.
