Hello and doing research.....gonna join everyone!

Welcome to the board. We are so glad to have you. we are friends here and we are always welcoming new friends to the group. feel free to ask questions, share stories, or just ramble if you need to. lol... I vent alot about the dr. office here.. everyone has been so encouraging in my plite with the dr office,, thanks ya'll. ...  when dealing with insurance I have a suggestion, ask and ask and ask if its covered. before you do all the pre-op... twice I did all the pre-op to be told after that it was excluded from the policy by the employer. so you need to check with the employer to make sure its not been excluded.

I will do just as you said. Has your insurance approved you yet? What is the plight with the Dr. office that you're having to deal with? Thanks so much for the warm welcome! If you haven't had your surgery yet, I'll be praying that it gets approved and going soon.

Hey Shelly, I can't stand it anymore. What is your avatar?

We live in a rural setting near Lake Thunderbird on our farm. I really enjoy birding and we have a really large Purple Martin colony, a small Bluebird trail, and other various nestboxes. This picture is of a mother Carolina Chickadee protecting her babies when I was doing a nestcheck a couple of years ago. I loved the picture and the message of parental devotion even in the face of perceived danger. So, that's it! BTW, I read your profile and your progress is wonderful!!! Congrats!!! Shelly

Thanks Shelly. My first inclination was that it had to do with a bird. I just love springtime when they start singing, It is the most beautiful form of nature. I see you are going to one of our seminars. You will absolutely love it at Weight Wise.

I'm looking forward to it! I'm scheduled for the 25th of this month. ; )
