Good Monday Everyone,

Christmas will be here before we know it. Hope everyone is ready for a great and busy week. Mine is going to be filled with Dr. visits for myself and my hubby and lots of other things. Today I am grateful for support groups and encouragement that goes on in these meetings, family and friends, my health and weight loss surgery. Grateful for second chances in all areas of our lives and that God loves us and wants us to prosper and do well in life. Grateful for my faith in God and my church family. Grateful for forgiveness and love of others. Grateful for life. PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed day.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Survived clinic Christmas party and granddaughter's birthday party without too much harm being done. 

Went to bed when it looked like the Cowboys were going to blow a 21 point lead but wake up this morning to hear that they won!  Indianapolis should not be an issue next week.

Work and some exercise are today's docket.

Go do your thing.

Good  morning. 

I am off today and about to head out to do some shopping. Tomorrow is support groups Christmas party and than headed to Sulphur Bluff to visit Dad.

Have a great weekend! 

Good Friday Everyone,

Can't believe it is now less than 2 weeks till Christmas. This year has sure flown by quickly. We have so very much in our lives to be grateful for everyday. Today and everyday I am so grateful for my faith in God and for God in my life. SO grateful for the family that God has given me even though one of my son's is having issues at the moment due to his choices in life. I know that God is going to work this situation out for his good. Grateful for support groups, my WLS, friends and family, Obesity Help and all the amazing forums and the people answering questions and helping out others everyday. Grateful for all that I can do since my WLS 9 yrs ago. Please share if you will what you are grateful for today and have a blessed weekend.

Hi Natalie,

I don't have answers for you....the only thing I can say is call the individual companies and see what they will cover and won't cover.     Also if you don't already know this most bariatric surgeon's have cash pay prices that are greatly reduced and include everything.    Most also have a company where you can get a low or interest free loan ( It's like purchasing a car and paying a car payment ).   That could possibly be a solution for you if you can;t find affordable insurance that will cover it.    You are much too young sweetie to live at almost 400 lbs.    I'm praying that this happens for you.   I'm proud of you for wanting to change your life at such a young age.    Good luck to you.

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian
