Hi Joyce,
Unfortunately not...I started my WLS journey with another program and they are not happy that i have switched programs and they are taking their sweet time faxing over my records to Banner and of course they have my psych eval that Banner needs before they can submit to my insurance. I have left message after message. It is very frustrating!
Yes I will see you at support group...I will be the one sneaking in late.
Happy Thanksgiving!

JOYCIE -- Ive had a rough week...So I waited till I heard good news - Mom recently had lung cancer and had part of her lung removed (recovered and doing well - not even chemo needed). And just as she was recooping.. Dad has had a series of heart problems .. he just recovered from aortic valve transplant -- SO Thanksgiving has an entirely different meaning to me tihis year than ever before.

Hey Miss Darcie!
I'm soooo sorry about your Mom and Dad! It sounds like there have been a lot of rough times lately....much to be thankful for when the storm passes and things look ever so much brighter!
You are amazing with your tight n tiny little self just keepin on in the industry supporting all of us!
There's a "brainstorming" supper at Mimi's in Chandler tomorrow night. Want to come? (6:30)...We could definitely use your creative input and draw from your vast experience! ..... I already have you penciled in (in hopes you'll be available and willing) to teach one of the workshops! (For Feb 13th AZ Event)
Hugggzz to your family and especially to your gorgeous kiddos!

I've been feeling pretty low for the last few days and don't know why...this post is a nice reflection on what is right in our world! Thank you, Joyce for the reminder!
I am thankful for ...my family and friends, my career, and my health!
Since WLS, I am able to...cross my legs, either direction, and bend over without feeing like I might pass out from oxygen drprivation!
I have lost...75 pounds!!!!
One thing I look forward to this Holiday season is...flying "home" to be with my son!
By the way, I live in Casa Grande and do not have a support group...could you suggest one and let me know when the next group meeting is?
