Hey all you Losen Hot Mama's !!!
I just wanted to say that I have spent many hours reading everyone's profiles. You all really inspire me. Hopefully things will get moving this week for me. I go to Dr Clark's office tomorrow to take a computer test..Hopefully some paperwork will be sent to Tricare Standard..or whatever they need to do. I am sooooooooooo ready to take this leap.
Cuz I wanna wear my sexy party dress and go out with you guys too !!!!
Hugs,
Dana
No no no, Dana!!! It says right here in the Weight Loss Handbook - Page 13, paragraph 3 .....if you go out PARTYING with us (old chicks) you are NOT allowed to wear anything sexy. Instead, you may choose from a tan, beige, or brown Tater sack, with matching shoes - of course!
[we at least recognise the need for variety, hence the colors] 
Welcome to the VA-Board!! We can never have enough friends in this struggle to get healthy and stay thin - strength in numbers, ya' know?
Hey? It looks like you're a local too - im also in VaBeach. Hubby and I are supposed to be in route to the boardwalk to go biking - but we're both starting to wimper about the cold. LOL, okay - me MORE so then him, but it still merits the same conclusion. I betcha we go shopping instead!!
Have a great Sunday - nice to meetcha' - oh, and KEEP POSTING!
Hugs - Lei Hey Dana,
I too go to Dr Clark's office, but I am using Dr Terracinia for my surgeon. The ladies in the office are so nice. I took my computer test and had my psyc eval on Jan 11th. They put in for the ins approval. Now I just wait. Waiting is the hardest. Hopefully Tricare moves faster than Empireblue. They told me it could take up to 2 months for an approval. Well, we are both on our way to a healthy new us. Maybe I will see you at the support group. I am not sure when they meet, but I know I have to go to one before the surgery. Take it easy.

Awwwwwww !! Thanks for those kind words. You truly are a Tinkerbell !!!
I am sure I will be asking you about your weight loss tips. I read one of your posts where you told someone that they needed to keep their PRO up to 120gms a day to lose weight. I still haven't gone to the nutrition class for Dr Clark..but the book I have from PNH says 50-60. That doesn't even seem to be enough for wound healing..but I am not sure.
You guys who have gone through this are the experts !! I struggle to lose because of severe, hard to control hypothyroidism topped off with a sweettoothaholicism ( If that isn't a word we need to make it one !!! ) So I look forward to getting some suggestions from the Pros here.
Hugs back at ya !!!
Dana
and congratulations on taking your life back!! This surgery is nothing short of amazing, if you work with your tool correctly! Dont be a stranger, you will have a thousand questions throughout your journey, and we are all here for you!!
