5/12/11 Weigh-In
Sorry again ladies, I'm in finals week (and a half) and life is crazy......is it really Friday?? So I tried to log on as quickly as I could this morning to put up the weigh-in post.
I gained 0.5 lbs this week. Granted, it is only 0.5, but I am pissed!
. I know it is probably because of the stress of finals, but I hate seeing the scale go up....again!
I have my graduation next Thursday and am looking forward to having time to concentrate on me. I'm going to start some water aerobics classes at the Y and also my friend attends a 'bootcamp' style training on the weekend, so I'm going to give that a shot too. Should be fun.....uhm, not! LOL

I weighed 277 Thursday AM and 281 in the PM. I am slipping back to my yo-yo weight. I found out in my labs that my Vitamin D level is very low so I have to take mega doses and retest levels in August. I freaked out and called positive choice to find out if this would derail the progress towards surgery. Not to worry, it doesn't but I haven't heard anything this week. Good luck with finals.

I got a letter today stating that my vitamin D levels are low too. It said that a perscription has been placed for me and that I'm to retest around the same time as you.
I'm glad you asked them if that would cause any problems for surgery. I'd hate to have it cause a delay.
Haven't heard anything else at this time either. Just sitting and waiting, althought I'm thinking of calling through to Positive Choice to see how long it will take for the authorization to come through.

I got a letter when I got home yesterday from Kaiser confirming the referral to Hillcrest Surgical Group. Instructions said that if PCB hadn't called, to call a number to set up an appointment. I called this morning but was told my packet from Kaiser hadn't arrived and to check back in a couple of days. Frustrating but closer!
OH MY GOSH... that is AWESOME!!! You must be excited, you are almost there!
It looks like based on past events, you are approximately a week, to a week and a half ahead of me. I'll keep an eye out for the letter too.
I'll be doing the same thing as you, calling PCB constantly so that they will be sick and tired of me calling and just push me through to get rid of me!
It's all happening now!
