Lets get going

I so wish this group was more active!  We live a different life style that many people just don't get.  Even just the news of recent events scared me.  Not only that threat cons are raised but that I would go into an emotional eating crazy glued to the TV trying to get every bit of news I could.  DIDN'T HAPPEN!  Went to ZUMBA instead.  Shocked myself!  Even sitting at the gate for 15 mins waiting to get home yesterday didn't stress me enough to eat.  Maybe this whole surgery thing is going to work!  3 moths post op, down 73 pounds, but still learning to deal with life.

 Hi Donna!  

I agree I wish more of us would post here. I still pre-op (seminar & 1st support meeting is tomorrow), but I would love to be able to interact with other spouses.  

I've heard so many good things about Zumba.  I have to go but the game for the kinect.  I figure I'll do it home in the beginning until I get up the nerve to actually do it in front of people lol.

73 lbs!!!  Congrats girl!!!

Are you required to do three support group meetings?  That was the only reason it took me three months to get thru the approval process.  I was lucky enough to get all my other stuff done really fast.  Have not been to a meeting since surgery but plan to go this month.  Zumba is way to fast paced for me but my teenage girls love it so, I will doit if it will keep them active and healthy and prevents them from ever being in the potion I was in.

I only have to do 2 meetings.  I did one yesterday.  They have them twice a month so that's the least of my worries.  Right now I'm waiting for them to verify my insurance (umm I have a referral to them so why do they need to verify anything?) so I can get the initial consultation.  And from what I've been told he's already booked through June.  So I already see this is going to be long and drawn out unnecessarily.

...what do you have Tri-care Standard or Premium? I have Tri-care standard and they told me all I have to do is find a DR. that accepts tri-Care. Got my initial consult this Thursday..and I PRAY it's not gonna be some long drawn out process!!  Where r u all located?  I'm here in Arizona..husband is currently on the Arizona/Mexico border mission.
