Nothing is cooking at our house today...lol! I cooked breakfast, scrambles eggs w/cheese and sausage and that is it for today. I have cooked every night this week except Wednesday, we had leftovers. It is "fend for yourself" night at our house. My son and his girlfriend are going out so it will just be hubby and I. I am thinking Subway would be a great option. I really like their oven roasted chicken salad. I haven't had one in a while. Need to add more salads back into my diet. Hope everyone has a good Friday and a great weekend.

I just posted a blog about body image.  I hope you will take the time to read it.

Dr. Avara put a Realize Band in me this past Tuesday.  I've been very happy with him and all the support from his office during this journey.  Please feel free to send me a message if you'd like more information.

Thanks,

Jen

I have Tricare Prime, we utilize the Air Force Base physicians, but get referrals out to see who we want to see when we need to.  When my initial referral was done to Dr. Clements, it was written up as General Surgery - Morbid Obesity with multiple co-morbidities....I was approved up-front.  I talked to Tricare about two weeks ago to see if a follow up psyche appointment was approved and they told me yes and that I had been approved for surgery.  So, I am thinking I was approved out the gate.  My Primary Care Physician (who just quit his job at the base) told me that getting contouring done will be a snap, but it has to be documented (i.e. infections of the skin, rashes, etc.)

Hey Phyllis,
Stay dry and have a good day.
