Topic: Lovely Rainy Roll Call
I love sitting out on my porch watching it rain with my coffee.  I just love porches.  The only time it is not pleasant is in the evening when the sun shines directly onto it.  That's what I get for a house facing west.  Today is another day at home.  I'm going to have to avoid my meetups due to gas issues.  This is a week of faith, miracles and hope. 

What is on your agenda?

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

I'm so sorry that is going on. There always seems to be the people that can't be happy for others. It's hard but just stay away from that negative thinking. Good things are coming your way!!

Sorry that happened to you. Hopw frustrating! On the other hand, thyroid probelms are not to be taken lightly. Theyroid also has a lot to do with your mental health. Best you be in as good shape as possible in that regard before the surgery. There will defininatly be hard times ahead emotionally and you don';t want anyhting else bringing you down. I sure hope the process goes quickly for you form here out.

Proudtobe...

I'm that excited about going to schedule my surgery next week!!!  Depending on how long the date will be from when it's scheduled, like Maggie says above, I imagine it will seem excruciatingly slow, as it may seem for you now!  After seeing all the before and afters, I'm ready to hop up on the OR table...Each day that goes by you're closer than you were... ; )

Topic: Stupid Thyroid !!!
Well I was on the fast track to approval, or so I thought , when I get a call saying that my thyroid level was just slightly below the normal range.  So I had to call my PCP to get a prescription for Synthroid and that should bring it up to normal levels in about two weeks or so.  Per the Nurse, they cannot submit paperwork to insurance for approval with below normal thyroid level.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I have no other comorbidities except for GERD.   Thanks in advance for any input.  I guess two weeks in surely not going to put a big wrench in things, I guess I was just excited about everything else going so smoothly!!

9 days! Woo Hoo, the countdown is on. I remember how excited I was as well but I still felt thew last few days went by toooooo sloooooow. Hope you keep yourself busy and keep being excited. The nervousness will hit every now and again but you've been waiting and preparing for this for so long. Make sure you send us all a reminder on the day before surgery so we can all have you in our thoughts.
