Hello Out There To Everyone in Message Board Land!

No Mary I wish I did. I had to have a stress test on Monday so hopefully that will be it. I'm off to harrass my doc now to see if she faxed it.. Talk with you soon, Jamie

Hi Jamie, I had a friend that use to say,"The squeeky wheel always gets the oil". I have practiced that in my life and it does work Happy squeeking! Mary

Welcome to the board Mary! I am 5'5". I started with a bmi of 69. Currently my bmi is 61. Huggs, Ruth

Hi Ruth, Wow you are woman with massive patience. Talk about a Christmas present! I read your profile--you had an ordeal. I am glad it worked out for you!! I am having a few insurance heartaches myself--I hope it isn't too bad. I suppose time will tell... Mary

Hi Mary! Welcome to my very favorite board here at OH. I am 5'4" also and my BMI is 60.1....surgery date set for 4/18! Lisa L.

Hi Lisa, Congrats on your surgery date Your Mop pup is the cutest! I read your profile I have got to get myself together and put up some pictures of my cat. I only have one cat because that is all I can handle How long did it take BCBS to approve you? Mary

Hi Mary. Thank you. Mop had a very rough beginning in life (before we rescued him) but he is just a big ole baby. He is an utter flirt, too.....just loves women. BCBS approved me in two days, after they received all my paperwork. Lisa L.

Hi Lisa, WOW! BCBS is pretty quick--I hope it goes that fast for me I am still waiting for my HIPPA certificate--patience, patience, patience. I would love to have a dog but I got stuck with a cat She is okay and great company at times--I think she is more dog than cat. She comes to the door to say hello when I come home from where ever I have been--even if I've only been gone a short while Mary

Hi Deb, Nice to meet you too--sounds like you are doing well Thank you for your well wishes, Mary
