Im Back

I was off for a couple of months. My husband lost his job at the beginning of Fed. so thinking about having to come up with $1300 per month for Cobra was a nightmare.  We had dropped our insurance, therefore surgery was out of the question

Well, now that the Cobra plan has been stimulated, I have decided to forge on with my surgery.  We are able to pick up our Cobra at the reduced rate. Yeah!!

I have my surgeon appt on the 19th of May. Hopefully he will be able to get me on the books very soon after since my ins. approval only runs til the 6th of June.

Welcome back and good luck!   Were you approved in February?

I was actually approved in December. I was working on getting my required weight off when my husband got laid off. I has my appt scheduled with my surgeon 2 weeks later. Cancelled it.
Its ok, I still need to drop about another 6 or so lbs (I stopped trying to lose for a while).

Good luck to ya and welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back.  Who are you going through for surgery?  How much are they having you lose before hand? I see you 've already lost some, so that's good! :-)

I will be at Unity Hospital. I have to lose about 20lbs. I don't think my ticker is up to date.  I'm down about 13lbs right now. I kind of got off track when my husband lost his job. But all is well now and I am very confident I will be able to drop the last 6-7lbs by the 19th of May.

13lbs is great, you're 2/3 of the way there!
