*Whats Happening (for Jan) Tuesday~

Good Morning Board, This is too weird.....Like reading Jans posts in the morning-not writing it-LOL... I hope that the weather cooperated so that the picnic in Sedalia was successful and also hope that Julia got to make it or someone got to go and see her and find out whats going on with her. We got buckets of rain-lost satellite signal-and it did that for about an hour-since the rain, its been pretty nice-got to turn the air off and open windows. Jan-Hope they found out what was wrong with the car and that it is an easy fix-let us know.  How did the appt go with Dr. H? He was pretty proud of you-wasnt he? Yesterday was a busy day here. Marked a bunch of things for the sale-my mom had her appt with the surgeon, who told her that her pain was NOT from the tumor on her adrenal gland (I didnt think it was) and that it was less than 1% chance of being cancer. Not sure where we are going from here. She ended up in the ER last night and didnt get home until 3 am and I was so tired. Please say some prayers for her. thanks.

My anglette-Erin-didnt have a pain pump and was having a few issues with the nurses bringing pain meds. Felt bad-you will either have the best nurses up there-or less than desirable-so it sounded like she had the later of the two and told her to stay on them-send the hubby down and let him bug them-they will eventually get sick of seeing them and bring what you need. Im glad I had my pain pump-cause I definitely used it-LOL... My angelette Susan, well-she is scheduled this morning now again and something about a Dr. Johnson and not Dr. Scott? Didnt really understand what they were saying-but he works with Dr. Scott. I hope that she gets Scott for her surgery-I would want MY surgeon, that "I" have met with-being the one to do my surgery, not someone I dont know from Adam. Please pray for both of my angelettes today-thanks. Megan came over last night and we did a fitting with her dress and her shoes. She looks so pretty. Told her to stay on the diet though because one pound through the middle could do her in-LOL...Was afraid to unzip the dress for fear something was going to fly off and hit me in the face-LOL.... **Mel-good luck with the doc and testing today-please call me as soon as you know anything. I am praying for you and love ya. Im sorry about the problems with the FIL...That scares me to think of what would have happened had you guys not been home-or awake. Do you have any fire extinguishers there? I think I would buy 2 and put one in the kitchen and one in the hallway closet or bathroom? **Rachael-How is our little gal doing today? Did you get any rest staying home with her? I hope she is better-and you too-love ya **Cindy-what have you been up to? Yes, the psych (well, most of them anyway) do testing on us-I was lucky and got one that kept me almost 5 hrs and did every thing you can imagine and we are talking like geography and what if scenerios and such and got a little offended when I asked HOW that pertained to Bariatric surgery? Would have told her what a nut job SHE was, but didnt want her to fail me-LOL....you will be fine-we are the good kind of nuts...Let us know how it goes

**Chelle-I got your email-was in my bulk folder-and I responded yesterday and also got your email asking about the angelettes last names and room numbers-I dont have room numbers yet-but I left a voice mail on your cell phone about 20 minutes ago giving you their last names and explaining that Susan will be in surgery this morning. I hope you get to see them-and then get on and post and let us know how they were!! Good luck today in your class and I pray for safe travels for you! **Sherr-hows the date thing and guy going? Did you decide not to see him again or are you gonna give him another chance? I think maybe its not so bad with you being a planner and him not-MIke and I are that way...I have lists for everything and he flies by the seat of his pants-LOL...also-most bachelors I know anyway-arent all that organized-thats what they need us women for-  How is your dad? How was Fathers Day? I hope it ws good. I liked your pictures in your profile-you should have one taken with Dylan now...I bet he is really a giant next to mamma now, isnt he? Has Nuvell called you anymore?   **Rhianne-good to see you posting on the whats happening and hope you will keep doing so. Maybe the ins co can put a rush on that paperwork they are needing since THEY need it? You should already be assigned a reference number in their computer so that when they get the info-they can just add to it instead of starting over-you may call them first and see-so you can put that reference number on the paperwork when you send it - and see if you can get a name of whomever is doing the review? Good luck with that, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. **Tammy-hope your still doing good-let me know about that 5 week list if you need it or not and I will get it sent out to you. Congrats on the massive weight loss-thats wonderful. Well, peeps-Im gonna close and talk to you all later. Glad our Mamma J will be back today and take over tomorrow. MISS HER so much...All my love and prayers-Janet

Hi, Everyone what a great morning!!!! Janet I have been writing to you , but my computer is so messed up I'm lucky to reach anybody. Are you feeling better? Sorry everyone has been so icky!!!!! Hope this too will pass!!!!! I will be praying for all in or have had recent surgerys. you gave good advice to Erin, to call her husband, but personally, I would ask for Mom, now that's a lady that could get it DONE lol. Everyone have a great day, have to run, and cut some hair. By the way Janet, when are you coming to the city?LOL. BYE, Cindy

Good Morning Everyone:                Getting ready for my appt with my OB/GYN. Praying to GOD that he can tell me why I am hurting so freaking back. Yesterday was miserible. If I wasnt hurting I was sick to my stomach. Got up this morning and the pain was out of this world. Feels like someone has kicked me in my incesion area.  My lower back is hurting and all I wanna do is crawl back into bed and see if I cant  get rid of this pain. I think if I dont get any results from my Ob/GYN today. I am calling my PCP and filling him in on all the problems to see if there is something he can do. Everytime I have to got to the bathroom. I get the most horrunious pain in my belly button area. Dont know if that has to do with my bowl line being attached to my uterious or not. Just praying I get some answers today!!!!   So sorry to hear about Susan. But God works in mysterius ways. I will be keeping here and Erin in my prayers today.   Hope everyone is doing good. I will post later about what happened at the doc appt. God Bless Mel

Good morning OH Board,       I'm back from our vacation if you want to call it that. I stayed in that 24 ft. trailer for two days with a fever and coughing and ended up in the er in Mt. Home with pneumonia,so we cut our trip early and I went to bed.I went to my drs. for my 4th month diet and also for an x-ray to see how the pneumonia was doing and he said I got it good, so I'm on all kinds of meds this week.Bless my dear hubby and kids. He spent his vacation taking care of me which he said "It's what we do when our loved ones are sick." I cried for two days cause I screwed up his trip, but I'm getting over it now. To top it off,I'm 10 days late for my monthly ,so I'm thinking menopause has kicked in!! What next? I did lose a whole 4 lbs. being sick though. My total weight loss on this 6 month diet has been about 10 lbs. I still feel kinda weak ,but I will be at the meeting.       To all who had recent surgery...I hope all is well with you.I like the advice about getting mom to get the nurses moving. She must know my mother!!!LOL       Take care all and have a great day!!                     Connie

Good afternoon everyone!  I hope all the people who have had surgery over the past few days are doing well?  I know I have been struggling with depression mostly because I'm tired of waiting and waiting to get the ball rolling on my WLS.  I have submitted my paperwork and haven't heard anything from the office yet.  I think I would feel better once I get a date with the surgeon set up.  I did call and left a message at the office to see where I'm at or if I need to do something else?  I hope they call me back soon. I'm on my 2nd month of the Dr. Supervised diet and I have to say I am not doing very well with it.  I feel discouraged I think that is why I am slacking off.  I am committed to my WLS but I am just sick of all the hoops the dr. and the insurance people put you through.  It has taken me 4 phone calls to the insurance company to get an evidence of coverage letter sent to me and I still haven't received that the lady there says she is sending it and it will talk about WLS.  they did send me a summary of coverage but it had nothing in it about WLS so I had to call back and again I wait.... I wish I would have decided to do this long before now but maybe there is a reason I waited maybe it's a God thing? Well, I will try to be patient and wait this all out and hope that in the long run it will all be worth it!

Howdy Everyone.... Well we finally go****ered down this way...My poor flowers were in need of a good rain....I'm thankful we just got rain and not terrible storms!!!! Janet...I think you did a great job on the "WHATS HAPPENING"!!!!! I think Jan will be proud of you!!!  So how many anglettes you got left now??? We were all so lucky to have such a sweetheart for an ANGEL!!!! I know we have some newbies and it's about time to get them matched up with someone soon...I plan to be someones angel and hope I can do as good with them as you have with me!!!  I can't wait to see a pic of Megan in her wedding dress...I know she will be beautiful....I don't know what her father looks like but I think she favors you alot!  I'm sorry your having problems with the younger daughter....Hang in there..Your not alone....I may end up in jail for strangeling our younger one!!!!! If I hear I'm 17 and can do as I want one more time she might not have teeth left!!!! And this boy stuff makes me want to get duck tape and tape her up and put her in the closet lol lol..... Why in the world didn't Erin get a pain pump????? Who's her doctor???? Mel.....I hope they get something done for you soon!!! I hate to hear your feeling so bad!! Got you in my prayers.. For everyone else.....Been pretty occupied with my sister, daughter, neice and the three babies here so I've not had a lot of time to be on...but I do check on the post when I get the chance and got you all in my prayers....I hope your all doing good and hope to be back on the board more later this week....God Bless each of you...Big hugs...Tammy

Okay I am back from my doc appt. They did the internal altrasound. I was bawling by the time she got done. Then she told me to go back out and sit in the waiting room and the doc would be with me soon. So out I go and went to sit in the chair and just about the time I sat down. I come flying back out of hte chair. My hoo~ha was that sore. Anyways got in to see doc and he states that he is referring me to a specialist in Columbia that can take these masses out of me. That they havnet grown anymore but they are festering. No a good sign. Refilled my pain meds and actuall patted me on my hand and told me how sorry he was that e couldnt fix the problem. WOW!!! Trust me ask Janet this doc isnt a touchy feelly sort of person at all. So him showing me some compassion kind of scared me. So right now I am just waiting for the doc in Columbia to call and set up an appt with him/her. Then we will talk about getting this out of me. Thanks for allllllll the prayers!!!!! Love ya Mel

its good to read about all of those newbie loosers. gives me inspiration to hang on for one more week and than I too will be there with them. I look forward to meeting some yall on  Monday night.  Janet has graciously offered a ride and I have accepted! tysvm! Mel so sorry to hear about all those female issues...it will get better. why send you to Columbia? we enjoyed a very nice and sunny day...good for swimming. I was able to take the grandbaby and the neice brought her kids over also...those little ones sure had a great time and wore this poor fat nannie out so much I had to have a nap. I look forward to next summer when it wont be sooo exsauhsting to take 3 lil ones swimming. Have a great Day or Evening nutti

HEY!!  I get to meet ya on Monday!! :-D    How's the liquid diet going??  Haven't heard from ya so I hope all else is well...

HEY HEY MO Board!!!  I hope all is well....things here are.... Well, insurance called and said they STILL haven't received my Psych Eval (it's been faxed like 3 times)....AND they need my 6 month diet documentation.  Well, my doctor is out of town so I can't get a letter from him until next week.  I did however call his office (crying I might add) and talked to his nurse and she's getting me the dictation from Dec 19 through June 1 in which he talked about diets and me going to see a nutritionist AND to get the dictation from my NUT visits...SO...I'm hoping this will work b/c if not I'll have to go in FIRST thing Monday morning to see my DR and get him to write me a letter and get insurance BACK on the ball since I'm leaving for vacation next Wednesday and will be gone for a while. Ugh, what a struggle, but I have to just keep telling myself that it will ALL be worth it in the end.  My DF and I went and bought a treadmill yesterday!  It took about 2 hrs to get it all together (so I hope we like it and don't wanna return it!), but finally got it all together this morning AND I walked for 35 mins.  I know, doesn't seem like a lot, but I didn't consider it too bad for my first day. Janet~You did a grand job on What's Happening so don't fret for sure!  I appreciate the welcome and I will definitely do my best to keep up with everything....I look forward to getting to know everyone so that I can respond to them and such and not look like a "silly newbie".  I am more than 99% sure I'll be at the COF meeting on Monday soooo...I will look forward to meeting some of ya'll!  I am glad to hear that things with Erin are going better (after reading your later posts), and she's still in my prayer list....I'll probably try to give her a call tomorrow afternoon, wanted to give her some time to recoup a bit before I called.  Sorry to hear about your mom, I will for sure keep her in my prayers! Jan~Hope all is going well, and definitely will look forward to you coming back to us!! Nutti~Hope all is going well for you on the liquid diet. I hope everyone else is doing well as well, and I'll see ya'll tomorrow :-D Rianne
