Topic: Fab Tuesday Roll Call
Hi all

It is great to say hi.  Yesterday was a very busy 12 hour day.  I am not sure that I want to have these all the time.  I have a big decision to make.  I either take the new job with tons of typing all day or keep this on and off long days at Hallmark.  I have an appointment with my VR counselor today so I will discuss this with her.  I have to do some studying.  I need to get focused.  Question, how do you get focused when all this crap is going on in your mind.  Yikes..

Have a good day all.

Topic: Medicaid
I just got approve for medicaid. How do I start the process of getting the surgery? I know there is a 6 months diet. Where do I start? its like I got medicaid and I know it will be hard to get them to approve but who do I see first? My BMI is over 40. I have sleep apnea but is that enough

Topic: RE: The Wait
 thank you so much for the advise. i am almost to that point. i call on a weekly basis trying to get and up date on what i need, as of today i am waiting on my psychologist to send in my evatluation and then they can send the paper work to the insurance company. the funny thing is i bet i will have to have it sent more than once. Most of the paper work i have had sent over had to be faxed 3 times......

I will take your advise and ask my psychologist to send me a copy of the evaluation so that i can send my copy to the dr office if they can't seem to get it. I will actually send her an email now. thanks....

Topic: Pre-Op Tomorrow!
 I am a little nervous about tomorrow's Pre-Op!  I don't know why--I've been lurking around here for months and I think I've read every word on this site!  I guess the reality of it all is setting in that this is really going to happen and the "new" me is going to emerge soon.  I have a 10 day liquid diet coming up and am wondering if any of you have any suggestions?  (Surgery isn't until Nov. 4)

Thanks,
Lori

Topic: RE: Charlotte, NC
 I am actually waiting for my paper work to be sent to the insurance company. i spoke with my Doctor and they told me the only thing they are missing out of my paper work is my psychological evaluation which i did about 2 or 3 weeks ago. so as soon as my doctor's office receives the information from my evaluations i guess i wait on the approval. the wait is driving me crazy. what Dr office is Dr. Jon Pirrello from?

Topic: Clothing Swap in Asheville NC
Hello Everyone, Hope everyone is having a great monday morning so far.  Our support group here in Asheville NC, is holding a clothing swap in December.  If you are in the area and would like to bring any clothing to swap out, please feel free to attend.  The location of our support group is 2 Medical Park, Asheville NC. Its right off the interstate 40.  It will start at 6pm. We only ask for the clothes to be clean, rip free, and sorted by size.  We'll be doing a ticketed swap. For every item of clothing, you'll recieve a ticket. You will then use those to turn for the clothes in your size. Any clothing that have not be taken,  we will donate to a non profit agency to help other people in the community.  The date is December 7th @ 6pm. Hope to see you there

I work in Charlotte, but live in Gaston County.  I had surgery in 2010 with Dr. Jon Pirrello.  Have you had surgery or looking to have surgery?

Topic: RE: Sunny Sunday Roll Call
Spent my afternoon at the return desk at Target.  Then we celebrated my birthday a day early so the kids could be here.  My husband fixed a wonderful meal of grilled salmon with crispy grilled potatoes and eggplant/zucchini mix.  He even went to the trouble of having a baker friend make me a sugar free cake.  It was beautiful and tasted wonderful!  However, after eating the smallest sliver of it, 20 min later started to dump....for the next 3 hours.  My stomach is finally calm now.  I said I'm not sure what chemical she used to substitute for sugar but it's not agreeing with my stomach.  Well, he then said it was Splenda for baking...my reply?  That has sugar in it.  Oops!!

I will be making my own birthday dessert next year! lol  But is was so very sweet of him to try
