- Hello all! I am new to the group... just added it to my support group list today. However I am NOT new to being overweight nor making lifestyle changes. I have spent the last 4 years making lifestyle changes, quit smoking, eat clean, close to the...
- I went in for my new PCP/GP's ordered blood work and found out by the lab that she only ordered TSH testing... How can GP's be so uninformed? I get it that they are called GP's for a reason, but then you think they'd recognize they cannot know...
- Ok... so tonight I finished off all the paperwork for my surgery doc. Turning it in tomorrow. After getting all ready to go, I came across this quote I printed off quite sometime ago. It seemed so fitting tonight. It goes like this: "There are two...

- Joined this site about a week ago and hooked up on the gastric bypass group as I am looking into have the RNY surgery. Found out a few days back that my insurance wants people to be diabetic to pay for it. Otherwise you have to go thru the appeal...
- Ok... so earlier I posted that I found out i had to be diabetic for my insurance to pay for surgery. I even in jest said I could drink a soda before my glucose test! Not hat I ever would, but was just feeling desperate I guess. Then at docs today......
- Well.... Looks like I have to be diabetic for my insurance to pay for surgery. Six months ago I was not... It runs in my family, type II that is. I have (just barely) been able to keep it at bay with diet and exercise. However that was before I...
- Ok... so I don't expect anyone to have an answer for me, but I have to vent someplace and thanks to all the kind souls I've met here, this seems to be a safe place! My hubby is very supportive of me, what I do, and loves me 'no matter what'. I...
- I know many people have said their tastes have changed post surgery. That what once was delicious no longer is... This has made me wonder about smells... Does that change too? What once drew you in to eating (maybe too much) no longer smell good?...
- Just wondering how many of you journal.... and how much it's helped you get thru the process as well as help along this journey. I have in the past during other such things as a divorce from hubby #1 (like a zillion years ago!) and felt it...
