Post Good News!!!

So... I go for my lab work today and find out there's a chance I may be able to have surgery early, not May 13th but the 5th. Didn't want to get my hopes up so just kind of played it off and said that would be cool. Get all my blood work and what not done and was meeting with the women who does the financial part and as I turn around to leave and my nurse from the wl center was standing there smiling. She said she was glad she didn't miss me, said she needed my paperwork I had gotten earlier this morning. I was like "why"? Smiling she learned over and gave me a big hug and said because the Dr is going to do it before he leaves town instead of waiting an extra week. She is so awesome!! So, needless to say I'm so busy now getting all the last minute stuff done. Never realized how much really goes on before and after surgery.But....I'm so excited and now that it's right around the corner I won't have time to be so nervous! I'll be on the bench in no time!!!!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

yeah, we do. Actually I have 4, my husband has 3 and we've all live together for the past 8 years, happily....most of the time. lol
Unfortunately my kids see their dad maybe 1/month and my girls (husbands) haven't seen their mom in over 2 years. My husband and I both have custody of our kids.

Yours are adorable how old?

Wow, I'm impressed that all nine of you can live happily under one roof. My kids are 9 (boy), 12, and 15(will be 16 in June). Living with two teenage/preteen girls is not a walk in the park. My son is a happy-go-lucky 9 year old. I hope he stays that way forever!
