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.

Default Update

Thanks for noticing Becka - I have been thinking a great deal of you all and hoping you are doing well. I was just reading posts and trying to catch up.

I go back to work tomorrow. I am ready to be working again, I am just not looking forward to it.

I've already complained about my childcare issues so I wont go into that again. But Shelby will be going to an in-home daycare in our subdivision for now.

My left side incision had a little bubble and the bubble popped and fluids are draining again - clear small amounts. I thought I was done with that, but its back. No big D.

I am experimenting and having no troubles other than spending a lot of time going number 2. Most days Ive not been getting my 60+ protein in so I have to go back to food diary and protein shakes.

I've signed up for a cycle Plus and a Steo PLus class; both are once a week for 15 weeks. I am getting my water in though. So at least I am doing good with one thing.

HUbby and I have made a pretty big decision. Right now all medical is on me. He is going to look for a new job with benefits so we can all be on him. Then I will resign my position and open an in-home daycare here in our home. We did the numbers and I would need 3 children in addition to Shelby to be where I am now. We don't have many upfront expenses to get ready and this allows me to be at home and still bring in $$ to the family. Wish us luck.

Shelby is getting 6 teeth on the top all at once! Amazingly, she isn't TOO cranky, though she has her moments. I can't believe she is almost 1 - the time has flown by.

I am not losing weight - I am at 48 (as of this morning) and I know its because Iam not getting my protein in. So starting tomorrow, I will make it happen. It might be easier to be away for now at work and concentrating on catching up and gettingin liquids and protein. I mean, since I cant take an official lunch anyways.


Sending my best to you all -

I am so happy to hear you are doing well. I know how hard childcare is to find. I havent really worked too much since my kids have been born due to the fact good childcare is hard to find and when you do find it they want an arm and a leg. I have done babysitting in my home for almost 11 years on and off. I usualy only do it for friends and dont charge too much. Right now I have a 2 year old with me 24/7 until her daddy gets back from training in Cali...he is a single dad and is military. This is the 2nd time I have had her for an extended period of time, the 1st time I didnt charge him anything but this time I am charging him 200 a month. Not bad for him considering when she was in daycare he paid 500 a month for the hours of 5am to 5pm. What kind of job do you have now? My 2 boys cut almost all their teeth at once, I hope they pop through for Shleby soon.

I am an executive assistant to the VP of Marketing at discover card. Woah - thats a long title! basically I run the dept. I used to love my job, back when I didnt think I could be a mommy! Now that I am a mommy and have had a taste of being one FT - I really enjoy it. And who is going to do the things with her that Iwill? We work on sign language all day each day, weatch a 30 minute signing video a day, we work on block sorting, and block building, colors, shapes, etc... She is a sponge! Others will jsut make sure she isnt getting into trouble.

My commute is over an hour each way. It sucks.

Hubby has now applied for over 23 jobs since Sunday night. I hope the phone starts ringing soon.

*sad to be going back to work; would rather stay here with Shelby*

Tina been there done that. The whole child care issue is soooooooo hard on us. I was working part time for a while at night. hubby would come home, and then i would fly out the door and be gone till like 11pm at night. But then I got to not like that becasue I was always missing bath time and bedtime. Granted I was home with the kids all day and the hubby had them at night but it was soooooooo hard. So I feel for you Tina. Its a very hard balancing act. I did end up watching a few kids in my own home and that worked out for 3 years till the kids got into preschool and etc...then I was able to work at facility where the kids went to preschool part time. It wasnst the biggest money maker but we made the situation work. So hang in there and hope that phone starts ringign soon for the hubby.
