Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     |  "FemmeMode's BIG Adventure"....w/ Pics!! WELL...get ready...I will try to keep this short, but you have to hear all that happened!! WOW....this story is quite HELARIOUS especially when I look back on it now! So...Isabella and I had a trip planned to Pittsburgh, PA this weekend...and we were going from Friday - Monday. Unfortunately we were unable to get a direct flight...and had a connecting flight in NYC at LaGuardia. Well, on our first day the connection time was only and hour. WELL...for those of you who are up in the NY area, you know the HORRIBLE rain that was rampant up there...and it caused our plane to be held up, and we landed at 6pm thus making us miss our connection - AND, there were NO flights available the rest of the night. In fact, the first available time to go to Pittsburgh was Saturday, at 3:30pm. It was pretty hard to figure out what I was going to do...and I began to think that I would just have to sleep in the airport, until the gentleman at the counter told me that they would kick us out of the secured area...WHAT???!!! Well that sent me on the quest to find a place to stay...which continued the adventure....there was NO availabilty in the hotel accomodations around the airport....which got us to thinking about who we knew in the area....My DH got on the computer...and my IM's to see if anyone was online. And found two of my Renewed Reflection buddies.... Janae (Pillows) and Lisa (Fr1endly2) were both able to calm my DH down assuring him that if I made my way to cetain Railroads...then I would have a place to stay!!! THANK YOU...THANK YOU...you two!!!! WOW, I am sooo thankful for friends like you both, who were sooo wonderful to me!! Both offering to put us up...and rescue us! So...first I had to battle getting out of the airport and to Penn Station to look for a train. 'Bella and I got some dinner after making a plan, and then taking it all to a Airport Bus going to Manhatten's main office. When we got off the bus - what a nightmare...it was POURING!! and I had to manuvere 2 carry-ons and Isabella's pony backpack...and ISABELLA...we got our stroller from under the buss...and all our things...we were soaked before we ducked into a doorway. Those first few minutes, I had NO IDEA what we were going to do...I just knew this was NOT Penn station! Eventually I connected with others and found out that there was going to be a shuttle bus coming to pick us up and take us to Penn...so, basically we had to venture in the POURING RAIN again....to and from the shuttle!! There are soooo many more halarious details, but I will bypass. After checking the times, I realized I'd take Janae's offer...and we bought a ticket on the NJ Transit. It was about 11pm that Isabella and I ran to the train...and my daughter experienced her first train ride. She said, "Mommy, is it just like Thomas?!" she was tickled. The best part was meeting Janae for the first time...it was very late when we got there...and Janae scoop us up - with her 2 little ones sleeping in the back seat! So, we added the 3rd sleeping angel to the back seat and headed to Janae's house for a sleepover! As you can imagine that 30min ride to Janae's house was filled with NON-STOP chatter! We didn't stop talking the whole way!! What a fun, and exciting adventure! She even gave up her own bed for 'Bella and me!! Wow, and did we sleep great! We went to bed soooo late...but, when we got up the little ones were in a great mood...and we all had a lot of fun!! Just thought you all might like to see a couple pictures of our time together! Janae & Deborah~  Taylor & Isabella ~ these two little ones fell in love with each other....'Bella talks about Taylor non-stop...going to the park, birthday parties...etc!!  Here are all the kids while I was reading a fun book to the girls. All the kids look great...and hey, I'm all covered up by the two most beautiful girls!  For those of you who don't know Janae...she is just as genuine in person as she is in her posts...I hope everyone can meet her in person...and if not, get to know her VIRTUALLY...you will not be sorry!!! I can hardly wait to move up north to see her and the other New York women...they are all soooo wonderful! WHAT A BIG FUN ADVENTURE!!

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Wow Deb i am so sorry that i was not available to help you out!!! I did recieve an email but by the time i did it was to late.I dont regularly sign onto MSN so even if i was around i dont think your hubby would have been able to get me.

Your pics are great. Again i am so sorry i wasnt around for you  ...not even for mental support for hubby.....How is the house selling going? Are you getting offers? How is the apt searching going? Any luck with that?? Hope to chat again soon.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thanks LM!! It's amazing how this whole thing turned out...it just so happened that Janae and I had exchanged phone #'s the day before I left for my trip...we had no idea this would be our first time to actually meet one another... BTW...Lisa Marie...I want to get your info. & phone # and give you mine too. As of this Saturday...we will be homeless...and without internet connection....I don't know how long I'll be outta touch...but hope to periodically find internet service...and be able to "pop on" and say hi to everyone... Hopefully it won't take long to get settled in NYC....and then I'll be on for good!! I wish this move was over already!!!  Oh BTW...the friday b/4 Memorial day we got two offers on the house...we accepted one...and then 5 days later they recended. I was pretty bummed last week, but thankfully the second offer was still on the table...and the family LOVED the house...so, we are in a new contract. Hopefully everything will work out...but regardless we have to be out this weekend to get going on our vacation...we have some fun plans in Tennessee...and my cousin is getting married ('Bella is the flower girl...) then we are headed to NYC to find a place to live!ANYWAY...we'll see how it all pans out....I'm getting a little anxious!!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I'm So Jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyy I'm soooo jealous!!!!! I envy you girls are all in the same continent and can see each others!!!! while I'm far at the opposite side of the globe!!! UUGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! Thank God everything turned well, and Great that you contacted Janae. I'm pretty sure you gals had the greatest time together. I'm not surprised about Janae real personality. She sounds very loving and sentimental person I'm pretty sure about that. I imagine your adventure would be even more helarious if both of you have been to Lisa's place. I have lots of respect for all of you gals. I just feel so bummed that I didn't get accepted at one of the american schools (many haven't replied yet!!!! I don't know what are they aiting fro???!!!), if I did I would have been in each of you girls house every weekend hehehehe. Once again thank god that you went to your final distenation in one peice. Sweetie Deb take care of yourself, you're no longer the naughty single girl like the old days. You're now a warm sweet mommy that must stay safe and healthy for your lil angle Isabella Kate Great adventure. You girls are cool

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Oh My GOODNESS, you are brave to get through all that turmoil. I'm a country girl and probably would have stood in the corner of the airport crying or something else that would have not helped at all. I loved the pictures--and you were still smiling after all you had been through!

Height: | Okay so I have to add my two cents in here....lol.... First off thank you for all of the kind words Deb... It was really great having you here and Bella too. She really is adorable. We did decide that we would wait until morning before we took our pics to show off online. She was nice enough to not mention that I was late picking her up because I missed an exit and had to make a loop, and there was a really friendly gas station attendant that didn't know I was in a hurry as he proceeded to talk my ear off...lol. But eventually it all worked out, and I am so glad that I got to meet Deb early... I haven't had a sleepover for so long... I will have to make sure to host a few when hubby deploys next year. Chuppy, we love you and would love nothing more than to have you here with us. Deb and I actually had a nice conversation about how beautiful you are and how great it is to get to know you. We also had a good time discussing Craig and how awesome it was for her to meet him in person and have coffee with him. Love ya all and peace out for now. Janae |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I just wanted to stop by and add my 2 cents. I can vouch for what a great person Janae is. I can honestly say that I don't know where I would be right now if I didn't have her support right now. She means the world to me. Deb, I can't wait for you to get up this way. I look forward to getting to know you. Jolie
