I do find they are always really busy, but I know they're the best around. My suggestion would be to call your insurance company to see if you've been approved. If you haven't, that could be why PVS hasn't called you. If you have, you can call them and say- hey, my insurance approved this- what's the next step? I know the person in charge of insurance submittals was out on vacation for a week and SUPER backed up. Keep the faith, and keep advocating for your best health! Good luck- I'm waiting for my approval now, too.

Hi, Everyone! Sort of an OT question

Hi, everyone!

I have sort of an off topic question.
I wanted to make on of those cool glittery signature name thingies. I went to glittergraphics.com & got the HTML code for the signature I want. Cut & pasted it into the "edit signature" box...and what shows up but all of the code!

How do I get it from the code into a real signature?? I tried the help menu but didn't find anything.

Anybody? Help??

Update on my journey in my next post....

Update.....

Well....
I went for my first appointment with Dr. Haag last Monday

I knew that my work was switching insurance companies on the 1st. No biggie. As soon as I get my new card I'll start making all the rest of the appointments (diatician, psych, etc...). Tuesday, no card. Wednesday, no card, Thursday no card....

As it turns out our HR person didn't get all of the paperwork in on time...so right now I have NO insurance ....ACK! I can wait for all of my appointments but what if....

Hopefully this will all work out in a couple of days....

OceanGal
waiting......................

Congrats, OceanGal! The next support group is right after my surgery. I didn't think I would go, but Harriet (the woman who runs it) encouraged me to show up. So, provided I can get a ride and everything goes smoothly the Friday before, I will be there! As a Bandster! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

I have my pre-op appts this week with Fiallo and the hospital, and I can barely stand it I'm so excited

Cool, Luigismama!
Maybe I will see you?
Have first appointment with dietician on the 4th, am trying to find a psychiatrist in the area for that appointment, and then the support groups...
Luckily Fallon doesn't need a 6 month diet or anything. YEAH!!!!

Good luck to everyone!

When is the next support group? I have not been to the pre-banders since my banding and would like to go. Maybe even get to meet some of you!

Oh, buggers!
I have a colonoscopy that day. Blech!. Just a routine checkup that I've put off for a year.

I will try to make the next one though. Some day we will all meet!

I wrote it on my calendar, I'm planning on going. I'll bring my 2 daughters who are both looking to be banded and have begun the process. See you soon!

Sorry I missed everyone on Monday. I was recovering from a colonoscopy. Blech! The good news is that I lost 8 lbs. before the procedure . The bad news is that I gained 6 back the next day! .... Oh, well I can look at 2 lbs. lost. LOL!

I will try to make it to the next one. Anyone else gonna be there?

Going outside to enjoy the sunshine!
