I wish I had known...I just got rid of 4 pairs of size 32/34 jeans. I would

have given them to you if I had known. They were worn a few times on my trip to

Ca. If it weren't just getting to be warmer weather I had some thermal type

henleys and corderoy(?Sp) you could probabally wear, but by the time you got

them it would be too warm...

Before too long you will be like me and buying clothes at wally

world....LOL. Even if it is still the women's dept, it's still not LB or

Roaman's I

Bought 32's (Was: and e-mail......)

> you hang in there it will happen for you to.

and i know how hard it is to wait take care and have agreat day amber

that I'm pre-op waiting on the insurance letter?). I

had split three out of four of my size 30's and finally broke down and

bought the proper size. I hate them, but they are roomy.

Man, I hope the insurance company says yes. If not, I'm probably heading to

Brazil. I just can't go on like this and I think the DS is really the best

long term solution for me.

I have PHCS-PPO for insurance. Ariana says they are fairly quick to return a

decision. Is there a post-op out there who has PHCS and would like to tell

me how long it took them to do a thumbs up? Thanks!

I know I'm being impatient. <Sigh> It's sometimes tough to hear of

everyone's successes on the list when you are in a big state of

wait-and-see. " I wanna be a loser, too! " <whine>

Thanks guys.

Hi

When I had my surgery I weighed 335 and was down from my all time

high of 347. I wore a very tight pair of size 32 jeans into the

hospital when I had surgery. (does that tell you where I carry most

of my weight?..lol) I also wore a 3xl shirt.

Now 2 years out I wear size 14 pants and med/lrg shirts (sometimes

smalls)

I am not telling you this to upset you...but to give you hope for

your future. The brass ring is out there, you just have to wait for

your turn at it...then grab it and hang on! It will happen for you.

Go ahead and whine...soon you will be whining that it isnt coming off

fast enough....thats when we will smile, knowingly. We too were

impatient.

you will be a loser too!

Hi, -

I have PHCS with PPO coverage through my husband's employer (the

local hospital). I'm not sure exactly when PHCS received the last

piece of paperwork (cardiac clearance) but I believe it was

approximately 2 weeks for the approval to come through. Hope this

helps.
