Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Yea -- I miss it too.Where did everyone go?Can't believe that they all went to FacebookpatWhat happened? Why did you fall? What all did you injure? Sounds like a pretty serious fall. Will the dentist work with you on payments? I know caps and crowns are expensive -- real expensive.. When you get extractions, teeth will move eventually.Boy - you have done well on keeping your weight down. I have been more active now than ever -- my weight plateaued at 215 and thats it. However, I am happy that I no longer weight 316. LaurieSubject: hereTo: DS_Friends_Keshishian Date: Sunday, June 24, 2012, 7:36 AM I really hate it that no one ever writes on here anymore. I had a terrible April and May, but am on the mend now. Fell Easter Sunday and it all went down hill from there. I now feel 250% better, am in therapy 2 times a week. Lost a cap on one of my teeth, and have to have an oral surgeon take it out.[thats all my insurance will do]All was great until my heart dr. said I couldn't go under a local..What??? How am I going to get my other knee fixed if I can't do that...Grrrrr call them and they changed their mind, but now the surgeon is dragging his feet. I will call Mon. and see just what they are taking their time on this. The tooth is begining to throb.. Surgery ways I feel I am doing great..Got down to 170, and have been as high as 194, but right now I am back to 178.. I am on a blood thinner so can't have green vegies or chocolate. Now getting rid of the chocolate has been good for me, I think that is why I have lost some weight..Miss my green beans..lol Ok, enough said.Miss everyone on here, but see most on facebook.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I also miss the conversation on here. I’ve never had a Facebook account – and don’t plan to get one. My weight stays down the 90 lbs I originally lost. My surgery was November 2006. I’m coming up, then, on six years. I think my quality of life has been improved 200%. My son (36) has just been diagnosed with a mild diabetic condition. I’m so worried about that for him – but so glad to know that I’ll never have that issue after having the surgery. Diabetes has killed every female in my family for at least three generations. I hoped that  this son, along with my other two internationally-adopted children, would not have to face diabetes. (He’s from the Philippines.) There are many post-surgical benefits beyond the increased flexibility, agility, and surviving the 100-degree Washington heat! I’ve been having some major dental work done lately – root canals and crowns are EXTREMELY expensive. I remember buying a new car in the ‘70’s for what saving a single tooth costs now. Luckily, my dentist is a family friend who allows me to pay on a payment schedule.

Guest guest Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 Won't post on FB group, either. Too many conerns re: privacy. So sorry to hear about your fall. I assume you fractured the tooth & , therefore, they can't save it. [Just finished a year long extraction, implant & crown]. You're lucky your ins. pays for some, at least -- but I'm sorry you're in pain. Why can't you do a local? I can understand no general (with a heart issue) but no local?
