CONGRATULATIONS, !!!

Talk to your doctor about your weight watchers program. Weight Watcher is an excellent program to be on while pregnant because it ensures you eat healthy!!! As far as the points, check with your WW leader or check the website.

Again...congratulations!!!

I really hope yours will. There are ladies here that have had it done pre-pg

and it was paid for by insurance. They probably just need a referral from

your doc and the correct codes.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

e,

Good luck on Monday. Several in the group had the cerclage prepregnancy.

They can help better with the insurance question. But, it will probably

come down to your insurance company and how the doctor codes it. They will

have to do the preapproval. Talk with them about this.

Love, P.

I had Anthem when I had my pre-pregnancy cerclage. It covered the

procedure, except of course for my deductible.

I forgot to tell you that I didn't have to have pre-approval. My

Dr's office called to make sure it was covered and it was. They

filed after the surgery and everything was covered. My surgery was

also considered out patient surgery because I got out of the hospital

the next morning and wasn't there for more then 24 hours.

I have Anthem Century Prefered PPO and not an HMO.

Kara,

Thanks for your response. I have been worried about them covering

it. We can't really afford to pay for it ourselves, but we would

find a way if we had to.

I'm not that far out but relationships are pretty much the same no

matter what stage you're in, my advice, Tell him how you feel. Talk to

him. Ask him to sit down with you and listen with an open mind and not

say anything until you're finished, then you'll give him the same

courtesy. Tell him you want him to be honest and straightforward as you

will be also.

Another question, is it just him being more affectionate now that

bothers you or the fast that he's reaping the benefits of you being

thinner and he didn't want you to do this in the first place? That's

another topic for you to discuss. But always, talk to that person and be

honest and what have you with him/her before you start suggesting

counseling. If talking doesn't' work, then therapy would be a good

choice.

n, I'm not sure its that our husbands didn't think we were ok

when we were obese, as much as it is exciting for them to have us as

we are now (we're like new women and most men would probably love

that after years of marriage, LOL). I know my hubby is worried about

me losing too much since he likes a curvy woman, but I notice he gets

turned on just watching me dress in the mornings (not that a stiff

breeze wouldn't get him going anyway). I suppose men, just like us,

have their physical preferences in women and your smaller size is

probably just more of a turn on to him. Biggest thing to remember is

that he is A GUY!!! Most of them base more on physical attractions

than women do, they're visual and we're more emotional. That's

probably why it bothers us to realize men find us more attractive now

that we're smaller.

I have yet to have my surgery but I already know my dh will be more

affectionate. I know I am not as attractive now then when I was

thinner. I am actually looking forward having his hands all over me

again. When I was thinner my dh use to come up behind me and wrap

his arms around me. He doesn't anymore. I miss all that. Maybe I

am in the minority but I am looking forward to a better sex life

among other things of course.

I understand you anger towards your dh. I've had that same anger

with my dh over other things. I agree that you need to sit him down

and tell him how you feel. I do this with my dh sometimes and it's

amazing how much better our relationship is after a talk like this.

After 8 years we are still learning how to love each other more and

these talks help a lot.

God Bless you and I hope you can work out your feelings with your dh.

Hi Chelle :)

Yup, me too!!!! Personally, it is hard feeling attractive and

sexual at 370 lbs like I was pre-op.... Much better now as the

weight is coming off :)

Great advice ,

I can tell you that done let that angry keep festering. It will only

drive a larger wedge between you. Get it all out in the open and

trust what he tells you. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hot-air popcorn. 3 cups = 1 point so you can eat what looks like a lot for not many points. All that crunching gives you something to do.

A better idea is to find something to do besides eating. Did your mother ever give you the 'Well, if you're bored I can find something for you to do" threat? Find something that doesn't go with eating. Read a nice book that you don't want to get ketchup stains on. Do a craft project that would not benefit from a big grease sploch. Do some yard work: Chocolate and dirt may be the same color but they don't really go together. I have a needlework project that I am working on and I must keep my hands perfectly clean to avoid staining it. Great motivation.
