Hi everyone!! Iam so excited and nervous about my approval. I will be submittng everything next week. I have tricare anyone else worked with them this year? I having been reading your posts the last few days and I look forward to meeting all of you. So scoot over on the losers bench cause here I come!!

Hello Kario and welcome to the forum!!!

Good luck on your approval. I did not have tricare, but I know people here do, so you should get some good information.

If you have specific questions, those are a little easier for people to answer, so if you don't get a response to a broad question, ask again a little more specifically. Also, some days the posts come in pretty fast and a new post can get pushed to the bottom of the list pretty fast and be missed. Don't hesitate to ask again or go respond to your own thread to bump it back up to the top.

Seems like there are fewer people on line during the day on weekends. Out enjoying their new skinnier lifestyles, I suppose.

Anyway... just wanted to welcome you to the board and encourage you to keep posting! Can't wait to get to know you better.

I will also be submitting all my stuff in 2 weeks. I have Aetna though. Anyone have any experience on how fast they approve or are covered by them. I'll be praying on a fast approval for you and me too. We need one more place on the loosers bench for me. Keep us posted!

Thanks so much gettinskinni. Welcome to you too. Is that your cute little girl. I have a little big girl 10 and a 3 year old son. I don't have you insurance but I hope you get a speedy approval. I can't sleep. How about you? I hope to have the surgery by end of October. So they need to save a seat on the losers bench for the both of us

I will pray for you as well. Let's stay in touch. Oh how did you add a ticker? I tried but I could not get it right. Thanks Kari

Yes, that is my little girl she is 2 and I have a little boy that is 5. I need to set up an album on my profile to show the kids off and post pics of my current self. There is a thread that I will have to find and send to you that tells you exactly how to put the ticker on. Give me a few minutes and I'll send it or direct you on how to get to it. There are tons to choose from and a fun way to track.

gettinskinni · 09-21-2008, 06:07 AM

I couldn't find the thread, but I think I remember how to do it.
1. Go to tickerfactory.com
2. Click on weight loss or WL tickers and make you ticker that you want.
3. When you get to the page that has your finished ticker on it, you want to right click on your ticker and save it to you documents on your computer.
4. Then go to MY Accounts and choose edit signature
5.Go to the bottom where you can put in a signature picture.
6. Click on browse to find your ticker that you saved in your documents
7. Hit upload and then save signature.
It should work then. I had to do it a couple of times, because I got website errors, but it finally did it. Let me know if that works. I check back later after church. Have a great day.

Thanks so much Jennifer! Finally got it I was trying to upload it directly from the site.

kario · 09-21-2008, 07:01 AM

Okay now I think it is right

gettinskinni · 09-21-2008, 01:26 PM

Good, I'm glad you got it to work. I love the flowers and shoe.
