[emoji322][emoji322][emoji322] yahoo!!! [emoji322][emoji322][emoji322] - with Dr. Illan Now, to pick a date...

Lord that's horrible. Thank God you are both still alive to tell us about it. I hope it gets fixed fast.

My surgery was a week ago and today is the first time I've craved anything. One of my friends opened up a chicken & waffles food truck. He has the most amazing chicken I've ever had. I visited him. I want some of that damn chicken. I can't wait until I can eat solids! But, thankfully, I haven't been hungry or craving anything otherwise! Surgery Date: August 9th HW: 235 SW: 220 CW: 212 Goal Weight: 140

Well I actually wanted the 9 am one to sleep a little but but they changed it to 7 am lol [emoji42]

My coordinator told me 30 days. I was anxious also. I think I was way to anxious because I called anthem myself, probably about 4 hrs after my info was submitted to check the status and they told me it was approved. A few days later my coordinator called. I just act like I was surprised but I already new. You should call Anthem and check your self because you already could have been approved.

Hope you both have fast healing. [emoji1374] “There will be obstacles. There will be doubters. There will be mistakes. But with hard work, there are no limits.” —Michael Phelps

So sorry to hear this from both of you..

First picture is from November 2016 at 303 pounds. The second picture is from tonight. Same clothes. I had to hold my pants from falling to the floor. Tomorrow, I will be two months post op and weigh in at 231. So glad I made the decision for WLS.

I wish I had done this years ago. It was a perfect fit for me. I have never been a snacker only a binge eater, my brother had gastric sleeve two weeks before I did and he lost about 30 lbs right away but has struggled ever since because he is a snacker eating often and also drinking calories. If you are a snacker and can't deal with that than gastric sleeve is not for you. I am happy with not having a great deal of loose skin, but I do have some in my lower belly and groin area. Gonna have that skin removed. Skin over my back and arms and legs is just a little loose but not sagging like my lower belly, but I think I am one of the lucky ones with that.,

YES! I plan on going thru PatchMD. Haven't seen another brand. My aunt, an RN, had surgery 4 years ago. She uses the patches and her labwork comes back within the right ranges ever since she started using them. Before she would gag and vomit up her vitamins or end up skipping a day or two because it's just so hard to WANT to take them. I'm definitely on board!
