Thinking of breast lift
I had TT with lipo, Lift and implants. Honestly my breasts did not hurt at all. Maybe pressure pain but that was it. So worth it!

So nervous...
I think most of us have been there either on a ride or airplane. I am over 2.5 years out from surgery. I can honestly say I will never forget those feelings nor do I want to. It is the drive that keeps me strong on my weight loss/maintaining journey and has taught me to have compassion for the people that are still struggling. You will be on that coaster in no time and be running off to get back in line!

Anyone noticing changes in food taste? (I'm post op 4 1/2 weeks)
That is so funny..I used to hate eggs..the smell even made me sick. Now I love them! Everything tastes so different to me. I have noticed the texture of food a lot more now. Like I love the taste of bananas but the texture now is hard to deal with. The sleeve is a funny thing...but AWESOME!

Help! Gaining weight ... how do I diet with the sleeve?
Just fill up with Veggies and lean protein. Stay away from those nasty carbs. If I get to the high part of my range...143-144 I cut back on the carbs. I sip more water and go right back down. I have in my mind not to go above 145 and do not let myself get under 138. Gives me some breathing room and I feel really good here. Carbs are the devil - lol

If your insurance specifically tells you weight loss surgery isn't covered...
Same here...never ment never. I had to self pay. They would not even cover the excess skin removal after I lost the weight loss. I was so sick from it and they were pretty much :sucks to be you". I hate insurance companies!
