ProudGrammy

@melsabells hey Tex, that is one question i never thought to ask my doctor! not laughing at you, i'm laughing at with you!! you exert a lot of energy with a push mower. don't think you would/could do that for a while. check with doc when the earliest you could mow lawn would be - don't mow til your new little tummy is fully healed, and you are not feeling/tired/weak.- you don't want to hurt yourself good luck with sleeve WLS next week speedy recovery kathy

@SleeveinIL short and sweet answer - maybe/sometimes 6 years ago when i had my sleeve, my primary (Medicare) wasn't paying for the WLS the sleeve. they said it was experimental. That was IT, period, end of sentence. - (btw - sleeve is now covered by medicare!!) i had many phone "discussions" with BCBS (2nd ins. from my office) about them allowing (paying) for my WLS. in the end - sleeve was covered and paid for completely - hospital too!! if you are told NO the first time - don't give up, try, try again!!! good luck kathy

@OmaJ hi tex!! you are 4" 10' - losing 50 lbs - you probably feel 10" tall!! keep up the great job good luck kathy

@dreamangel1974 i think the good news outWEIGHS the bad news sorry about having to go to ER, dealing with problem - now getting heads up to sleeveland and pre-op. not knowing all the facts, this situation HOPEFULLY/PROBABLY won't effect WLS. good luck - kathy

hi fellow sleevers i have 90-95 lbs. to loose total. Thats alot, but not the most weight to loose, so, i figured i would have no excess skin hanging. Wrong!!! A few weels ago, i had a little sagging pouch develop (tummy) really not too bad at all, now i realized its a little bigger. its still really pretty small, but its definitely there. Then i realized that the weight i lost from by rear end, well thats sagging a bit too. not much really - but again its there. Who was i trying to kid that this wouldn't happen :ph34r: kathy
