That is awesome. You have done so much! I hope I get to that point. I know once I lose the weight I am going to want to try and build some muscle tone.

Awesome! Congrats that is such a great NSV!

Good luck! I hope you hear back from UHC really soon!

Good luck! I am hoping you and the husband make it through, lol.

Wow, congrats on the great NSV. I think sometimes those are what are really what makes the surgery worth while.

Aw, that is so sweet. Congrats on the great loss, you can really see the difference.

Go you. I really like this idea of commiserating how far you have gone away from that with this bike-a-thon. Good luck!

Hope you are doing well! Please keep us updated.

That was a great thing to see. I never really worried about the healing over the staples, but I am more comfortable seeing the 8 months later photos.

Welcome to Team September! I am super excited for you. Congrats on getting the awesome news!

Awesome! Congrats on meeting that great milestone!

Wow, I am so sorry your medical team hasn't been more supportive, but you have everyone here on this forum rooting for you. Thank you for sharing your story, and you are not alone. Some physicians just haven't caught up to the curve yet, I mean even Medicare and Tricare are still saying the VSG is investigational. Also, I feel ya on the 6MSWL. I will be done August 1st and it can't seem to come soon enough. I am hoping for surgery September 2nd. Good luck on your journey!

Ooh, that is a good tip for after surgery. I will definitely be adding that to my folder.

Whether you are paying for your surgery out of pocket in Mexico or going through insurance hoops, prepare beforehand. Find out about the surgeon, what he or she requires for surgery, and be able to ask questions. Also, don't leave the insurance handling to the people at the clinic be an active participant in getting your surgery covered. I think that is really important.

Good luck, hope you hear something soon.

After the the last ] bracket hit enter and start typing.

Congrats, you really can tell there is a major difference. You are just moving right along!

That is awesome. Congrats on the great news!

Wow, that is just amazing how much your measurements have changed. Congrats on the awesome loss!

Wow, I can't even tell you how inspiring it is to see how far you have come and how far you want to go. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I just can't tell you how excited I am for you.

Wow, that's awesome. Congrats on your amazing weight loss!

Yeah, search feature is your best friend. I lived in the My Content Section of Tiffykins, LilMissDiva, and other veterans for about a month before I even started responding. I don't post if the question has already been asked.

Ooh, this would be perfect for lunch's since I am constantly in the lab. I could just sip that down when I get the chance. Maybe even use some unjury chick broth protein powder.... hm. Thank you for the recipe.

Congrats on your approval. You will get some replies pretty soon, I'm sure. I also suffer from anxiety, though I haven't been sleeved and I am sure we can both get through this. I have been working things that will help me out after surgery with a psychologist, and it has really helped me.

Lol, your enthusiasm is contagious. Congrats!
