In how long did it take u to get to your current weight ???

Started at 4/18/12 : 329lb

Today 10/18/12 : 240lb

At a year out' date=' your body will not have finished bouncing back. I'm 15 months post, been at goal for 7 months, and things are still shifting around. My plan has been to wait until 2 years post. That way, whatever elasticity my skin has will be done as well as whatever my body can re-absorb. I think a year post is just too early.

Your insurance will only cover it if it is causing you health issues. Google the topic.[/quote']

I am going to google it

it depends on what state you are from. in Connecticut i have Husky A which is medicare as well. they cover the body not the arms and legs i believe. my friend is getting hers done next month but your Surgeons office should be very familiar with what they cover and you can also call your insurance directly and they will tell you. mine covers it a year out and it has to be medically neccessary causing rashes and irritation stuff like that

I live in new york city

I want to do a Tummy Tuck at a year out ... I did my surgrey with healthfirst ins ( medicare ) do u think the medicare cover it .. Some ppl say yes and some say yes .. have anyone done it with madicare ???

You look amazing ..!!!!!! Me and a lot of us know how u feel . I have not lost 103 but 85 in 5 month and i feel like another person like if god was give me a second changes... Soo congrats !!!!!!!

Thank you all .... I do feel way happier .. I start at 329 and i am today 249

You are making GREAT progress! I would love to find a zumba class to attend' date=' sounds like a great idea![/quote']

I do it at home i have the zumba wii

Oh yea a drink only crystal light or Water all day when i am not eating..!! Lol

I like zumba cause is fun and it don't feel like exercise, is like dance and in the morning i have Protein Shake then fruits or eggs and then for lunch i will have mash potato or veg.. with fish or Grill or bake chicken and for dinner i have yogort or furits and then a Protein shake but don't get me wrong i have cheated with chips and like 2 times i have had a pizza , i went to a kids party w/ my 2 years old toddler baby girl and i had a lil bit of cake but hey i am only human.. I just don't do it all the time ...

I loss the weight after surgery.. I do zumba 4 time a week and eat 3 time a day smart food ..!!!

I am 3month out and i have loss 67 lb and feel good

I am 3 month out i am feeling dizzy don't know why ..???? I take all my pills daliy ..!! Can anyone relate to this ..?????

Well i am going to tell u all this, one of the nurse that took care of me told me that like 30 years age ur grandma had a ulcer and had to do a emergence sleeve because she was blooding to dead and she was 60 years old and she got really sknny so they got worry that she had cancer so the took her to the doc and the didn't find nothing cause there was notthing call gastric sleeve back then and she die at age of 94 of old age... So do u guys see my point..

Wow two years! That's just crazy...This was never mentioned to me prior to the surgery. If I would have mown this I would have never gone thru it. Really scared of my future with the sleeve!

But like i said 1 in a 1000 so don't think negative u will be ok just go by what ur doc say and u won't have nothing to worry about..

Would that include drinking too much liquids l

Not for drinking too much but what my doc told me not to drink fast to sip on my drink for now

Well i was told that u will always have a risk.. Doc told me about a girl that was over eating 2 years out and got a leak but he said he have only heard about that lady and that is from 1 in a 1000... So just don't over eat.. I am 3 months out and i have never throw up cause when i feel full i stop no matter how good is the food , i'll just safe it for later

Congrats i was sleeved April 16th weight 360 today 295 love it

Thats awsome....!!!!!

Thank you guys...!!!!!

I am 2 month out and i feel amazing

Day off : 329

I am 2 months out and i feel that i will never make it to goal. don't know why i think like that cause i am doing good but i have cheated ( eat bad food) not alot like 5 time in 2 month and i be feel so bad after i do it..not that i can eat much... So my question is for thoes who are in goal or almost there have u guys cheated (eat bad food)

Yes me too... I don't like notthing sweet now and before i use to die for it.. Lol i have to add Water to all the juice cause is to sweet for me
