Ooh very good idea with the measurements!

hAs anyone ever heard of Medicaid paying for excess skin removal and breast lift?

Agreed!!!!!

Sorry lynda I meant

Ahhh!! I love it Linda! You just put that out there and answered the question we were all afraid to ask !!! I have been so ashamed of my body especially private areas! I cannot wait for this! October 24th could not come quick enough!!!

Well I was wondering about all of that. Thank you! My hands are so chubby and dimply I would like to see normal fingers again lol along with the rest of my body!!!

This may be a dumb question but after the surgery when you start losing weight do you lose it everywhere? Like feet, hands, ect.

I was wondering the same thing! I watch a 9 month old little girl and she weighs 16 lbs. how am I going to deal with picking her up?

Had my final tests done today!! Chest X-ray and met with the nutritionist then had my endoscopy. Found out I have a hatial hernia What will they do about it and will they fix it? Will it postpone my surgery?

Congratulations!!! I cannot wait! No nerves anymore just excitement!!!

Endoscopy on Friday! Seeing the nutritionist right before! and that will complete all my pre op! Once they submit it to insurance how long does it take? So very excited!!!

Oh geesh no wonder. I babysit an infant and never out In the sun!!! It's been way to hot! And I don't drink near enough milk because it's so expensive so there ya go lol!!!

Labs came back all good but my vitamin D is low so they are making me take a pill. Anyone else have this problem???

I am very thankful for everyone's posts! They help a lot!!

Am so excited and I don't even have a date yet! Went to my first Dr appointment this past Monday! I've had my stress test done, lab work done, sleep study done, EKG done, forgot to get chest x-ray while The hospital but I only live 2 blocks away so that's no biggie! They scheduled my endoscopy for August 31, got my phsyc eval done as well! I have to see the nutritionist at some point and attend 3 meetings and all will be done! I cannot wait to hear the magical news that they have a date set! This is so long over due for this momma! I want my kids to meet the skinny mom that can join in their fun!!!!!

Go to my first Dr. Appointment on July 30th. I have a packet of paperwork to fill out and take with me. Can anyone tell me about the first visit?! I am also. Concerned about my diet history sheet! How on earth am I supposed to remember every diet I've done for the last 3 to 4 years for I am constantly trying to diet with no specific loss!! Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am a mother of 3 and my oldest is 22. I gained 64 lbs with him at the age of 17 and never lost any of it. I am now at my heaviest at 275 and I am done with this crap!! HELP PLEASE

Has anyone had hair loss?? And I'm very worried about charting my dieting! I diet all the time with no significant weightloss and God knows I don't keep dates! They want me to be very specific for the last 3 to 4 years. What do I do?

So glad to read these posts!!! I did chicken out and cancelled my appointment to see the dr on July 1st! Had myself convinced I could do this on my own! Well it turned 100 degrees outside and of course I didnt walk like I told myself I would and went right back to eating junk!!! So the dr rescheduled my appointment for July 30th! I am going to have this done and I will succeed! Will it kill me..... Uh yes haha! A little history... I had my first child at 17 and gained 64 lbs bring me up to 224lbs at delivery. Well that was 22 years and 2 more children ago!! I now am at my heaviest and weigh 275lbs! I never lost a pound of my first baby weight and it has been 22 years since I have been under 200 lbs! I have to do this for me and my health! Will it be hard yes!!! But will I succeed....darn straight! So good luck to you and know you are not alone!
