My surgery is JULY 25th. OMG 5 days

They sent it in this Monday and I was approved today wends

Hi guys I can't believe it but i am approved!!!! In less than one month I will have my wls

What is NSAIDS??

Thanks

The most important thing is documentation when it comes to having insurance pay for things and it depends on your insurance. Mine will pay for TT and full body lifts including breast lifts. I can tell you that as far as the TT is either has to be significantly loose or cause you some discomfort or rash.

Amazing

Well not him paying for the tummy tuck, but that he can usually get our insurance to pay for it.

He said in his seminars that he can get ins to pay for the tummy tuck. Wow great success!!! That's amazing I know you feel soooooo much better. Do you still feel hungry? And lastly did you have any complications? Ok one last lastly how was Kelly's bedside manner and how fast did Nikki get you approved? Thanks

Nice how long did it take u to lose the weight? What has ur experience been?

Nice that's who I am thinking about. I wanted dr Rupp but was told that dr Kelly is better for sleeves. I am glad to hear that someone actually did go through it with him. How long did it take u to lose ur weight? Did u get approved for the tummy tuck by him? I am 5,4 and 260 pounds 28yrs old.

I am from WBL and I am thinking about st paul surgeons I have been told they don't do many sleeves but they will do it. I have Ucare and all is going well I hope to be approved soon

I hope my sex drive doesn't increase or I will be like that show 20 kids and counting lol. Not quite that extream but u get the idea. I think I have a very good sexual drive I do hope however that after surgery I will feel sexier and bolder about sex and that in it self will make it so much better

Thnks Patrick I am in the same boat. I got approved for WLS in 2006 and decided to wait (what was I thinking) I guess u get so much pressure from family and friends to try harder so that's why I waited. And I did try very hard, I still am I do p90x and work out but the pesky pounds don't budge too much. Then if I stop working out they come right back. I have known people who have done the band and RNY but no sleevers except my you tube and here. I guess one thing I am still a little confused about is the difference in amount of weight u can lose with the sleeve. Does it just take a little longer? Again I am willing to do my part and if the hunger hormone is gone then I think I would do great. Oh one last thing I've seen people say I don't stretch out ur sleeve as much as some stretch their pouch and this doesnt make any sense to me. Any ideas as to why that would happen like that?

Mamaof8 let me applaud u because Atkins isn't easy. I was on it before, well I guess most of us have been on every diet imaginable. But my point is I think that's great that u are being proactive Can't believe u have 8 kids wow I just have 4 I need to get working to catch up w u:)

I find it very informative too. And I am thankful to learn from people who are going through this as well

As many people have already said that was awesome to see you look like a totally different person just amazing. I am the same way about being totally comfortable in my own skin, maybe I'll be this bold when I lose my weight too.... Maybe.

Hi icandothis I am in the same boat thinking about doing the shakes now till surgery, with that being said I don't have a date yet, however all my pre reqs are done. I have decided that I will do all liquid and if I slip then I won't beat myself up about it, I'll just keep trying to make liquid my focus. I also am with you about having it hard to believe that this time next year we will not be the same. I look at my journals for almost 10+ years now and they all say "I will be skinny by such date" and I exercise and diet to no avail, now with WLS it will truly change. Can't wait!!! In someways I guess I accepted my life to always be overweight, now I see that I too am worth every dream and passion I have. Way to go on your journey!!! Can't wait to see all your success!!!!

Thanks nomad girl

Thanks to ALMOST everyone who left comments, I appreciate your kindness and help. Thanks to the board admin for stepping in when others decided to go on rude rampages.

Um ok :? If u even read my posts you would know I workout. So not sure where ur going with that? And I really don't care if u thing the RNY is bad or not. Again if u don't have anything positive to say why are u commenting on my posts? Seriously you have better things to do with your time I'm sure. Anyway thanks to everyone else for comments that are helpful and not judgemental.

I am planing a breast aug, tummy tuck, and some others. The tummy tuck I have to wait until 2014 bc my insurance will cover it The boobs will be done in may or June 2013 Hello happy days ahead I am 28 and if needed I would do other lifts. If I needed a arm or thigh lift I would do this in Mexico but as far as the boobs I am seeing dr Robert Rey the only man I would ever trust with my boobies. Breast is 10k Tummy 10k Thigh and arm in Mexico is 6k
