  2. its all personal where your body stored its fat look in the mirror see what parts are really stretched out and that is where you will have excess skin. Me I hold it in the front of my belly the kind that hung down to my zipper I know when I lose my goal I will have skin there. women usually have the Jello arms too from what I read on here the tricep area.

  8. I know isajck I argued for 30 mins myself about that fact. I almost started crying in front of my kids =/ Grown man crying about this in front of his kids isnt cool lol
  9. well after 4 hours its back on the ladies at the dr's office are awesome one was on phone with primary one on phone with secondary, secondary says hey we already approved it whats the hold up so after this boss and that boss its back on ..... I was in cold sweats and everything was going in and out purple i was sooo aggravated.
  10. Yup just got a call from Hospital they cancelled my sleeve for tomorrow because..... my primary insurance (mine from my job) only covers emergency hospitalization, my wifes insurance covers everything and is what my WHOLE family use for doctors and anything else that goes wrong. Well my primary denied of course because I only have emergency hosp but my wifes insurance approved the sleeve. Now the day b4 surgery someone in the hospital called my primary to "double check" authorization which was of course denied and now im in phone tag trying to get this resolved and we are now out of time. So off work for 2 weeks screwed out of and the next surgery date is Sept 21st I cant do it for one wait that long after this horrible 3 week liquid diet and try and get off another 2 weeks unpaid next month... Im just giving up... no way I can make it to next month and line up my ducks again.
  11. How's it going after surgery?
  12. Should have told the nurse it will be more fun making the children now
  13. That really sucks, I started my journey June 11th and have my surgery next Friday its amazing how some insurance co's want to drag it out.
  14. I am wondering because what I am thinking now if my food intake is restricted tremendously now, I want to ENJOY every bite unlike before when it could be dog food and I would just woof it down. There are some favorite foods I enjoy now and hope I still enjoy them after just in less quantity.
  15. I concur day 3 was no problem this is day 12 for me out of 21 so its just normal for me now. I even made the family Raviolis my favorite and it didnt bother me a bit.
  16. The ones from Unjury are not too bad and orange flavor
