  1. Hello! I understand being nervous for sure! Flabby skin is something we all worry about and is certainly a possibility. With you being younger you do have a better chance of there not being too much if at all but everybody's body is different. I haven't ha the surgery yet either so others might be able to give more perspective. Good luck with everything!! Maybe we will get to go through the journey together as I am looking into it all (again) now.
  2. You look fantastic!! Thank you for sharing as it helps me to see what I have to look forward to How's the last 5 months been? Any challenges?
  3. Hope everything went well with your surgery! Please keep in touch!
  4. So proud of you for doing something for you! Know that all of us here on the board are here to support you as much as we can! Good luck n please let us know how it all goes
  5. Im very excited for u and living w the same emotions and I don't even have a surgery date yet! Lol I shall live vicariously through your experience in the meantime so please be sure to share how things are going for you afterward. I will be thinking abt u tomorrow and hope all goes well!! Big hugs!
  6. Very exciting!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery and keep in touch!
  7. That's awesome!! Congrats! I'm sure it feels great and a surgery date around the corner
  8. I have UHC and wls is included in my plan ... Hoping for approval ????
  9. Good luck! Hope it all goes through quickly bc I am so w u ... Waiting games not fun!
  10. Wow! Fingers crossed that all goes well ... I'm getting all of my stuff together as well and hope for the best (I will be working with UHC).
  11. What great information! Thank you all for sharing your insights! I can't wait to get sleeved
  12. It can be scary ... And I have yet to be sleeved but honestly can't wait for it to happen! Think about it ... The risk of death or complications is much less than the risk of health issues due to obesity. This is a great tool for us to get our lives and health back! Wishing you the best in whatever you decide
  13. Ps ... Hang in there it will be worth it!!
  14. I was actually approved almost two years ago and got a sore throat and took it as a "sign" that I should hold off. Well guess what?!? In those two years I packed on 30 lbs and have regretted not doing it back then. I am now going trough the process for insurance approval etc ... Fingers crossed as I NEED this
