The Barium Sulfate was pretty yucky but not as bad as I thought it was going 2 be! I guess it helped that I only took a sip when instructed!!!

Congratulations sleeve sister!

Congratulations in your weight loss! You're beautiful and such an inspiration. When you feel up to it please post some before and after pics!

Good work honey! You look great! Your dimples most definitely come through when you smile!

It look as if you're finding you and in the process losing him. Now I bet you know your own worth and you don't seek his approval! Sometimes change shows us who's with us and who's against us. True love is able to accept change especially when it's a change for the better! I'm sure there were signs of brokenness well before your transformation. Better days and things are ahead!

You're welcome:)

Non scale Victory (i.e. lost inches, looser clothing). I could go on all day with this!

You're welcome!

I started this journey in October 2012. I'm so excited to be submitting for surgery on tomorrow! This has been a strenuous process! There have been a lot of ups and downs and I hope they were worth it! I'm a state employee and this is their first year covering WLS. I had a 6 month weight management program requirement with 3 months being consecutive. My physicians office is unsure of what the insurance's mindset is regarding approval as there has been a lot of back and forth surrounding the requirements! I'm praying that God sees me through this 2 week waiting period!

Don't be scared! Just make sure that you are candidate for the surgery based on your bmi. Also follow all instructions regarding requirements outlined in your policy. I recommend completing weight management with your surgeon's office, as they will make sure they will provide proper documentation. Remember that whatever physician supervised weight management you use, will more than likely require a nutritionist. Everything will fall in place just continue to be diligent.

I know this journey seems impossible but we have to sometimes fight the inevitable for our goals and dreams. Don't give up the fight if you want to win the war!

I congratulate you on your continued success of losing the weight and keeping it off! I'm wearing a size 18/20 and my goal is a size 10. How Lo f did it take you to reach your goal?

What is it that you're nervous about?

My insurance company BCBS uses Active Health Management, to manage their insurance. Does any of your insurance companies use Active Health and if so what was your pre-determination experience like?
