  1. Approved right away with a BMI of 44 at 21 years old. :/ No questions asked! (Empire insurance plan) I'm ready to drop 100 by next Christmas! Surgery date: 12/15/12
  2. As an employee in the nursing department at my local hospital, I see post op patients daily! It is such a small ratio for blood clots after surgery: if you are moving around and doing what you have to do to prevent them. I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks as well so I understand the worry but let me reassure you that you're going to be okay! Keep smiling and working hard! Good luck with everything
  3. Best of luck to you girls! You'll be fine! Those thoughts are normal among everyone I'm sure.. Let us know how it goes!!!!!
