  4. Wow !! Those are my same numbers to the T !!! I wanna be like u when I get my surgery .. We have same HW and SW I'm currently 233 waiting on endoscopy to finally send ins papers and receive surgery date.. Sometimes it feels like its not going to happen . You look amazing . I don't even know you and I'm so happy for you . I know your free finally from the mental torture of being over weight. Please keep me posted def wanna see your pic when you hit your goal ..
  5. Those pics are the best !! Needed to see that
  6. Wow !! You look great . I'm sure it feel good almost un real . What was your surgery weight and what's your current weight ?
  7. I also had similar pain I had pancreatitis .
  8. I really don't understand why the insurance companies give such a hard time , at the end it will be the same result . Approved!! why the heartache and the B.S . When someone decides WLS is needed we are willing to jump run and go through anything to get the surgery . You can't shoot us down we wanna be alive again not jailed in our bodies. Congrats on your approval. You saw it thru for an entire year and it will be worth every struggle .
  9. Lol Laura !!! I do open my mouth lol. For some odd reason it must go out my nose at the same time . It's not fun to blow Pasta out of your nose. Yuck
  10. I hate throwing up it always comes out my nose.
  11. Lol lotti ! I always feel that's way. My worst half is like a security guard !! SECURITY.......
  12. Oh good for you glad to hear someone doesn't have to suffer for 3-6 months before getting approved by the insurance company . I'm in NY I've done most of my app in 3 weeks I just need to do sleep study and I started in feb 9 . I want this so bad already it feels like its not gonna happen.
  13. Wow !! That's fast thats awesome . Where do you live? what insurance company do you have? I'm jealous I want that insurance company . Lol
  14. I say do your surgery . If u have your parents or his parents have them come stay with you and help you with the kids . Your husband will have another good shoulder (lol) it's not his leg.. If it were me I would do it. Let him postpone his surgery you have the right to be you and happy again not always be last for everyone !! NO more!
  15. What was you start weight ?
  16. Wow you look great . Good for you .. I know you must feel like a new person . Amazing so happy to see those results . I haven't had the sleeve yet, after being big for so long it feels almost impossible that I can be normal again like you .. Congrats I know it must of been a lot of work .. :-)))))
  17. Omg girl hell yea there is a big difference !!! Good for you !! Yay no more muffin top no more kangaroo pouch neither . I have both I can't wait to be sleeved.... Be proud be confident you are looking good !!!
  18. That's how you would gain weight if u ate that much . Don't give it too much thought stay positive.
  19. Hey I'm pretty sure that's just water weight. Think about how many of those IV you received . I don't think it's its cause u ate 3500 calories consecutive .
  20. Unfortunately I have no advice . I've had dumping for the past 5 years even after my gall bladder was removed . I guess the best thing to ask your doctor what u can do to minimize the occurrences . Sorry I know it's painful . I haven't gotten WLS yet but I hope it can correct or help my dumping syndrome .
  21. My gallbladder was removed 5 years ago .. That was not fun . I had pancreatitis at the same time
  22. Wow this is what I needed !!! I do t know anyone with sleeve or bypass and hearing first hand for actual sleevers is great . !!! My first initial visit the PA said I should get bypass so she threw me off. I'm going to stick to sleeve it's best for long term not just getting the weight off ... I wanna live healthy Thank you so much for your help .. And I'm going to write on my tummy with a sharpie SLEEVE . Lol
