Thanks

Shyanne how long has it been since your surgery? You look great!!

I know it's usually up to the dr or your insurance but what is required before the surgery?

Congrats on your approval!!

Congrats on your approval!!

Keep up the great work!!!! You look good;)

I'm right there with you I'm 28 and 268 so I'm worried that I'm going to have alot of extra skin but if you excercise I'm sure it will help

Thanks Melhealthy!!

I like him he is a very nice Dr I was looking into going to Wegner or Weaver but my family dr referred me to Woodman and I don't regret it at all;)

Jeepchick42 , we had a friend awhile back that going to get it done and she told us about it icy hour it was great she is 24 5'2 and weighs 327 and really needed the surgery her weight puts her health at more risk than the surgery and my other friend that I've known the longest talked her out of it telling her how dangerous it is but it's dangerous being overweight she has bad back aches breathing problems she has a littlle girl and she lost her husband last year because of diabetes and she needs to be there for her daughter and be healthy ... I would love for all of us to go together it would be a great idea !!! But when you say weight loss surgery to some people it's almost like you said you were going to commit a crime but my husband is a great supporter;)and now I have all of you!!

Hey Solveig I'm so happy for you !!! I'm glad you are able to enjoy time with your family and kids and do things they want you to do !!!! Keep up the great work !!!! Sending hugs back to you from Memphis

Crystalynn ,, I am happy for you !!! And I wish you the best on your journey !!!! I will be chatting with ya;)

Crystalynn , the best of luck to you!!! I feel like they should be happy for me ... I have been reading so many people's stories on here and it's so exciting to me I'm so happy for them and I don't even know them but its because I know where there coming from

I have six kids I'm doing this to be healthier for myself and to be able to do more with them . Last year they wanted me to go on field trips with them and the walking was horrible I am 270 5'4 and my kids are in elementary and I have a 2 year old and I have been over weight since I was like 13 I'm 28 now my dr mentioned it to me and asked if I was interested because I've tried diet centers i go to gyms Ian's its hard so I was like defiantly . My husband is happy for me either way he is very supportive but my friends have been heavy and they have always been really competitive of losing weight so I'm worried it might put a dent in our relationship even though I'm doing it for health reasons:/

How long does it usually take for them to get everything approved before you actually get your surgery ?
