  5. I also had an awesome experience and continue to have an awesome experience. My journey has gone without a single hitch and I have lost 72lbs and am 6 lbs from goal. It seems so surreal still, but you will be here before you know it. Totally natural to be anxious at this point. They will take care of you every step of the way. Dr. Avara and staff are amazing.

  7. Everyone's coverage depends on whether the employer decided they would pay for WLS or not. You have to call UHC and find out if it is a covered benefit for you or not. If not change insurance and pay for a plan that covers it. Or go self pay. If it is excluded these will be your only options.

  13. I make a batch of steel cut oats once a week in the crock pot. I do add cinnamon to them and a lil skim milk and protein powder to them.
  14. I so sympathize with what your saying. I was so depressed and miserable. I made everyone else that way too. This has changed all of our life's: myself, kids, and my sweet lil grand baby. I feel happy, healthy, and terrific.

  16. What does your doc think about you wanting to lose more? Does he say you should be at goal before surgery? I have always been told you should be within 10lbs and stable for 6 months. You do not want to have surgery then lose more and have loose skin. I would get the docs opinion.
  17. Thank you. This video has refreshed my view of my journey. It has honestly been awesome. But when I put it in video all the feelings came out. It was emotional. And if my video helps or encourages anyone that is all I can ask. My intentions are to always help others and let them see how much this has changed my life for the better.
  18. All your kind words mean so much!!! If my journey helps anyone else that's all I can ask for. We are here to support each other and encourage one another.
