Thank you all!!!

Its almost my anniversary !!

You should feel amazing because you look amazing!!! Congratulations!

Thanks

Congratulations on your 100 pound weight loss. You look great.

Thank you

Thanks everyone I feel so much better than I did with that extra 100 pounds!

Congratulations! ! You look fabulous!!! What was your exercise routine like?

To be honest I don't really have an exercise routine. Walking is the only thing I really consistently did up until about a month and a half ago, I got an elliptical trainer and a leg magic which I've been using 3-4 times a week for about 30-40 min each time. My legs are my worse, I'm bottom heavy and I'm determined to wear shorts by summer

I feel amazing!!!

Thank you!! I feel awesome ???? I think my favorite part so far is being able to shop in the juniors section again lol even tho I'm in my 30's hahaha

Feeling good ☺️

Hi MissezV I started my process in July I needed to get a physch eval done before I could even submitt my paper work and finally I had it the end of Sept' date=' I am confident I have everything I need to submit but my only concern is the weight loss history, I was on a weight loss journey on and off from 2008 thru 2012 and it is documented but it isnt a consistent 6months do you think this will be ok also what were your requirements and the Dr that did your surgery.[/quote']

Hi sorry it's taken me a few days to reply. Media-cal never asked for any weight loss history. All I ever needed was a referral from my primary care doctor, who was actually a new doctor and the first time I went to see him was for the referral. All he did was check my bmi and then I had to get clearance from all the other doctors they send me to see; lung, heart, physch eval etc... After that was done the surgeons office submitted my paperwork and I was approved in a week and given a date about three weeks out. My doctor was Thomas Hirai in San Jose

Hi, I have medi-cal in Cali and just had my sleeve done in May. The whole process took me about 5 months. The approval took about a week. Feel free to message me if you have any questions

Thank you guys sooo much

Thank you everyone!! I'm loving this journey

Get it GURL!!! You look fab! What were your stats prior to the 3 months?

Thanks! My starting weight was 255, day of surgery 241 and current is 194....surgery was May 20th

Loving my new body and the way I'm feeling these days!! No regrets whatsoever

Thank you both for your responses, I'll give the dole fruit a try I need to satisfy this craving

I'm 4 weeks post op and I see my doctor this week but just wondering when everyone started eating fruit....I'm craving it!!!

Thank you all!!!! I can't tell you how much I appreciate it

So I need help, I start my 2 week pre-op liquid diet on May 6th. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what Protein Shakes to buy, and also how many shakes I should drink a day. If possible I'm looking for something inexpensive also the Vitamins I should start taking, just looking for recommendations on where to buy them(cheap) and brands and stuff like that. Any input is greatly appreciated

Thank you everyone for the support !! It means so much to me!!

No advice but congratulations and good luck!

I start liquids May 1 with a May 15 op date!

Good luck to you too!! And thanks!!
