  3. I totally get how you feel. If I have extra skin I will feel worse than being fat but at least you are getting healthy! Does your insurance not cover it period or did they not think you really needed it?
  4. Does your insurance cover the skin removal?
  5. Not really for me it's about being happy for the past year my bf and I have had sex maybe once not cause the sex is bad but because it doesn't make our relationship. He's just happy to be with me.
  6. Yeah sex is not the most important thing in the world people lol
  7. how long did it take you?
  8. I recommend premier it's the only pre made shake ill drink 30 grams protine, 160 calories and 5 grams of carbs
  9. I actually prefer bigger men. My bf is 6'3" 352 pounds
  10. My doctor is on bored I saw her today and lucky me there is a seminar today and I'm all signed up for that..sadly my insurance requires to to lose 20-30 pounds so I'm going to struggle with that. Any one have suggestions besides listening to my dietitian?
  11. what is normal weight for 5'2"? I'm 5'2"
  12. lmao yeah my grandma didn't even tell me the possibility of farting oil ..I had a few accidents in school. Totally turned me off from any pills unless its herbal..
  13. Any of you try xenical? My grandma got a huge bottle of it and we both tried it and omg those pills made you poop your self..wasn't poop though it was the fatty oil. My uncle ate a huge meal after and had a meeting and during the meeting he leaked oil everywhere LOL I stopped trying pills after xenical
  14. Think my doctor will deny me for not trying Akins? I've done pills,weight watchers,south beach, low carbs,low calorie, and sensa
  15. Well I heard its a pain in the butt to get your insurance to cover the removal. Does the whole rash thing happen to everyone who has a quite a bit of extra skin left?
  16. its one of my biggest fears next to sticking to the diet lol I was seeing pics of people who can do it on their own and it made me feel bad =\
  17. But we are the ones who have to see with clothes off. I get that this is going to help and prevent so many things but I'm young and I want to feel good about my body too...I am not a yo yo dieter the most I can do is maintain because I eat so much.
  18. im 20 but I have seen some people say that age doesn't even help sometimes if you have a lot to lose and if you have been overweight for a long time.
  19. Oh ok thank you I've been really nervous about extra skin and not having the money to get it removed =\
  20. So I want to know losing say 150 pounds by your self vs surgery still gets you extra skin if not why does only wls give you extra skin
  21. How much is that going to cost you?
