Congrats and good luck on yours !

Oh gosh that means I'll have to weight forever !!!

Congrats !!!!! When did you submit your paperwork in ?

So yeah.... One more letter ( primary physician). But he won't give it to me until he gets results from a biopsy I'm getting done June 12..... The wait/weight is killing me ! I want to look and feel good already. For those going through the same process lets pray and hang in there. We're almost there!

Anxiously waiting !!!! So I have a folder with all the stuff I will be sending to insurance. I have all letters but 2 (primary doctor and psych eval) which I should receive in the next 2 weeks!!! I'm really nervous. Time is ticking and I'm really hoping for a June surgery. For all those going through the process along with me good luck on this journey our time is soon to come !!! Praying for a speedy trial lol this is all I can think about

Congrats to both of you starting this journey. I am now through my supervised diet and have been approved for surgery. I have my pre surgical testing then hopefully will have the surgery on May 6th. It seemed long during the journey but all of it will be worth it. Good Luck!

How long did the approval process take from the moment you sent out your application ?

Hoping for a June date as well !!! Maybe early July. I have my primary physicians writing me letters, I have my NUT appt tomorrow morning, and scheduling my psych eval around this week maybe next week. Should have all my papers and letters ready to send by the end of this month. Praying for the time to speed up !!!!

Perhaps not everyone has the condition ? Maybe some just have darkness from their inner thighs rubbing

Are you pushing this product? This is the second thread you've pushed it on. My Pink Wink, like other bleaching products, does not cure the cause for the darkness. It simply masks it.

Actually I'm not, I'm just trying to help everyone who's had the same thing because I know how horrible it is to go to the beach and have to be careful not to show the darkness of your inner thighs, and as long as it doesn't show it doesn't matter to me. I just want it gone when I'm at the beach or with my significant other. It's a recommendation, which I thought was the point of this forum..... To help each other.

Guys i tried this cream called my pink wink! It's awesome i use it on my inner thighs and has gotten rid of mostly all the darkness in less than a month!!! I got the version bleach babe ! Let me know if you use it/ have used it/ or have any questions

Okay for everyone ok this posts listen up !!! I haven't had the surgery yet, but I was looking into a cream for dark areas near my inner thighs and boy did I find it !!!! The best cream ever, I was a little doubtful at first if it was really going to work but it does!!! It works for me like magic. I'm not going to lie its not cheap it's like 40-50$ for 1oz of cream but its so worth it! And u don't need a lot of it! I just bought some on Amazon. It works for all areas of the body armpits, face, vagina, butt hole. Anywhere that needs to get lightened it works! The magic cream is called my pink wink. There are different versions I got the bleach babe! Let me know if you guys buy it and like it hope this helps

With all the exercise do you guys feel you have any loose skin ? I've been thinking about this procedure but I don't want to be flabby, I never have been that way. Just curious

My birthday is June 9th and I'm hoping to take in all paper work and approval process to be speedy so I can get sleeved by June !!

Just hold down and click on quote instead of reply and itll reply directly.. im pretty new too! Lol... the day of surgery I weighed 221.. that was March 6th.. as of today im weighing in at 204... the small incisions scars are very tiny those will definitely disappear after a while... the bigger one where the stomach is taken out of is about an inch wide and it doesnt look horrible but its very visible...

Lol!!!! Finally !!! How sad and I work for Tmobile I'm supposed to be techy

Do you live in Miami I can refer you an amazing surgeon !

Do you live in Miami ?

Yeah I think so, I have to see what the surgeon says after some paperwork. Thanks I appreciate it!! Btw I'm new to this forum how do you reply directly ? And if you don't mind me asking how much have you lost and are the scars left from surgery really bad ?

They told me that my BMI had to be above a 40, or it could be 35 with 2 comorbities. Apart from that they said they would cover 80% of the surgery. Which is better than nothing so I'm hoping I will be approved.

Was your BMI above a 40?

Omg thank you so much, I was so afraid of going completely bald. I'll rock short hair if I lose 40 pounds !! Hair grows back

Do you go completely bald ?

All the hair on your head falls ? Or just gets thinner ?

Thank you so much ! I pray every night too, right before going to sleep and imagining myself with the body I have always wanted. Getting to my ideal weight will help me become fertile, this makes me so happy! Knowing that I don't have to worry about not having children. I feel like sharing this procedure with everyone !!!!!!! Thank God for these amazing surgeons who are giving us all a second chance !

Hello my name is Karina, currently 19. Will turn 20 by June and I'm hoping to get sleeved before then. Yesterday I went to my first visit with my future surgeon (God willing)! It was so great, and I felt like a confirmation meeting him that this is the right thing to do. I have been reading for months blogs written by you, these are the same blogs that have inspired me to make that appointment that will change my life. Yesterday when I went for the appointment I had taken a letter I wrote to my surgeon on why I wanted this surgery he couldn't help but tear up and give me a kiss. He guaranteed me that this surgery will change my life and emotionally I would be so much happier. I am really excited for this procedure and my ideal weight coming true. I have been battling weight loss since 5 years old. I currently stand at 5'2 and weigh over 200 pounds. i have menstrual problems/ cholesterol so I'm hoping united health Care will cover the surgery. Please share with me on this blog, I had many questions when I first heard about the surgery so don't be afraid to ask !!!!! Be afraid of not being informed !

Love always ????????
