Tabby Closet

I agree with butterfly. I didn't have any complication after my surgery.. I'm post op 2 months.. With the exception of being tired which happens after you have had surgery..

Well.. I tore my favorite shirt yesterday. I had to laugh because I didn't know how I could part with shirt after losing weight. The shirt can't be repair.. And I put in the trash. Funny how things work..

Please...Please...put yourself first! I kind of chuckle when you said you been dating a a lot. I did the same thing when I lost about 90lbs. I was loving all the attention.. And gain it all back and some. Don't lose focus. The men will be there after.. And you can continue to date but be more aware of YOUR goal.

I had my second infusion iron today.... I feel great!

I also have to take iron infusions. I'm taking a drug called feramane. There are two doses. I take my second dose tomorrow. My iron was 4 or under. Definitely go to hemotolgist. Also regarding your insurance pray. I had a simIiar situation which I had to switch companies and the new company didn't have the rider. I had to pick up my husband insurance... But my insurance had to deny me first. It will all work out for you.

Great post! I feel the same way. I have very expensive clothes taste.. And somewhat mourning my clothes. I know I need to give them away... one day...But some of my dresses I love very much. I just didn't like the size I had to buy them in. Lololol. I've even though of getting the clothes altered .. That's crazy sounding huh?

I work in nova.. In Springfield.. I was sleeved on the same day as you.

Be patient.. It's going to come faster than you thought. I started jan 2013 and was sleeved jul 2013. Can't believe it will be two months next week.

Pixie is correct. I had BCBS -DC. My company paid the rider to I included in the insurance. But I had to switch companies and the new company didn't cover it. They felt the surgery was cosmetic. I had to pick up my husband insurance which has more out of pocket expense, but they did included the weight loss rider..

Hi Everyone.. A little confuse.. Is there a support group being setup in PG. if so , I would like to join. Assan101103@yahoo.com.

But would strongly suggest when it's time for pre-op follow the drs orders. Some doctors will not do the surgery if you didn't do your pre-op diet. My Dr. is one of them. He started a surgery and didn't complete it due to the person didn't do the pre-op diet. The pre-op is to shrink your liver.

Don't worry.. I didn't lose any weight during my 6 months. But once I started pre- op diet. I lost 8 lbs and the post op July 10th, I've lost roughly 23 lbs.

Your post came right on time! The last two weeks I've been getting up at 3:45 and 5am to work out. That is the only time, because I have so many family duties when I get home from work in the afternoons and too.. tired to workout. I needed your inspiration! You gave be a renew energy that this is what I have to do. No pain.. No gain.. Lololol. I was sleeved on July 10th. Working out 5 days a week.. And hoping it will get easier. Thank you for encouragement.

I agree the class is better but sometimes running around including 45 drive home from work,cooking, taking son to football practice and getting the kids to sleep its hard to fit in the exercise. Unforunately, my husband is working nights temporary... Thanks for the suggestions!

Ok.. I have to lose over 100lbs. I am post op 2 weeks today. Veteran and new people that have lost over 100lbs and more.... how do you keep motivated to exercise? I live a hecked lifestyle and need motivation. I woke up today at 5 am to exercise and after I exercised I fell on the bed and relax.. for 30 minutes before I had to start my day. I have to admitted it felt good to get it out of the way. I kickboxing dance for 30 using my TV on demand.. Man did I get a workout! Felicia

HORRAY!!! I'm excited and nervous.. Haven't pack yet.. Thanks to this blog.. I know I can do this!!!
