  1. Well I was scheduled to have surgery at the end of December but I called an had mine rescheduled for the 1st week of January. I really would like to do in December because I'm very anxious, but my choice is based mainly on deductible issues. I want the max out of pocket fees I spend on surgery to cover me a whole year, not just 2 weeks! Idk maybe I'm crazy....
  2. Exactly! If I have surgery in January I would meet deductible an max out of pocket in January so I would be good on payin for the rest of the year
  3. Need Input!!! This is what I've been considering, don't think I'm crazy. Ok as u no from my last post I have 1 more visit to complete supervised visit an then have egd to do an psych eval. I was going to finish everything by the 15th so I could have surgery by the end of December, but now I'm considering having the egd an psych eval dne first week of January. Now of course I dnt want to wait but at the same time I'm thinkn about my deductible an max out if pocket fees. If I do in January I'm covered for the whole year of 2014 without paying a dime all year! What is your thoughts on this? Am I over thinking this? Another plus is Christmas an partying/drinking for New Years! Lol Input please???

  8. You look great! I can see such a big difference
  9. Well I am 5'7" an I weight 275 an I'm shooting for a 175
  10. Yes they are very nice there. Everyone has been very helpful an informative on everything. I haven't any problems.... At least not yet! Lol (fingers crossed that I don't!)
  11. Idk wat the dd stuff is! I put a pic of the thumbs up from emoji an it showed up on here as that! Lol
  12. Congrats on your success! ????Do u have any before an after pics?
  13. Hey terry I just got through reading your introduction, an I see u have waxing salons that do make up tatoos! I live in the pearland area an have been looking for a place that does this. Do u have a salon that is in the Houston area?
  14. Well I have picked dr scarsbourgh at Tlc, an I have already started all my insurance requirements. I should be done in November, so I should be sleeved in December!
  15. I am also in Houston area, well pearland to be exact(288South). I'm doing supervised diet an will be done with that November 5, so I'm looking at a December date! Also I'm using Tlc dr Scarsborough an dr yu for surgery(=
  16. My last dietitian appointment is November 5 an then we can submit to insurance. My dr told me that my surgery will be in December!
  17. Was ur highest weight also ur surgery weight? Did u have to do liquid diet before surgery? An if so howuxh did u loose?
  18. I have been currently completing my insurance requirements for approval to get sleeve. I'm doing the 6 month supervised diet program now an I'm losing weight fast. If I loose to much weight will I still be able to have wls? Don't they go by your initial weight? I've lost weight before with diets but the weight always comes back worse! I would rather get the surgery for the long term affect.
