    Cupcake got a reaction from tiggerbug in Anyone have gastric bypass   
    I have friends who have had it 10 years ago and no problems I am almost 2 years post opt and I have had no problems at all I take my Vitamins and exercise everyday and eat healthy. Remember this is a lie style change that you have to be willing to commit to as well as make the necessary changes to be healthy, this surgery alone is not just the answer but the choices you make to exercise , eat healthy and take your Vitamins. Good luck.

    Cupcake got a reaction from mem1 in I cant stop having sex   
    LOL I was the same way right after surgery , my husband and I have always had a great sex life but now its even better he is enjoying the benefits and so am I , with the weight lost I was encourage to try new things and everything has been great. I do not know if age has anything to do with it because I am 44 but I think with the weight lost gone your self esteem goes up, I know mine has.

    Cupcake reacted to Llamalover17 in Help! I'm cheating and I can't stop! - KINDOF...   
    Hello All! I had Gastric Bypass on July 14, 2016. My highest weight was 275. I have lost weight on my own many times but always fail to keep it off. When I started my WLS journey, I weighed in at 258. The day of surgery, I weighed 236 and I currently weight 185. My next post of visit is November 7. At my last post op (September 7), my surgeon told me she expected me to lose another 30 to 40 pounds by November 7th. I have only lost 3!!!!
    I am happy with my results so far, but I am concerned that I have started my self destructive ways that always tend to get the best of me. I am able to eat pretty much ANYTHING. NO DUMPING! I have started eating carbs again and I need motivation to stop! I haven't gained, but I know I should be taking advantage of this time. I have also slacked in going to the gym since I went back to work. :-(
    Anyone willing to be a support buddy????
    Has anyone had a similar experience?
    Am I already done losing????
    I need DISCIPLINE!!!!

    Cupcake got a reaction from Lynne5767 in How to get Insurance to cover Plastic Surgery   
    Hello everyone I just had a Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, and belly button removal and Lipo and insurance covered the entire process, you have to check with your insurance company and everyone insurance is different, I have federal insurance which covers just about anything, but you must have documentations from day one and as stated above some insurance ill cover the skin removal only to relieve any hanging, skin, liquid fluids, and rashes etc it also has to hang a certain amount below the mons, you have to be a year post opt of surgury as well as your weight have to be stable for 6 months and documented, showing the different techniques, creams, and exercise you have done to address the issue . Good luck I am now 5 days post opt from my tummy tuck and doing great.

    Cupcake got a reaction from Madeleine Renee in Question about being "finished" with weight loss   
    Hello everyone those who are afraid of gaining wright please remember if you are working out at least 3 times a week and eating with Portion Control you should be fine . You have to burn more than your consuming . I know we are all afraid of regaining weight and just as important as loosing weight . Focus on one day at a time and making good choices you got this .
