Good luck today

I had to pop back in and say you and your beautiful daughter seem like the sweetest two ladies and I can not wait to see part 3 of A Walk With Irene.

You are very brave! Congratulations on your project and the education you will be giving to others that do not know about the sleeve as an option is priceless. :D

Good luck ladies!

Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations on your results! I have barely begun the process but I am happy that I found this site too

I see my Dr. at the end of this month for my first weigh in and I am worried about the same thing. He already told me he does not think surgery is a good choice. I think you should have an honest conversation about your struggle and ask him if he has a questions for you. Remind him how many times he has seen you try and fail and all the physical ways e extra weight affects you. Remind him he is there to help you, not judge you. I did that (after all the arguing) and he seemed to soften but I will not know for sure until the next appointment. If your Dr. does not soften up I was told a gynecologist can also write a letter to insurance on your behalf. Good luck and keep us posted

No pictures but my cousin in law had gastric bypass so when she had her tummy tuck after weight loss she also had a breast lift. Her insurance did not cover implants, just the lift but she looks great. She has small shoulders and is short so I think that helped in how well it turned out and how normal the size is for her. They are also right where they should be and she can go without a bra when she wants to. The scarring was not bad and has faded a lot over the past few years. I hope this helps.

Wow!! You look fantastic!

You look so different!

You are so lucky! I hope your journey continues pain free

I am just starting this process. I went to my first seminar August 6 but found out two days later they do not accept my insurance so it would have to be done out of network. I said "no thank you" and now my second seminar is scheduled August 13 with a different surgeon. I am 5' 3" and 230 pounds. After the first seminar I was talking to the guest speaker and another woman told me I do not look like I needed the surgery. It was strange to hear that. I told her I did and that she could not see my high blood pressure, high cholesterol or bad back and painful joints. She apologized but I see what you are saying here. I must look like a lightweight but sure do not feel like one.
