denicedowns got a reaction from stephg in is this normal?
Don't freak out. The surgery is not bad. The wait was the worse part for me. When I woke up, I keep waiting for them to start my surgery! Then they said I was done and already back in my room. In an hour, I got up and walked the wing of the hall where I was. It really was not bad. I am thankful every day now that I did it!!

denicedowns got a reaction from caligirl3 in Why would Cigna deny me?
I had to get my surgeon to do a peer to peer consultation with the Cigna Doctor. Took a 2 weeks to get it done, but I was approved after they talked. Good luck.

denicedowns reacted to 920amy in What do you hate about being overweight?
For me, it would be what 'did' I hate about being overweight. I admit a lot of things that I hated I didn't even realize because they had become such a part of my life sadly, but I can look back and see and realize it now. Here is my list in no particular order:
Not being able to crouch down and pet my dogs, pick things off the floor without enormous effort.
Not being able to tie my shoes without sitting down, huffing and puffing to get my foot high enough to reach the laces.
Not being able to 'wipe' certain areas very easily (if you know what I mean).
Sweating after I ate.
Not being able to wear high heels without feeling like I was going to topple over.
Not being able to buy boots because I couldn't zip them past my ankles.
Not being able to comfortably sit on certain chairs, or on an airplane in the seats.
Not being able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting red in the face and feeling like my chest would explode.
Having to ALWAYS shop in plus size stores, never being able to shop for cute clothes.
Being embarrassed to go to public events that involved dressing up and/or eating.
Those are the main things I can think of now. This surgery has changed my life!! It's not even been a year, and I already look and feel AMAZING!

Congratulations Fred, you are doing so well.
Kae2, I am cold as Well but my Iron levels aren't low. My husband says the surgeon must have operated on my temperature centre! LOL.
