Awe that's nice you get to visit so often! Wish I could see my family that often. Have you had your surgery yet?

I've been drinking the Premier protien shakes in chocolate from SAMs club. They are 30 gr protein, 160 cal 4 carbs and less than 1 gr sugar. Very tasty! $18.99 for a case of 12 shakes pre made.

Hi Maria ! What brings you to Columbia?

Wow! What happened that you were in the hospital for 37 days. Glad your finally on the road to recovery!

Good to hear! Keep us all posted! I'll be thinking about you.

For anyone else that may have Champ VA insurance, as long as you meet their criteria, they don't require pre authorization for gastric bypass! Amazing!!

Hi Isla! I was just wondering how you were feeling and if you've heard any new news on another surgery date? I hope your feeling much better now:-)

I would call your insurance. I saw my surgeon on a Friday , they submitted my paperwork same day and found out on Monday that my insurance doesn't need pre approval for bariatric surgery, as long as I have met their guidelines . I have Champ VA. It's like Tricare.

Welcome & congratulations!!

Congratulations! It's right around the corner:-)

Congratulations Don! It must feel amazing!

Welcome Nikki!

Congrats!! So happy for you!

Congratulations!

I'm sorry! My stupid autocorrect messed up your name. I did not mean "Muzzle" mizzlaw. My appologies!

Hi muzzle! I'm so sorry to hear your going through that! I agree that he may be scared about several issues. Sounds like first and foremost he's worried about you losing the weight , feeling great an maybe realizing that he's really a shit and you finding the strength to leave him. Has he always been this way with you or has he just started since he found out you were thinking about the surgery? My husband felt in the beginning that I was taking an un necessary risk and wasn't onboard with the surgery. He since has had a physical with his doctor and his doctor asked why all of a sudden was he concerned about his health etc. and he told him what I was about to do and he told my husband to congratulate me. My husband was taken back by his response and talked to him more indepth about it and now he's being supportive. If this is new behavior for your husband then he may need someone else to explain it to him, but if not.... And I suspect this verbal abuse is not new, love yourself enough to move on as hard as that may be at first. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Be strong!

Congratulations! 49 lbs in a wonderful loss! Can't wait to join you guys!

Your doing great! I have not had surgery yet, still in WAITING phase ugh! I know what you mean though, ya kinda want it to come off overnight considering the extreme measures were taking. You'll get there!

Hang in there girl! Keep me posted on your progress. That stinks that your hubby is deploying. My husband was in the army for 14 years. So glad he's out now. I'm not too far from you. I'm in Columbia. Keeping my fingers crossed your out by Wednesday .
