Went to the shoe store and was finally able to wear cute boots that fit around my calves with extra room!!!

You look amazing

I'm 34 years old...I can't remember when I stopped paying attention to the scale, although as I got older it got worse. My highest weight was 292 in August 2012...I stay away from anything that I couldn't stop at one with...I have followed my plan by the book. You have to go in knowing that you will never be able to eat again the way you did before. You also have to realize that even though you may be able to eat it, doesn't mean you should. Somehow we all got ourselves to the point that we needed to take the drastic decision of wls. Take muralax when you get home from the hospital. Our body's go through such changes that although we aren't eating real food after the surgery , we still need to have a bowel movement. Have the doctor order Celebrex for the pain after ...helps with the tugging pain you will feel in your side ... I became lactose intolerant after the surgery. I had severe dumping from any juice. When i came home I had Quaker oats perfect portion cinnamon oatmeal and uses Splenda to sweeten it , chicken broth ,jello , and sugar free pops. Pay attention to your body, if something doesn't feel right , call your dr...don't take any chances ...good luck

I work for insurance and you have to use methods to treat it ... The dr has to state you tried conservative measures before most ins will pay for it, sucks ... So my advice is taking lots of pictures and unfortunately let it get worse...

Don't give up and don't always go by what the ins says either ..unfortunately it is sometimes the blame game ..I work for health insurance and although I would hope everyone has their crap together and on the same page it doesn't always seem that way... Don't give up;)

I just tried on two different styles of jeans at Old Navy in a size 18! They both fit and one was actually a little bit too big around the waist. Yea!
