KSTUZ got a reaction from Sweet2u in 3 months post op pic!
Hello all!
So I had my real first OMG moment.
I went dress shopping for a wedding I'm in, left picture is 2 weeks after surgery, jan 19th and right picture was today! April 12th.
Same dress but 5 sizes smaller.
84 pounds down from
December 27th 2015.
I was blown away by the side by sides. I can't stop looking and smiling at this picture!! This is, by far, the best thing I have ever done for myself. Today...I'm very proud! ????????

BEST THING IVE EVER DONE!!
I am addicted to moving now. I can't stop, I don't wanna just sit around and stuff my face and be sad for myself, it was tough in the beginning, I threw up if i ate too fast, or drank to quickly.
The whole, no drinking while eating before and an hour after was tough for me.
I'd eat dinner, and then I'd want to go to the gym, but I HAVE to drink while I work out, so then had to wait an hour before i went.
I just had a lil period of time management struggles haha.
But I figured it all out, the first 3 months are a challenge. But I walked EVERYDAY. Even if it was slowly. Then every day got easier, everyday I got stronger. Felt better, didn't hurt when I took a step. Now, with what my fit bit tells me... I'm walking about 8-10 miles a day!
I also work in a hospital, so I'm not at a desk, so I'm lucky.
After surgery I walked the mall cause of all the snow we had, then as it got nice I walked outside, now people actually know me at the gym!!!
I was ashamed to walk in the gym and I had a hard time walking through the doors, I felt like people were staring at me (they are NOT) haha
And I still even now get nervous walking in, but then I hear,
"hey Katie!! Your here early today!!"
And I just get on the elliptical and go to town!!!!
Anyone that has a Fitbit pm me!!
I'm obsessed with mine!! Feel free to ask me anything! I'm here if anyone needs anything!

KSTUZ got a reaction from nickisleeve in approved after 2 denials!
I'm IN!!
Heard from the Lindstroms today and Aetna approved me!!
Kelly and Walter Lindstrom were absolutely incredible. My second level appeal was nothing that I would have ever come up with!
So waiting for the surgeon to call me back, to get a date!!
Thank you to all who have helped and encouraged me the past few months after my denials. I think I would have lost hope if it wasn't for many of you.
I had a really tough year, and this is my light at the end of the tunnel.
I cannot wait!!!
