Have you had any cosmetic work done? I'm concerned for the excess skin I know I will have (not that I don't already) because I am susceptible to skin irritation in the folds of skin. I know my insurance is going to make me jump thru a ton of hoops and I don't know if any cosmetic stuff wil be covered

Thank you

Thanks tho my "little one " is 20 yrs old and 6ft5 lol

I almost have a bmi of 70 and they denied me. Because it wasn't "necessary", even though I have HBP. Go figure, i appealed it and the insurance company approved it after a few months. Surgery is tomorrow morning

Mine is 50. I hope they don't pull the usual crap. How they don't have more people busting in with high powered weapons on a daily basis just amazes me. Hell they give me the run around with their mail order prescription thing on a regular basis. I blame them for my Hpb for the stress they put me under. That and the extra 150 lbs I have

Okay how do you erase accidental double posts?

Hi all, I'm planning on having the surgery. I just sent in my paperwork. I haven't even had my first dr appt yet. I need this so bad I'm 6 ft and 371lbs. Ive had both of my knees replaced and have stenosis and a crushed disc in my back. I still have problems walking tho at least I can do it now. Before knee surgery I really couldn't. I have uncontrolled blood pressure (4 meds a day and still has a mind of its own sometimes as high as 200/100) I finally made the decision a few months ago when my brother died. He was only 62. He was my hero since I was a kid. He didn't die from obesity per se but being heavy I'm sure didn't help. I decided that I want to live way longer than that and I'm hoping it's not too late(I'm 50) I'm also trying to get my husband to get it done because he had diabetes and is very heavy. I tend to cook very well and enough for an army and it's just 3 of us. My mother and aunts were from the "eat this, you'll feel better" or the "eat this to celebrate" mode of thinking so I've always been a big girl. I was heavy when I had my son but was good and only gained 16lbs for my pregnancy. He was 9lbs 7ozs of it. My mother passed the day before I was going to have my son so that just wrecked me and the six weeks of maternity leave and the depression(both post partum and the loss of my mother) I followed the "eat this you feel better" ALOT. So here I am at this weight. I've been up and down but could never stay down. Ready for a change, scared to death, but ready. I've read so much on this board already. I just hope I can get the ball rolling quickly. I don't wanna chicken out. Sorry to be so long winded but holding this inside and waiting had never been my strong point. I look forward to getting to know you all.

This is my first post, I just turned my paperwork in but I've been lurking for a week or so lol. I was reading this thread and I found this
