  1. It's not Cigna that is choosing not to cover it. It's your employer. Employers get to choose what is and not covered on the health plans that they offer to their employees. Your best bet is to write to your HR/Benefits department to encourage them to add this benefit to all employees health plans explaining the benefits it would provide to them as a company. If you do a google search there are example letters out there. If your insurance is not through an employer and is privately based then that particular plan has the exclusion and you would have to find a different plan that has that benefit on it, which could have a higher premium to it.
  2. I've had both bypass (12-4-14) and sleeve (03-16-15). Cause I'm that lucky. I have a sleeve now. How do you go from bypass to sleeve? I've never heard of that before and a quick Google search couldn't provide me with any info. I've heard of sleeve to bypass, but not the other way around.
  3. My weight finally moved! 182.8! Woohoo!
  4. I usually get dizzy when I'm not getting enough water in. Hope you get it figured out!
  5. Today is my 30th birthday, and I weigh less than I did when I was in high school. 30th birthday weight is 183.8!

  10. Down 130lbs! Size 24 to a size 14. Still have around 40lbs that I would like to lose. I would like to lose it by my 1 year surgiversary on 3/25/16. Just gotta keep trucking!
  11. I'm down 130lbs since 3/25. I feel great. Still have around 40lbs to go. Goal is 145-150.
  12. Thank you! I actually get that a lot. Most friends guess I'm a size 10/12. I think it's because I get pretty narrow right below my boobs (where this dress comes in at) I still want to lose 36-41 more pounds putting me at 145-150. We'll see. I'm just letting my body lead the way lol
  13. Thank you!! I am 5'7". I started at 316 (size 24) and I'm currently 186 (size 14)
  14. Thank you both so much. I can't begin to explain to you how it makes me feel to know that I've been an inspiration. It makes me all mushy and happy!!! I'm happy to help in anyway I can so PLEASE if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me. I'll help the most I can. I found someone on here to be my sounding board and now she and I are best friends!
  15. Today's weight is 186.0 and my goal is 175.0 We'll see if I can hit that with all the holidays coming up!
  16. Sorry! I can't believe I forgot to post 188.8
  17. Sleeved on 3/25/15. Down 127lbs. 38 more pounds to to my goal. Coming off very slowly now. But I'm so much more happy than before.
  18. 192.6 At least it's a loss, but if I continue this trend I won't hit my goal
  19. 193.... No change ????
  20. Quick update: been stuck fluctuating between 194-196 for a little over a week now. Probably another stall, but I have a dress to fit into for a wedding on Nov 7th so gonna kick things into high gear. Ordered a kettlebell and some hand weights off of amazon today for same day delivery. Will be waking up an hour earlier and working out in the morning. Also plan to do a squat challenge to get my saggy non-butt up lol
