That is amazing work Bill!!! At the moment, funny you speak of cars. My mil loaned hubby and I her car until hubby and I could afford our own car (hopefully soon!!) Well hers is a 2014 Chevy Spark. Well it's a common problem that heater core goes out on these models. (Mil voided any warranty by having a random guy bypass the heater core with a system of hoses and clamps.) Here we are in Colorado with no heat whatsoever, the hose and clamps separate often so driving is frustrating filling the car with smoke and gross fumes. Hubby is my a mechanic, but a nurse, but can temporarily fix the hack job of the heater core. The fix is $700+ hubby and I can't afford it along with mil. Hubby tried to fix it himself, but does not have the tools or room (it's a tiny car he's 6'5) to completely take car dash apart and put back together. Bill wish you lived closer to give pointers and assist us with finding a good used vehicle!! Sent from my Alcatel_4060O using BariatricPal mobile app

I giggled at the delivery as well!! You are awesome!!! I had surgery on 11/09/15. Shortly thereafter a horrible series of events happened: we lost our apartment due to an altercation between my husband and a neighbor. Her dog was off leash and attacked our service dog through an enclosed fenced area, and I was pushed to the ground by her shoving me. Hubby defended me and punched her while I was trying to make her dog release mine. Apartment company decided that we had 3 days to move out BC cops were dispatched to our location. The apartments falsely stated we were evicted. Because of the eviction on our record we had a hard time finding a new place. In the meantime I had surgery (before the eviction incident) I lost Tricare prime insurance because we could not afford the premiums. I received Medicaid after Tricare was lost. Here is the kicker: they refused to treat me for all of the side effects that I was having: nausea,gi issues, low blood sugar, blood pressure issues, Vitamin absorption, all fun stuff!! They stated that I should go back to the clinic on post that did my surgery...it was a bad vicious circle. Finally a few months ago, I was able to afford Tricare prime insurance starting in November 2016. Last month I had severe abdominal pains and went to er. It was found that my IUD I had placed a year before surgery was lodged in a inappropriate place. It took an act of Congress to get an appt with an obgyn to have the IUD removed. At that appt, it took 2 people and 2 instruments to remove it in one piece. I had no damage to my lady parts, so I'm still able to carry a child. I'm also highly allergic to the whole cillin family of medicine, as well as coconut. Sent from my Alcatel_4060O using the BariatricPal App

I removed IUD last month, just shy of my 1 yr anniversary of sleeve surgery. My IUD slipped and was causing trouble, so I decided to have it removed and no birth control. Hubby chooses not to wear condoms... I want to have kids, but he wants to wait a bit until he is finished with nursing school in about 2 years. Well I downloaded the ovia fertility app and have been tracking my cycle. I don't initiate sex at all, but I'm always horny!! I just don't want him to think I got pregnant on purpose. We have been married for 5 years.

I was recommended to download the my fitness pal app from my nutritionist and it's very helpful!! Love tracking what I eat, exercise, and water intake. You can make notes and treat it as a diary.

I'm shrinkinglili on my fitness pal. I don't make the best of food choices, but here's to making better ones,especially after the holidays!!

Congratulations!!! I am just a bit over a year post op from the gastric sleeve surgery 12/09/15. I'm 5'5 and highest weight was 288. I'm now down to 148. My goal weight range was 130-140. (Whatever I feel most comfortable at.) I have not exercised until now, had lots of health issues that prevented that post op. I'm not on birth control either, (IUD removed last month.)so I could get pregnant any time. It's a small fear that I will gain baby weight and can't keep it off.

There is a group that I am heavily involved in on Facebook called All Things Bariatric. It is a closed group, so tell the administrator that Ashley Cuff Osgood sent you. Everyone there is so amazing, supportive and gives the kick in the butt needed. If you are having struggles both pre and post weight loss surgery, this is THE place to be!!!

I have about 8 pairs of polyester scrubs in the 2x-3x range. They are plain colored and all colors of the rainbow. I live in colorado springs co. pm if you are interested.

I live in colorado springs area, so not too far away!!

Hi my name is Ashley Osgood, living in Colorado Springs CO. I started my journey for weight loss in December 2014. I had my gall bladder out in December by Dr Wilcox. He happened to be the head surgeon for weight loss surgery at Ft. Carson. That was the beginning for a whole new outlook on life then. I took a few months to think about the surgery and its complications. My mother in law lives with my husband and I. She was less than thrilled to hear of my decision for weight loss surgery. She is absolutely against it and is very vocal about it. Praying for our own place away from her very soon. Anyways I have completed my extensive checklist for tricare approval for surgery. I was finally cleared for surgery on 05/14/15, I was so excited I almost bawled!!! I made the soonest appointment with my surgeon June 10, yeah that seems like such a long wait for something you are looking forward to. Hopefully I can be seen earlier if possible. The wait times for actual surgery after you see your surgeon is about 3 weeks. looks like i might be a July sleever.

Yowza!!! That is a very cute outfit!!! So proud of you. Keep up the good work!!! Im still preop, but im wishing for results just as quick.
