  7. So I had my RNY done in 8/10/15 and due to a couple of complications I was in ICU longer and my hospital bill came in at $176,870.00. So now Aetna contacts me and asked if I had any other insurances they might be able to share the cost with? I said NOPE just you sweet people at Aetna LOL.

  9. I had my RNY done on 8/10/15 and as of yesterday I am down 100 and feeling AMAZING!!! I only have about 45 more to go and my question is how does our body or system know it's time to stop losing more weight? It's coming off so fast it's almost scary not knowing if it's going to stop when I need it to?
  10. I have started a new love for black Beans, chili & anything that's ground with beans and Soups. Does anyone see any issues with this way of eating? Also please keep in mind the max I will eat is maybe a 1/4 to 1/2. I have no desire for steak, chick pieces, or anything that I can chew up really really small. Sounds like my RNY is working great cause my taste has for sure changed for the good! Anyone else finding they are similar to my info above? Thanks y'all ????????
  11. @@GAWildKat that's what I am going to do tomorrow is reach out to my doctor and ask him.

  20. @@Dub I'm so happy to hear you got this under control and your on the trail to the new you! I'm telling you my friend your doing to tell yourself shortly after your RNY that it was the best thing you've ever done for yourself! Tell BCBS to take a long walk of a short pier! UGH!

  22. The pictures I posted are what I have been taking twice daily. Can any of you recommend a different or better one?
  23. Wow is all I could say last night when I started pulling out old clothes. I started at a tight 58 waist. Last night I found some size 50's and they look like they were tailored to fit me. I'm like WOW this is really happening all before my eyes. I'm so excited and can't wait to see what the future holds for me.
