  1. I started my 6 mnth in July.. soooo 2 mnths down and counting... its going (slowly) wishing it went as fast as the rest of the time does when there is nothing waiting at the end

    Stop it!

    Why does this remind me of a Jerry Springer episode in the making?

  4. 1000% yes to all this stuff.. I will not miss any of it.. or have to expect some of it to happen in the future!
  5. I quit in Jan of 2014 after almost 18ish yrs of smoking with a mix of nicotine patches and just plain being over it.. I still have friends that smoke and now I can't stand the smell, which is good since I know it wouldn't be that hard to pick it back up.. that and I am only 2 months into my 6mnth waiting period.. would be pretty dumb to start when I am so close lol

    Pcos and metformin

    I asked the same question in regards to metformin and pcos and my pcp told me I would always be on it to treat the pcos.. I would for sure ask the surgeon or your pcp

    UHC Case worker

    I have UHC as well- I left mine 3 messages but she calls me back at her convienence last week I tried to call her but she was on vacation and had a dffrnt number to contact.. they called back super fast, unfortunately they couldn't help me with anything only my coordinator could (wth)... I wish you luck! They are supposed to call every 3 weeks from what I understood/was told.. If you are in washington I can provide you with a contact# I was given it may help.. or maybe if you want to try it anyway..

  10. Has anyone tried to put cinnamon or real vanilla in them? Curious to know if that would be allowed post op.. I'm not there yet (still pre) but it would be good to know. I know its good in regular protein drinks now
  11. Thanks @TheCandidate! Saw that today was your day hope all went well
  12. Hello all!! My name is Katie and I have been waiting for insurance approved WLS for what seems like my whole life... I have been overweight and moved to morbidly obese in my teens (I started to binge after my dad died) bow topping the scales at 429lbs at 5'11, and while I don't eat my feelings anymore I do have a problem with food portions, well food in general. I have started my current push for WLS in April of '14 when i found out that I meet their criteria, and finally got the stage 2 approval letter pretty close to my 37th bday (which was the 14th) of this year.... And that makes me super happy (not gonna lie I broke down and cried like 2yr old when I got the stage 2 letter) I have hope that it will help with the diabetes and neuropathy that go with it.. And the frackin c-pap and the hose that I absolutely HATE! I am already pushing for my appts and got some of them in b4 the end of the month, now just waiting out 6 mnths (maybe, the insurance is unsure if that's a hard 6 mnths) of curbing my eating and starting to motivate, which apparently I lack that gene lol, to lose some weight... I have read through most of your stories and have to say I am happy that I am not alone and some of your experiences are eye opening and motivational.. not gonna lie some of the ups and downs I'm not looking forward too but I have a good foundation of ppl who support me and am excited to start this right.. This site also helps because it's always easier when I know other ppl have struggled and it's not just me all by myself so thank you for your posts and advice and even the funny stories and not so funny you're all wonderful!
