My self pay was $12k plus another $300 for nutritionist and psych eval. I pulled cash from my credit card to pay for it. You can pay by card but they charge a little more for that.

Wow, great post and excellent results.

Today I am 6 weeks post-op sleeve surgery and I have lost 23 lbs. I am very happy with that result. I am going to post my weekly weights so people that are frustrated with stalls can see every week is different. It all adds up. This past week has been a good week and I have not done anything different. My body was just ready to lose more again. 10/15 - 230 - surgery day 10/22- 218 10/29 - 217 11/5 - 215 11/12 - 212 11/19 - 211 11/26 - 207 Total lost 23 lbs! Have 57 lbs to go.

Weigh in - 209

Good job! You look great.

You look good . How much have you lost?

I use livestrong.

I also took 10 days off. Just told people had vacation time to take so I didn't lies it at end of year and was just doing staycation to take care of things I usually don't have time for. I was "dieting" before surgery, and they still think I am, so nothing said about weight loss.

Hang in there. I had a rough 10 days post op. Then after the 10th day I turned the corner and things got better quickly. It was hard vomiting everyday, afraid to drink or eat, had to go to my PCP to get IV fluids. I felt a lot of regret during that time. But things do get better. I am almost 5 weeks out and doing great. I wish you a speedy recovery!

Glad you are doing well. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I had the nightmares also for the first few days after surgery. I wonder what causes it???

Good for you. You are doing great. I can't wait to be at a loss of 68 lbs. I am down 18 lbs and my surgery was 4 weeks ago today. One day I will get there.

Wow. You are looking good!

I don't think people mean anything negative about you before. I think they are trying to encourage you. It is hard for people to know what to say. If they didn't acknowledge your accomplishment, how would you feel then? That is when I would feel bad. Cheer up. Shut out the bad thoughts. Rejoice everyday. You are doing great.

Wishing you the best on your recovery. The first few days are the worse, but it does get better.

Thx for doing this to keep up motivated over the holidays. CW - 212 Goal - 195

Wow, sorry you had that complication. Way to keep on top of it when you knew something was not right.

Quiche and chicken salad are a couple of ideas.

I'm in and will post starting weight and goal weight on Monday. Thx

Way to go!!!!

Tried the turkey pepperoni chips and they are awesome. Satisfies the crispy, salty, spicy craving.

Thx for sharing your recipes.

Sounds good! I will be trying.

Yes from Nashville area and just had surgery with Dr. Westmoreland on 10/15/15.
