Leaving Las Vegas.
On Saturday we dressed up for a night on the town, just like we do every year. Only this year over the course of the evening men and women complimented me on my cocktail dress or told me I looked beautiful.
What was more amazing was I FELT beautiful. I felt like I could smile graciously and accept their compliments with confidence.
Not because I was the thinnest woman in the room or the most lovely but because I am fighting hard for who I am. I fight hard for mental, spiritual, and physical wholeness and health. I feel strong. I feel wise. I feel beautiful.
I feel like for the first time in two decades my outside is starting to match the inside.
I am more proud of that than the number on the scale any day.
Small decisions lead to big changes in a year.r

I work for Cigna, and they denied my pre auth multiple times before they approved it. My surgeon did the peer to peer and was told that they would approve as long as he personally wrote a letter stating I needed the surgery and they still denied, my insurance coordinator called to our pre auth dept and got on the phone w a supervisor. Needless to say I was approved 3 days before my actual surgery. As long as your doctors office calls, whether it's to do a peer to peer or to get on the phone w their supervisor they should approve. Cignas coverage policy states that as long as the patient has a BMI over 40 , you don't need a co morbidity. I hope it works out for you

Yep...
I had to look...
The TMI warning was too much to resist..
And I got exactly what I deserved...

My highest was 517 but at surgery 467. I'm a year out on the 15th of this month and currently at 320. 147 lbs so far with VSG.

Not an issue I had but it's possibly the result of the release of hormones that have been stored up in your fat cells...
Hopefully (for you and your partner) things will balance out once your body settles down and gets into a rhythm..

There are no sensitive subjects here among us......just the occasional overly sensitive, easily butthurt member.
Just a dude's perspective, here.....due to prolonged back pain issues and other poor health stuff....the months leading up to my sleeve surgery were a drought of activity of any kind. Very unusual state for me. It was something that I never saw coming and when it hit......so did the near immediate motivation to get out from underneath controllable health issues once and for all....the decision to have wls was made.
Abdominal hernia patch job done at time of sleeve. The desire to get busy and get my groove on was there a couple weeks after surgery....but the hernia wound kept me in check. About the time I hit the 6-8 week mark it was game-on....ready to rock 'n roll when the opportunity presented itself.
For reasons other than surgery the opportunity has been a rare occasion, but I stand ready, willing and able.
At 4.5 months.....I can say that it is on my mind about as much as it was when I was a teenager.

I've always had a high drive and am one week post op, feeling great and wishing I was two weeks post op already! This is not something I'd read when I researched prior to surgery so thank you for posting it! It helps to know what could happen, down the road!
