    August 2016 Sleevers Where You At?!

    Hey! I have my final appt with my surgeon on 7/20. I believe they will submit to insurance and that should put me to about the 1st or 2nd week in August, I believe. I am so excited. After not knowing if my insurance would still be active in August and finding out yesterday it will be, I am just so emotional. I seriously can't stop crying happy tears. I can't wait to see my new life unfold!

    How long did you take off work? Non desk job

    I do deal BJ. I also deal roulette and midi baccarat which is a sit down game. If I ask for BJ and novelties for a while it might be better.

    I am a dealer too! I'm still preop but I'm hoping all they say is 2 weeks, if not less.

    100lbs before and after

    I'm looking at July, also. I have 6 months of appointment to fulfill for insurance and then we're off! I'm so anxious.

    1st appt last week! Too food to be true!

    It is my Medicare that's being cut off. Right now Medicare is my secondary. They cut back on their limits for the caregiver holding the policy. I my kids will be covered but I won't. They are giving me until July 31st. The limits went from $3900 a month to $3100 for a family of 4. And my primary doesn't cover it.

    Connecticut Sleevers?

    Just curious is there is anyone else using Husky insurance in CT?
  7. Hey all, I'm Alison from Connecticut. I will be 35 next week. I have three children. I am 5'8" and weigh 262. My highest weight is 271 in March of 2014. I have always been a bigger girl but I would say I became morbidly obese at 17. Before then I got the fat jokes still but that was children stuff. As an adult I would have looked pretty damn good to be 5'8" 200 lbs. I was 218 when I went to my very first prenatal appt in 2000. After my 2nd child in 2004 I went on a diet. I was weighing around 265 and wearing a size 22. I did Atkins for 3 months and lost 50 lbs. It was amazing. I felt great. I kept that off for around a year and a half. I then went back up to 255. In 2006 I went back on Atkins. I lost 40 lbs and my weight was 215 again. I went back up to 245-250 and stayed there for a while. In 2009 I tried an 1100 calorie Slim Fast diet and exercised and lost maybe 25 lbs in a month. It didn't last long and my weight went back up. I then had my 3rd child in 2010 and my weight actually went down to 234. I went on a diet 7 months postpartum and lost 20 but had to stop due to milk supply. Weight back up. I most recently went on a 1200 calorie diet and was exercising pretty regularly. I'd say I was exercising 9 hours a week. I did this from May 2014 until April 2015. I was down to 221 from 271. I went on vacation. Summer came. Less sleep, more work. So I gained and now am just defeated. I don't want to do it anymore. My joints hurt. My blood pressure was 150/105 last week. I want it over. I had the appointment and I'm sure everything will be fine but there is this one thing that can prevent me from getting. My Medicare is going to be cut off on July 31, 2016. I have to do 6 consecutive months of appts before it can even be sent to Medicare for approval. So Feb, Mar, Apr, May, June, July. July is the sixth month. They need other things from me but the other things shouldn't be a problem. But this cut off thing?! I'm so nervous that I won't be able to handle the outcome emotionally if it goes over the cutoff date and I've done all this for nothing and my dream is over. I'll be devastated. I doubt there is anyone in my situation but if there is wtf?!

    I can't believe this is me! (Boudoir pics)

    I'm crying looking at these. I had my first appointment on 2/15 and I am awaiting fate to see if I can do it. They say yes but it just seems too good to be true. I daydreamed about getting boudoir photos done after this and to see you doing these hit me that this could actually be a reality for me, also.
