Love this thread! I can't add anything....YET. I get sleeved on Sept 14th and I am beyond excited. But here are the can't waits for me:
1. I can't wait to stop shopping in the Plus Size Dept.
2. I can't wait to wear more form fitting clothes. I hate the loose fit that is supposed to hide my fat!
3. I can't wait to shop for a bathing suit....and like it!
4. I can't wait to wear dresses and show off a little leg!
5. I can't wait to wear tank tops in the summer!!!
6. I can't wait to wear boots...the ones that don't have the extended calf.
7. I can't wait to be able to run up and down the steps at work instead of taking the elevator.
8. I can't wait to get a new hair style...another phase of my complete makeover!
9. I can't wait to get off my blood pressure medications.
10. I can't wait to stop snoring....my husband will be forever grateful too!
And finally....
11. I can't wait to shop for sexy undies and show them off to my husband!
These are just a few of my favorite can't waits.... It's almost here!!!

My husband is the only person who knows. My children don't know, my parents don't know, my siblings don't know and the people I work with don't know. I was only off work a week, so I used vacation time. People comment all the time telling me how good I look and my response is...Thank you, I struggle with what I put in my mouth every day. Which is the truth. If I didn't have the puncture marks on my mid section, I could wear a bikini for the first time in my life. But, because I am afraid that the puncture marks will lead to more questions, I am going to stick with a one-piece.

Don't do it! Forget the food funerals...Eating anything you want now will only increase the fat in your liver and that will show up in your pre-op blood work. My surgeon told me that if she could not lift my liver out of the way for surgery, she would cancel surgery. It isn't worth the chance....

Cindy, the best way to improve your singing voice is practice! Sing as much as you can, and you WILL get better!

Heavier people tend to have deeper pitched voices than lighter people. So... lose weight, and your voice might sound a bit higher pitched I think it is to do with the amount of flesh in and around the throat.

cindym44 got a reaction from chrissy2986 in 6 months documentation- ? January 25, 2017

I was able to document a consecutive 6 months of Weight Watchers and it was accepted. I did not have to have to attend supervised weight loss classes. My doctor's office submitted to my insurance company and I was approved in 1 day. From consultation with my surgeon to surgery date took me about 10 weeks.

Does your doctor have someone in their office who deals with the insurance companies? Let them do the work for you, just call and ask them to make sure you're still covered.
