Navigating the Wilderness

I go in and call it duo-dizl. Just for fun.

I'm neither a female, nor an amputee, but I did want to wish you the absolute best in your journey to be the you that you deserve!!

Job well done! Congrats on the fantastic results!!

I think until some respectable studies start coming out I would avoid them unless my surgeon explicitly told me use them. There seems to be too little evidence on their efficacy at this time.

You should call UHC and ask them. I found snippet about co-morbidities in general:

Less frequent comorbidities that are occasionally accepted by insurance include:
Congestive Heart Failure Fatty Liver Syndrome Gall Bladder Disease Depression Stroke or Stroke Risk Inability to Carry Out Daily Activities Psychosocial Stress Resulting From Obesity GERD (Acid Reflux Disease)

I don't give a damn if you are in the right place or not. This is AWESOME. Congrats buddy!!

1 month after surgery:
Boss: I don't understand why we can't just make things work on this project.
Me: I don't understand why you can't get what I'm saying through your fuckin' head.
Boss: I don't need to put up with this from you, and he walked away.
Me, Loud enough for all to hear: Bye Felicia!
Spent 2 months in the doghouse for that one.

Answer: Of course not, I was very careful with your wife.

Yeah, I knew a patient who was rapidly regaining weight. When asked what said patient was eating, it was revealed to be mostly Angel food cake. Why? Because they said it contained mostly egg whites which were Protein, and thus on their bariatric diet sheet.

That is the exact reason why I chose to go forward with WLS as well. Never had a problem losing weight, always had a problem keeping it off.
As for your mother scaring you, she is most likely doing that because she herself is scared about it. Education is the best way to turn a naysayer into a cheerleader. I would suggest taking her with you to the doctor on your next visit, or sharing posts on this site with her. Either way, my guess is she will come around to supporting you.

Hahahahaha understatement for me. For the first couple months:
Question: "How are you today buddy?"
Answer: "I'll kill your whole damn family if you don't leave me the f**k alone!"

No I was saying what Redmaxx should have responded to the bastard that asked him that question.

I hear you! Venting is encouraged, and sometime mandatory on here.

Seems like they should list these side effects in addition to all the standard doom and gloom ones. It would help many more people take the plunge.
