Besides clothes shopping, my biggest thing is going somewhere (restaurant, theater, amusement park ride) and not worrying if I'll fit or if whatever I'm sitting on/in will hold me.

It does I'm taking my body to the limits and trying new workout challenges i just hope I'm not over doing it my 2wk post op appointment is Monday

Has anyone been approved or denied by Aetna POS in the 90 day plan and what did you do for the exercise requirement?
I am pre-surgical and interested in doing the 90 day vs 180 with Aetna. My dr office (Magee) seems to favor the 180 and neither they nor Aetna can give me a good explanation of the exercise requirement "Exercise regimen (unless contraindicated) to improve pulmonary reserve prior to surgery, supervised by exercise therapist or other qualified professional;" which seems to be the only difference b/w the 90 and 180 day prep plans.
Thanks!

advice, suggestions, "real life" experiences etc
you've lost 70 lbs!!!
that's great
possibly much of that weight was attributed to being sick
but it's still gone
hope you slowly but surely feel better sooner than later

I went a year of throwing up daily, not getting my Protein in, severe nauseousness literally 24/7. I basically lived in my bed the first year. At one point i didnt eat for 5 weeks, in and out of the er for fluids, etc. I wont bore you with all the details. I wanted a second opinion but my surgeon was too busy to call or email the surgeon at Washington University Barnes Hospital. The only thing he would do was refer me o his partner, imagine that!!! I am sicker than sick and it ook his office six weeks to get my records to his partnes office. My surgeons office was in the hospital the other dr was located in the Drs office building across he complex. After numerous phones calls I actually had to talk with the office manager. It just added insult to injury. Or whatever the that saying is. LOL well two months after the referral I get to see the new sugeon. He schedules me for an endoscopy and a very nasty nuclear medicine procedure. I had to eat or raher gag down cold radioactive eggs in ten minutes or I would have to start over. Laying in the machine for an hour plus was a snap. He diagnosed me with Bile Reflux immediately after the upper endoscopy. After starting medicine and physical theapy to relearn how to walk it took another three months to feel human. The oral anti nausea medicine did not work for me. The only thing that would give me any relief was the IV meds. That first year was just crazy. But after the rocky start i am very happy to report my third anniversary is coming up in march, total loss one hundred seventy two pounds!!! My health is pretty stable at this point. I walk four miles in an hour. Went from a size twenty six twenty eight down to a ten twelve pant and six eight top. I am so mad at my ipad tonight. The number keyboard won't pull up so i had to type the numbers out. LOL
I really hope your drs determine what is wrong with.

I totally get it!!! But, what i realized is that without this tool I see where I would've only continued in my foolishness with food. It's know different than a no good man (or woman) that you won't leave, a dead end job that you stay at. ITS TIME TO shake THINGS UP!!!! GET OUT OF "THE FAT THOUGHT" FRAME OF MIND. We've been their far to long. When i cook for others or go get dinner for others, I do wish that I could. BUT IM GLAD THAT I CANT. IM sooo weak in my own strength and I know I would've have fallen over and over again and remained in my rut. My new normal is no way easy, but I'm sooo glad about it!!! Thank you Jesus. Just like any other lost that you have no control over, it get better with time. There's sooo many different variations to the food that you use to eat, just a healthier version of it. I JUST LOVE THAT!!! It will be ok....BELIEVE THAT IT WILL...KICK DEPRESSION TO THE SAME CURVE YOU KICKED OTHER PROBLEMATIC THINGS IN OUR LIVES. You've taken charge of you life. NOW WALK LIKE A BOSS AND GO GET YOUR BLESSINGS!!! HAPPY EASTER #RESURRECTEDFEB20thSLEEVER2017

Fabulous!!! Thanks so much for doing this, I know it was very time consuming. You totally rock!
