WOW!!! Totally amazing and very encouraging!!! Congrats, awesome job!!!

You can explain.. but if he doesn't want to get it, he won't!!! When he sees the dramatic improvement in your life, health and over all well-being... coupled w/ the hard work in effectively utilizing that sleeve as the tool that it is... He will get it.. Until then, I know it my suck not having his support right now, but do this for yourself... knowing that you have a place here where people get it, understand and are going through it as well!!! Just my opinion... Best wishes!!

I actually did pretty good.. until a few minutes from now when I have a piece of key-lime pie and some coffee!!! LOL.. The food was good, but not the highlight of the day... My family raved about how much weight I've lost (not really) and how since I'm losing so much weight (again, not really)... perhaps I should reconsider surgery..aaahhhh.. now the truth comes out!! LOL... I really didn't have that "this is my last time eating like this moment".. I guess, I'm so ready to get sleeved and get healthy for once in my life.. but now that I think about it... it's sooooo worth it!!! LOL Visiting home is great!!! It was a beautiful day... now, I want to sleep in my own bed!! Too bad it's over 700 miles away!!

Awesome news!!!!

Awesome!!! You look so gorgeous!! I can't believe you're over 30!!!... I hope you had a wonderful day!!!!

Awesome job!!! Congratulations!!!

Get sleeved!!! I believe it will be fine!!!! (I'm only a little jealous...LOL) I hope I'm right behind you on Dec. 22nd!

Welcome Dom!!! I am not sleeved yet (5 weeks, I hope!!)... Both my parents are diabetic and hypertensive.. My mom is on dialysis... I didn't want to live my life bound to medication and a machine either!! I think we've made an excellent decision!!! Best wishes!

LOL!!! Love it!!!!

Congrats!!! Keep up the good work!!!

Congrats!!! Keep up the good work!

Congrats!!!

WOW!!!! Awesome Diva... AWESOME!!!!

Divis, thanks!!! The patient coordinator at my surgeon's ofc is EXCELLENT!! And I've heard he's relentless w/ ins companies.. So, I hope things go quickly and smoothly.. I wll def take u up on the offer to msg you!!! Thanks!!

I think if you find a surgeon that you trust, go for it.. I'm unsure as to how the approval process works, I guess they approve the surgery and not just the surgeon??!!??..

Congrats!! You're doing a great job!!!

Awesome job Diva!!!! Get some rest!!!

Congrats!!!... I can hardly wait to join you!!

Congrats!! I have my final appointment on Dec. 1st and hopefully, I will be sleeved around Christmas time... I'm so excited for you!!! I can't believe it's been almost 6 months!!! OMG!!!!

I have BCBS-IL and I'm entering the last month of my med sup weight loss program... I hope I don't get denied (UGH!!).. Can you immediately appeal/submit missing documents or do you have to wait??

Congrats!!! Awesome job!!!! I'm can hardly wait to take a seat on the loser's bench!!!! Keep up the good work!!

One of the things that make people hesitate in sharing is the lack of knowledge and understanding about the disease of obesity and food addiction... For every 1 supportive person in our lives, there may be 1 sometimes 2 who feel that obese people are lazy and lack will power.. I don't know 1 person who would welcome ridicule and disdain from people that they love.. Sometimes it comes from a place of fear, but most times, it's plain ignorance!! I've shared my decision w/ several people... One of my friends and one of my sisters are totally against it and I explained to them that I wasn't seeking agreement, approval or anything..I just wanted them to know what I was doing...

WOW... I'm so sorry this is happening to you.. And you are definitely right in your advice.. Our bodies will let us know when we need to slow down and pay attention.. Please take care of yourself and keep up updated.. I'm definitely praying for you!!
