  1. Congratulations, and God Bless !
  2. Thanks, I've been looking at compression shirts on Amazon, looks like they would be a big help.
  3. Congratulations on your weight loss. About the only thing I wear is blue jeans and a dress shirt, does this type of clothing conceal the loose skin very well, or will I have to give up the jeans?
  4. Hi everyone! I am a 59 year old male, 5'9" and weigh 350 pounds, and carry most of my weight in my midsection. I'm going to have the sleeve surgery sometime in September. The doctor said that I will probably get down to 220 pounds. If any of you guys come close to my age, height, build and weight, could you please tell if you have very much loose skin, this is the only thing that has me really worried. Thanks very much.

  6. I can't comment on your situation because I don't know anything about it to be able to tell you anything. But I'll tell you what I can do, and will do, I will pray for you that the Lord will take care of your situation.
  7. Hi everyone. I'm new to this forum, I have been considering weight loss surgery for about two years. I have decided to bite the bullet and go for it, I am a male and my current weight is 360 pounds with a BMI of 51. I just got approval from my insurance and was so grateful to find out that my total out-of-pocket for the surgery will be $295.00 My insurance is requiring me to go through a three month long program before having the surgery, I don't know what that is all about yet, my first appointment at the weight loss center is on May 16th this coming Wednesday. Did anyone else have to go through a program before having their surgery? Thanks!
