I really wasn't going anywhere anyway lmbo.

I lost about 35 lbs in my first 6 months...then I had some months of bad eating and gained it all back. Right now i'm down about 14 lbs from my original weight. I was denied by insurance the first time and I just kind of spiraled out of control...but i'm back on track now I think.

Thank you

Girl, it's already been a long ride lol...but I know the next year will be an adventure...and thank you

Well, after 13 months of waiting, I finally got my surgery date...YAY. I'm not technically a June girl but close enough and I like all y'all in here lol. July 22nd is my big day

Y'all, i'm trying my best to keep up but dang this thread is busy lol.

You've got this. Keep busy and the time will fly[emoji4]

I also have BCBS and my policy specifically stated that I receive my 6 months of weight loss visits from a physician OTHER than my surgeon.

You look awesome???

That's good. You'll be good to go before you know it ?

Just think of it as a birthday present to yourself...a brand new you

Welcome and good luck

The increased white blood cells could just be from an infection. That's the bodies' response to infection or what it perceives to be foreign. This is all to make sure that you are as healthy as you can be going into surgery. Think Happy Thoughts

I'd also be interested to know how scar tissue from a previous c-section/tubal will affect the surgery/recovery. As for how to buy the dress...i'd suggest waiting as long as possible and then making sure they have a very good seamstress.

Welcome.

Whenever you question yourself, remember every time that you've shied away from doing something because of your weight...or every failed diet attempt. You can do this

Welcome...I agree with you about the insurance red tape...it's taken me over a year to get approved and I still don't have my date(probably July...however i've been adopted into this group lol).

Welcome.

Yikes, 4 weeks?...i'm not so much worried about myself being able to do it but i'm terribly worried about my family and coworkers that will have to put up with me during the pre-op liquid diet lol.

Me too.

Uber or taxi is a great idea.

Oh how exciting...good luck

Absolutely!! Wishing you all the luck in the world!! ❤️ Thank you...and to you as well

Welcome Deanna...I also want to remain curvy but healthier. I never had trouble getting pregnant even though I was a bit overweight back then, but since I had small kids, I didn't want to take the risk of having the surgery and having complications or even death(this was back in the early 90s when this surgery was much higher risk). Now my kids are grown and I can focus on getting myself healthy.
