  1. It's hard to tell. It seems that even though people may both have Cigna, they may have two totally different plans... I would check to see if your plan excludes WLS all together, because if so, they probably won't But, I'm no expert. Just call them and ask questions. They were helpful when I called!
  2. Congrats on hubby's return! <3 Enjoy your time. As for the alcohol, I was told NO until I reached goal. So just be careful!
  3. Good luck on your journey. I am in Baltimore, but I had my surgery at Franklin Square. Typically I hate them, but I really liked the surgeon there. My experience was GREAT, and I'm forever thankful! I know two people who had their surgery at GBMC and they both LOVE it. One had RNY and the other VSG! If you need to talk, MSG me!
  4. I'm sorry this has all been so crazy for you. But, I wish you the best of luck! Hopefully, whatever is meant to happen WILL! And, you'll be sleeved in no time!
  5. Thanks for posting your success story! I absolutely love reading things like that! I just added you on FB. If you ever need to talk, I'm here! I'd love to just listen to anything you have to say. I'm sorry about your friendships. But, I'm glad you took charge of your health and continue to do so!
  6. I was super thirsty the first three days-week post op
  7. I get that sometimes. I think it's the acid.
  8. Hi! I'm Jes. I'm twenty Three . I was just sleeved on December 20th, 2010. I lost 26 pounds pre op, and 24 post. I have been married for four years I've been overweight my entire life. My mom had the lapband last February, and it made me start thinking it was time for ME to do something. I had a rough two days after surgery. But, then everything got better with each day. How are you?

  10. Aw, that was super sweet. Thank you I have a blog if you wanna follow! www.mamamonner.blogspot.com
  11. Anytime I love(d) reading everything too! Such inspiration!
  12. Good luck! I hope everything goes smoothly and you have your surgery!
  13. This is a decision you have to make for yourself. When I first started I was 317. I wanted so badly to be healthy. I wanted to weigh less. I tried it on my own, I'd lose a little but then gain it back. It was just too hard to maintain. I decided to have WLS and it changed my life. I'm less than a month out, but the changes I have already seen in myself are incredible. I lost 26 pounds pre op. Some people asked me if I could lose THAT much on my own before surgery.... why did I need the actual surgery itself... Truth is, I knew I had 160 pounds to lose. THAT I could NOT do on my own. It's all about being realistic. I hope you can figure things out soon. If you need someone to talk to I'm always a PM away
  14. You look so cute! You're my inspiration!
  15. I bought this one http://www.amazon.com/EatSmart-Precision-Digital-Bathroom-Technology/dp/B001KXZ808/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1295147613&sr=8-1 And, I like it. It's WAY more accurate than the one I bought at Target last year. And, it came with a measuring tape.
  16. I don't think it's bad. Just be careful with fruits because they have lots of carbs. (If you're paying attention to them) And, because oranges are so acidic... they scare me! lol
  17. Nope! The only issue I have is the acid making me thinking I'm hungry. And my stomach growls.
  18. Thank you so much
