I just got great news, BCBS TX will approve my TT after I've had my band for 6 months! Although I was only approved because I had a C-Section, I'm thrilled that the procedure has been approved and will take care of one of my most stubborn areas! Woo hoo!

That's awesome. You may want to wait a bit though until you've lost all you wish to lose and have maintained so you get as much loose skin off you can. By the way, I heard at my LB support meeting last night that you can donate the skin they remove. I never knew that but they use it for burn victims. I think it's a great way to give back.

Oh wow! I love that idea and will definitely make sure the surgeon does that!!!

Thanks so much!

Fortunately, I can't do it until after December 19th and according to my friends and family, I should only aim to lose another 10-15lbs. I would also like to address my arms at the same time, so I need time to save for that. I'm giving myself a goal of 12-18 months from now.

Hope insurance pays for mine, with a pacemaker, because all the weight that I have lost again is pulling on me machine and it hurts.

I have federal BCBS of georgia I wonder if it will pay for mine if I need it because I'm 24 will be 25 in January...but won't lose all I need to lose probably for another year or so. I figure since I'm so young they won't but the biggest part of my body is my stomach. What are some of the criteria y'all had to meet to get it approved?

Ok you really peaked my curiosity, how does the c-section and tt relate?

Congrats on getting the TT too!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
