Wow!!!! So at 189lbs should I start consultations with plastic surgeons?

I think when you are at a comfortable weight and are happy where you are at, doing a consult won't hurt.. Just don't rush into anything! :-)

My insurance won't even look at pannier removal until weight is lost and stable for two years. Then they may pay for it if medically neccessary.

That makes sense.

I would!!! Usually you can get a free consult. As I was told many ins companies will pay for a Tummy Tuck and usually the surgeon can get it approved for you!

Oh that would be great to get a surgeon to help get it approved for insurance!! Only thing is that I need a Tummy Tuck, legs, arms, and breast done. That is going to be lots of money!!! :-(

Ditto here. Deaddemmama' date=' what do you use? I've developed a pretty irritating rash in the last couple of days...

If this keeps up bcbs should okay me, but I'm not looking forward to suffering from these things for the next year or so. I'd rather just not have them and live with the skin. After all, as my daughter keeps telling me, "you don't have to look good, mom, you are married and... old". Lol[/quote']

Lmbo married & old how dare her.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
