Maybe you should explain a little more why we should click on a link and how it helps you in the Quest. As a network security professional, I for one do not click on links that I do not know where they end up. Too many bad things are out there.

This may be legit but you're asking a lot from a group who has no knowledge of who you are or what your intentions are? I'm with Gary. I get requests like this all the time and I just delete them.

Amanda- you may want to read the fine print of the contest rules, as well as what is and isn't covered. For example: an overnight hospital stay isn't covered. I know some people who've had lap abnd as a same day procedure and others who have stayed overnight. Given all of your other medical issues going on the likelyhood of having to stay over night increases. Also- complications aren't covered by the contest. Will your insurance cover complications?

Why won't your insurance cover the procedure? I watched your video and your husband was in uniform. I personally know 3 military wives who have had bariatric surgery of one sort or another. And another one who had a breast reduction that was medically needed- and her husband's insurance covered it.

When I had surgery a few years ago it was private insurance and I didn't meet their requirements as it was you had to be over a BMI of 35 for 5 years and I had only been over that for 4 years. I wasn't willing to wait yet another year and have my BMI creep up even further.

Your video also doesn't say how much you weigh, how tall you are, your BMI, etc

So, this seems a little shady. Upon some further research on your FB page you're linked to yourself: https://www.facebook.com/amanda.wiggins.5832/about And it looks like your avatar here. While the FB video you made doesn't.

If you're really just looking for a free surgery and people to vote for you who don't even know you, well good luck with that.

People here have had surgery, or are having it, worked hard to get here and have needed it.

Getting off my soapbox now.

Wow, again such negativity. Why? Why would someone say something hateful instead of just moving on?

Leena' date=' I will ask you here then...why are you being so negative and just plain mean? If you don't want to help me that is fine, move around, don't say anything.[/quote']

Thanks for the words of encouragement from some. I will delete my posts once I get home, can't figure it out now.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
