How are you feeling

@ I'm good. Today is the end of day 14. I am down about 20 pounds. Can do just about whatever I want physically, my incisions are all closed, but are still angry red. The first few sketchy days are behind me. I have not thrown up. My tummy is itchy and I look forward to the next two weeks to see what happens.

I bet I feel the same way I feel so anxious and happy you now ???? I am 266 with a 48 BMI hoping to get a date soon ❤️

My initial consultation was June 16, 2015 and surgery date was September 14. I took my time with the pre-op testing (ekg, bloodwork, psych, nutritionist) to make sure I was ready for a complete life change It cost $13900 for surgery day, that's not including all the pre op testing. Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Hell yes!!!!

Starting weight: 296

Surgery day: 288

Current weight: 246

Yes, I went to a seminar on the 18th of dec 15 and had my surgery same month on the 28th.

My first visit was Nov. 23 and surgery was Dec 8. I was not required to have psych, or heart testing, just some blood tests and a credit card. My weight at surgery was 250, and the total cost on surgery day was 14000$ I don't know if the trip to the ER later will be covered, that bill I have seen at about $5500.

I didn't qualify for insurance, I had lost a bunch a few years back, and blah blah...

It's only money.

I called my credit card people and spread it across 3 cards: 0% for 1y, 1.9% for 6 mos. And 6.9% eternally. I figure I will pay this off sometime in 2016, between tax return and Hubby's new job. I am extremely conservative with money, so this was w wild leap for me, but it is going to be so worth it.
