Recommended Posts

Hey Ladies,

I'm not around much. Very busy with school and wrestling with BCBS. I was lurking a lil though.:crying: Anyhow you ladies are the only ones that can appreciate how happy I am. I've finally been approved!!! Everyone in my house is like "Oh that's nice" then go about their business. I can't believe it! I don't have a date yet. I hope I can be banded in October still. My Dr. is on vacation and so is the insurance coordinator. I won't get a date until they return. It's always something ain't it?!?

Congrats!!!

I'm very happy for you. :crying: I remember how happy I was and how anxious I was too. I called all the people that I told I was having surgery and they kind of responded like your house did but it's all good. Once the weight starts coming off they'll get in the groove of things. I'll pray for your health and weightloss.

THANK YOU Ladies, for your enthusiasm and support! :tt1: I'm sooooo excited. I was told today that I may be able to have surgery as soon as 10/16. I have to wait until my dr. returns from vacation for it to be confirmed. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I don't want to be disappointed if that date doesn't work out. Thanks again!

:tt2::)CONGRATS TO YOU!!:tt2:

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.

I only told my family and maybe two folks at work and I couldn't even let DH know how darned estatic I was (cause he's helping me w/self-pay:blush:). But, when I got the date... I wanted to jump thru the roof of my office! I had to go through that week of liquid diet at work with only one person knowing and I just couldn't concentrate.

Hey all I finally got my date! November 6th. I'm very excited! I don't know how I'm going to work this around school.:biggrin: I definitely don't want to wait until the first of the year. I need to get the show on the road. My birthday is in Jan, and would like to be a few pounds slimmer by then.:thumbup: Thanks again ladies for your support!

      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
