Wow! You look great!

You are an amazing woman and I'm so happy to be your sleeve buddy! God works in mysterious and wonderful ways!!! Your family is going to be mezmorized by you! You can absouletly make your goal and you look awesome now. Just wait until you hit that 180 mark and jaws will be hitting the floor! You are doing it all right! The working out, the eating right, taking care of you! You got this girl!

thats f***ing funny

What about checking with the HR department about the Family Medical Leave Act? That's what I did. I think, and I could be wrong, that it helps to keep your job secure while you are out.

I would keep your job let some time go by till you are offered more vacation, do a damn good job and then do the surgery. The Dr will understand you need to postpone for a few months. IMO!

I feel for you. I too am pre-op. I have to have a sleep study in 2 weeks, then maybe 2 mos on an apnea machine before they will give me a surgery date. I am discouraged. My husband is also not the supportive type. But we will overcome!

That has happened to me as well - nearly approved - layouff... nearly approved - new insurance... nearly approved - oh you need six months weightloss supervision.... So don't give up - I started my desire for WLS back in 2005 and I'm really glad it took so long because I am so comfortable with the idea of the VSG... I did lose 20 pounds during the six month Nutritionist visits and now I'm down another 20 pounds - 5 weeks post-op. The six months really prepared me for the post-op period! Don't give up!

You look nice! Keep it up girl....

I don't know what State you reside in. I have BCBS in NC state plan. It is covered. The sleeve just got covered. It was not always covered by BCBS. Howver, each state is different. I agree with the other post. Hopefully, you can be sleeved this year so you want have to worry whether they cover it or not. Praying that everything work out in your favor. God Bless you and keep us posted!!!

The ironic part is, the anchor woman is a fantastic role model while the self-righteous, fit lawyer is setting an awful example of intolerance born of ignorance. Thanks for the posts. Enjoyed your blog on it. You would make a good spokesperson for the challenges of the obese and how other people can offer support.
