Lol Wild that was so funny! I hope things get better for you!

One of the things on my top ten reasons to get WLS is to be able to fit in cute shoes!

My dad has white hair and I think it is beautiful. Now I know I am in the minority but I think white hair is soooo pretty and can not wait for mine to come in. I call them sparkle-ies. I highlight my hair and try to get as close to my gray as I can get so there is not silver and gold going on up there. Texas -I am glad your hair is coming in and sorry it is not your first choice of color.

Hello Keshia, Mary and LK, My current insurance does not cover any WLS so I switch to one that does in January. I have already started the hoops. For my new insurance I have to do 6 months supervised weight loss, 6 months of support group (I am not sure if VST counts so I started the live type), nut meeting and psych eval. All that being said, I don't have a clue when I will be able to get the sleeve. So am right there with you all. Hugs!!!

I am so sorry to hear of your complications. Speedy recovery!!

Best wishes!!! You will do GREAT!!!

72 Pounds lost is awesome!!!!! Way to go girl!!!

Prayers and good vibes going your way. You will do great!!!

Yowza! I sure hope this doesn't happen to me. I am hot all the time now as it is. My family wears sweat shirts during the summer in my house because I keep it so cold. I sure hope this stage ends for you very soon.

My dream size is 10 - 12. In other words normal. I lost down to this size back in 1994 and the old saying came true for me loose weight get pregnant. Well I have not reached that size since. I have set my goal to be the weight I was for this size.

Your id always reminds me of an old TV show with Ryan Reynolds. "Two guys and a girl" ... it changed the name to "Two guys a girl and a pizza place". Seeing it makes me smile.

Prayers sent ... I sure hope you feel better soon!

Best wishes!!! I am very excited for you!

I have to go to 6 months of support groups for insurance reasons and out of about 25 people there was one RNY and 1 pending band and my pending sleeve. There was one guy that had been sleeved but he was unable to stay ... He lost almost 100 lbs in 4 months. WOW! Most did not even know there was an alternative to the band. Now I live in a very small town, but they had not even heard of my surgeon and their surgeon did not mention the other choices like mine did. After being presented with my choices I researched and decided on the sleeve. I am still in the insurance requirement stage and do not know when my surgery will be. I love the info and members of this site. Thanks to you all!

Steph, I have UHC too and am on month 4 of the 6 month Physician supervised weight loss. My UHC has just recently added (for my insurance plan) a 6 month support group component, which I am now in month 2. I am not close enough yet to estimate a surgery date, but I imaging it will be near yours.

In the science labs I took in college (many years ago) I found out that Calorie is a unit to measure heat. I often wondered if you ate fewer calories if you would feel colder.
