You have six months to do or you need your sixth month notes from the doctor?

This post is a year old so I think he got his answer.

I'm from Brooklyn. I just wanted to come and and say hello.

Any Brooklynites in here?

Luckily I have from size 14 to 24/26 My current size. I at least have an idea at what weight what clothing size will be so I can at least tell myself that once I am at 195 lbs. I can start buying new clothes, which is almost 100 away. I usually buy inexpensive clothes, especially since surgery is soon. I intend on staying in my 1x until I'm a small xl, and buy tops every two sizes or more. I feel its the pants that tend to look a little sloppy when they are too big, but if I do go to school this semester than I will be forced to look half way decent. I can get jeans for $10 on sale so I can afford to buy some jeans in sizes 12, 10, 8. Once I get near to my size goal thats when I intend on paying a bit more for some super trendy clothes.

Yes. Lol to Pdxman's fire comment.

How long did it take for approval?

I see you have the same doctor as I. What happened in regards of the insurance. I had health plus, then they joined with amerigroup about a month ago. How long did it take them to approve your surgery from the date you handed it/faxed it to Jessie?

Just curious to know how long did it take for approval from handing the paperwork in to approval.

Cool. Thanks everyone. It looks like one week is average. Just trying to get an idea of the possible dates I can get for surgery, after my last PCP visit.

It started off as medicaid alone then eventually chose a medicaid managed program (Health plus, affinity, etc) So in a nut shell its still medicaid when I answer the question "What type of insurance you have?" by any one in a hospital/clinic etc.

Perhaps find a nut that takes medicaid. I live in NYC and have medicaid, and Im covered.

Is there much difference between Medicaid and Medicare?

I think its natural to have fears of the physical changes when dealing with weightloss. While I can agree that a large majority of black men might like "thickness" in a woman, not all do. Whats most important is trying to overcome fears that both partners might have. Communication is important, honest and open communication. I feel that a partner should accept your size regardless, especially if its improving you, i.e. eliminating comorbities, or the positive physical changes. Losing weight is not something breaking up over so tell that partner to chill out and sit down somewhere.

Im all about health first. Being thick doesnt always equate to unhealthy. I also realize that not everyones thick is the same. A YT video I watched showed women who the creater thought was thick, and a woman no bigger than 150 lbs at about 5"7 was considered thick. I dont really use the term to describe a persons physique its too varying. I do get the point you are trying to make though.

Just checking here.

Yahooooooo! Is your surgery in the states? How many more months do you have for weight management.

Its a possible side effect after getting the sleeve so I was wondering if anyone has this? How many percent of people have heartburn trouble?

No date yet. I most likely will get a date in July. I think they will wait until the final,month. All of the June/July/Aug please add me as a friend so we can watch each others journey, etc.

Anyone having their surgery in July/August?

I decided to wait, mainly because I have HS, and hoping that it will go away with weight loss like it normally does.

Question for women that have had a breast reduction/lift before wls or a large amount of weight loss: Did your boobs still keep its lifted shape?

Will it always hurt or will it eventually go away?

I was thinking it might be easier to get approval for a reduction at this size, as opposed to later, but my major concern is will it still look perky when I lose weight. My boobies are 44 G/H and was thinking about reducing them to a DD cup. I dunno, because Id like to still have breasts when at goal which is at least 125 lbs away. Im sure it would make better sense to fix them later.
