Wow, just finish read your story. I hope you are doing better. I hope they are able to figure out soon what the best course of action is. You look fantastic!

I am so glad you are able to have a sense of humor with all you are going through. I have to admit, I was like who is writing this nonsense!!! LOL you got me.

I submitted the paperwork to my insurance 1st thing this morning and I just got an email stating I was approved! I want to shout from the rooftops!!!! This process has been emotional!! The South American experience a bit different and no one to see me thru. I was wrong, I had someone on my side all the time.

Thank you!

Hang in there! I totally understand the cultural and social aspects. It is the center of my world. It is sad but true. It will get better. From what I have read on here so many people go through the same thing. You are doing great and should be very proud.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I am so happy that they found your clots early and u are being treated. I am sure it is a scary experience. I wish u a speedy recovery.

congratulations! that is one of my all time goals

No, I just finished my paperwork and I will email it to insurance tomorrow. My process is a bit different because I live in South America.

When I was 28, I always said I would not be fat at 30, well here I am 37 and fat. I have been obese since 6 yoa. It is easy for people to tell u what they think u should do. I agree with a previous poster this is a very personal and very difficult decision. Most of us don't just wake up one morning and say, "wow, I think I will have WLS." For me it took a lot of research, sole searching and prayer. Sometimes u have to dig deep and it can hurt. I wish u luck in ur decision making process.

You look great, congratulations on your two years!

Those don't look bad at all. Do you put something on them?

Thanks for sharing. I think you look great and your excess skin is not bad at all. Congratulations on your success.

You look great!

Okay, so now I am on the registry just reading random bedbug stories.....why or why do i do this too myself as I sit in my bed on my laptop....Thank you for the site, great resource.

Thanks for sharing that is great information!

I know hubby will be glad once I have the surgery!!! I miss having the urges...

wow, you look super!

You ladies got me giggling tonight! I pray my urges come back. I have a nice stiff one laying next to me and most nights I am just not interested. This is coming from a gal that you to like to get it in when she could. I know it would make my hubs happier.....

Good! How are things going at home with the babies?

I found running/jogging at my current heavy weight was bad on my knees and other joints. I actually like it too, but have hung it up until I loose some weight. You don't want to injure your back and then be prevented from working out at all. Just be careful. I actually went to incline walking on the treadmill and let me tell you it is a fantastic workout. This is a workout that I do and I wrote it up for one of my friends. You start at any pace that you are comfortable with. It is a great workout. Warm-Up for 5 minutes at comfortable pace 3.5 Increase your pace if comfortable after at 5 minutes 5 min increase your incline to 5% 7 min increase to 6% 9 min: 7% 11 min: 8 % 13 min: 9% 15 min: 10% 17 min: 11% 19 min: 12% 21 min: 13% 23 min: 12% 25 min: 11% 27 min: 10% 29 min: 9% 31 min: 8% 33 min: 7% 35 min: 6% 37 min: 5% 39 min: 0% incline 39-41: 3.5 pace 41-45: cool down at 3.0 Let me know if you have questions..you can increase this work out to an hour by adding and subtracting more intervals.

Yeah, I went in once....crickets..

You look terrific! Congratulations!!!!
