The more stressed out and panicked that you get, the more you are going to worry about symptoms. go to the ER, and they will do everything they can to make sure you don't have a clot. If it's nothing to worry about they will send you home.

You should go get checked out, at least for peace of mind. Blood clots are no joke

Beef chicken or steak? I'll pimp it out for you

Since I work at Taco Bell, I feel the need to defend it. We don't put a tablespoon of meat, it's 1.5 ounces! Everything with meat gets 1 scoop, 1.5 oz with a few exceptions like the grilled stuffed burrito and taco salads. That being said, I agree that it looks like hardly anything! I should show my boss this and try to get a raise....

Lol i do this all the time, and I never noticed the shirt nipples!

On the 6th i believe

I started the process to get my surgery in January 2012. After doing 6 month of supervise diet and exercise, my insurance dropped their weight loss surgery benefit and I had to stop. Paying out of pocket is not an option for me, because I have terrible credit from past Er visits and things of that nature. A month after that I got a new job, with great health insurance. The doctor that I was seeing before was not considered an in network provider, so I had to choose a new doctor about 80 miles away. By the time I got my insurance cards and made the appointment, most of the nutrition and other things I had done expired. The only thing that carried over was my psyche eval. With my new insurance, Aetna, they said I only needed 3 months of nutrition and an Egd. My weights and Co morbities covered the rest of it. My caseworker for my surgeon told me that I could use a nutritionist in my city, as long as she was qualified and worked with other bariatric patients. For October, November, and December I saw the nutritionist that worked with my first surgeon. my caseworker looked over her credentials, and said that she was fine and would be no problem to work with. They finally submitted everything to insurance on January 11th, and I was told to patiently wait until the 18th to call to see if I was approved. When I called they said I was denied because I did not complete the 3 month Nutrition appointments. When I talk to my case manager (who took almost 10 days to get back to me) she said that I was denied because my nutritionist didn't work with the surgeon that I was using. Now they're saying that I need 3 more months of nutrition appointments with their dietitian. I am so incredibly mad and frustrated because it seems like every time I get close to having surgery, it gets taken away because of something. If I wasn't 300 pounds and unable to lose the weight, I would just give up. Things like this just don't make it seem worth it.

I was telling myself that, but I'm just tired of a few months turning into a few more and then only 6 more! I can't help but think that I would be 7 months out by now if my luck wasn't terrible

You look amazing! I'm starting out at 50 pounds lighter than what you are, but I carry a lot of my weight in my stomach like you did. Is your stomach skin terrible? I know saggy skin is inevitable, but I can dream that maybe it won't be as bad as I think!

You shouldn't have to worry about blending them until after your surgery. Good luck!

This is insane! [ATTACH]8432[/ATTACH]

My bad!

I'm ending all of this arguing with this: [ATTACH]8418[/ATTACH]

You are awesome

I wouldn't turn down either of the them! I love the dark skin/blue eye mix. I bet he's a ****** in real life though

You win!

I'm still pissed off about Mark! I need something pretty to look at dammit!

He was a rotten person who was super rude to everyone. Nothing he posted was helpful or constructive. A slew of people reported him and he got kicked out

That is ridiculous. Iggy tells her story openly, she has no reason to hide behind a fake profile. Why hasn't this thread been blocked yet?

I'm worried about the arms more than anything! I love tank tops, and I don't want scary elephant arms! Our starting weight is the same, let's hope age will be on our sides!

What is your starting weight? I am 26 also, I've been overweight since puberty though. My doctor has set my goal, and I have 140 to loose. I know I'll have stomach skin, because I carry my weight there but I'm hoping that will be it for me

You're welcome. And thanks for the support! I hear a lot of 'you'll look like a lesbian' comments, it's nice to hear some encouragement!
