I just tossed some bell peppers, zucchini, and yellow squash in Italian dressing. Put them into my grill basket and grilled them on the grill. They were so yummy I did it again the next day and have yummy grilled veggies and grilled BBQ chicken breast for lunch today and tomorrow at work.

I'm guessing your concern is regarding your insurance not covering WLS related medical claims postop? I knew going in they wouldn't cover WLS med claims postop. I decided the benefits outweighed the "what if" risks for me. I had comorbidities and topped out over 400 lbs. Only you know what the best decision is for you short term and long term. -

I had issues with my heart acting up again in Denver. It was covered by my medical insurance I have with my employer. It was not treated as WLS related as it is a well documented issue that predated my WLS. Although with the weight loss my heart is behaving just fine. -

Thank you for the kind words. I am happy to say I didn't have to twist into odd angles to take a flattering selfie. And I'm 13 lbs away from 299 lbs! I think I will be celebrating at Cedar Point this fall! I'm hoping I will confidently fit all the rides by then!!!! :-D -

I didn't take out any extra insurance. I considered my options. The alternatives. Weighed the overall pros vs the potential cons. Rolled the dice. And I'd do it again in a heartbeat. -

We had an eating curfew and were told it would be well past the stomach and into the intestines. I did have a bm at the hospital. No pain. -

I was an 11 extra wide. Now I'm a 10.5 wide. I'm hoping I will ditch the wide width shoes altogether.

How did your surgery go? I hope it was uneventful and as comfortable as can be expected. -
