I know!!! The thought of going to Mexico scares me too.. so I'm praying for Medicaid to approve me with no issues!!!! ***Fingers Crossed***

Wishing you all the best!!!! Hope everything went well!!! You're in my prayers!!!!

You look absolutely amazing!!! Congrats on your accomplishment!!! I'm so inspired!!! Thanks for sharing

Before getting pregnant with my 1st daughter in 2003 I was at 155, curvy, and loving it!! I then gave birth in 2004, followed by the births of my 2nd daughter in 2005, and my 3rd daughter in 2006.. Soon after I went into a major depression while being a stay at home mom due to my failing marriage & abusive ex-husband.. & food was my escape.. I got all the way up to 256.. I'm happy to say that in late 2009 I left the abuser, & began on my journey to finding myself again!! 2012 has been a great year for me thus far: I finalized my divorce finally, and recently graduated from college in August!! Having this surgery approved will mean the world to me, & will absolutely complete my amazing year!! I am currently Pre-op, and scheduled for the sleeve on 12/19!!!! I am very excited to start my 100 pound goal weight loss journey!!!! I have to start my 2 week protein diet in 1 week, and any suggestions on which ones are good & affordable would be great!!!! as well as any pre-op & post-op information that may be helpful!!!!! My 3 amazing daughters are & always will be my inspiration to continue making something of my life!!!!! Thanks for listening!!!! I am so grateful for these forums & being able to relate to people who are going through & have gone through my journey!!!! Your stories inspire me daily!!!! God bless you all!!!!

Thanks for the names!!!! & that's sounds very affordable!!!!

You look amazing!!!! Congrats on your accomplishment!!!! God bless your new journey!!!!

Good luck with your surgery Carly, & please keep us posted!!!! I'm scheduled for December 19th!!!!

My surgery date for the sleeve pending insurance approval is December 19th!!! I'm 5'5, & at 242.. I too am looking for the support of people who are going through, or have gone through the same experience.. My parents are 100% supportive, but they've never had to deal with the struggles of being obese.. They said insurance approval takes 3-5 days and they are submitting the request next week!!! Hoping the 19th is still the plan, & I'm starting my liquid diet & protein shakes on December 5th!!! Gotta think positive & shrink that liver!!! With God all things are possible, and I'm praying for everything to go well with this life changing journey!!!! Any ideas for diets to follow, pre & post surgery info would be great too!! I am very inspired by ALL of your stories!! Please feel free to reach out ANY TIME!!!!! We can all do this together & succeed!!! I have 3 beautiful Angels that I need to live for.. SO FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION
