any luck switching insurance to gain coverage?
Takingcontrol replied to litalo's topic in Insurance & Financing
I had the same exclusion...so I had my hubby add me to his plan & got it covered! -
Hang in there...it gets better!

Wow! You did have a rough beginning..but glad it's better!

Very very long-term side effects?
Takingcontrol replied to ecip78824's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I understand what your saying, & ur right...there isn't a great deal of research yet. However, there is in gastric bypass & that's why we have the sleeve...cause they are trying to improve & reduce the risks. And...we KNOW our lives will be shortened & we will have complications if we do not change things & get to a healthy weight. At least that was my reasoning & I'm very glad I had the procedure. -
Hmmm... I will have to check Kroger! Have you tried the Atkins frozen dinners? Walmart carries them, other store too...but their low carb too & delicious!

Went to the waterpark with my daughter & Grandkids & had a Blast!! It felt great to actually feel confident in a swimsuit in public, not worry that I was the largest person there & everyone was staring at me....& best of all...to be able to do the water slides without worrying about the weight limit!! I LOVE my sleeve!! :-D

Parmesan Zucchini- holy cow yum!
Takingcontrol replied to Phoenix79's topic in Vegetarian, vegan, raw foods
Yum! Going to try this! Thanks! -
I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting!
