Gr8 suggestions all, bc it is a personal journey. Just bc we choose not to tell someone the EXACT nature of the weightloss doesnt mean we r ashamed or lying about it, unless you flat out lie, lol. My hubby nd I talked about it, nd like we said, its no ones business as to how I started my journey, but if I choose to say somethn, its like everyone has said, I've had my eating habits changed, Ive limited my calorie intake, I exercise more, blah blah...its all the truth. But I've told people at church and my neighbor that I'm seein a nut, and will be put on a low cal high protein way of eating, for life. So when they see the weight comn off, they won't be so curious to pry any further. I mean, no one asked how I got fat or how I did it, so don't be nosey now tryn to figure out how I'm tryn to become healthier!! Just my thots. But right now I'm still hoop jumpn preop:/ but gl to u all:)

Oh my word!! How beautiful you are, in both pics, but certainly congrats nd Wtg, wow!! Are u at the goal u want to be ? Looks gr8:)

Ditto, can't c them:(

Ty all for your replies. I wear my hair braided most of the time or better yet loose locks which I do myself. I was just praying that when I do have the surgery, Lord willing, that I wont be leaving trails of plats behind me:/ thx

Ty, I read fish oil helps bc of good the fat:).

Someone asked in another forum if black people are having problems with hairloss and they told her to come to the African American forum...with that being said, has any1 had the problems with losing hair as so many non African Americans have? Thx:)

Hi all! Of course this is for post ops...but has anyone had there stomach flap, from weightloss, removed? The panniculectomy? Ik that my ins. will pay for it but doc says only if they find it medically necessary, so to make sure nd have documents saying that it caused skin issues or whatever. Just wondering, if u had it, how r u and how is the healing nd scarring? Thx, Dee Dee

Awwwh how sweet!! I'm glad that ur feeling the way we all deserve to feel:)). The doc that gave us the speech says our insurance will only pay for a panni, but after reading a post yesterday, I googled an dbit actually says that it will pay for "tummy tuck nd panni" in conjunction w wls but papereori from doc has to support it...hmm, but I'm still preop, so one journey at a time I guess. I just like being prepared;). Gl to u too!

Imho, ur working hard for a new healthier looking self, so y not, as many have said, concentrate on the people, and most of all, SHOW OFF THE NEW YOU AND STRUT UR STUFF!! and like another said, treat the food choices like u wud on the daily, nd then strut the new u some more:). And the more parties you attend, the more chances you get to strut a slimmer you as well as make gr8 choices. Don't let satan temp you w all that food, keep in mind y u needed the surgery tool, and use it properly. U can still have fun wo food being the main focus! Gl:). Dee Dee
