I have Kaiser and did not do a sleep study.

I love this post also!

Janelle_VS Please make the decision to have the surgery for yourself. If I could have qualified for WLS years ago, I would have done. My husband is a nurse and did not want me to have for various reasons. My mother kept saying we can lose weigh together, but she continues to struggle and has many health problems due to her weight. My husband and mother have been supportive despite their feelings, especially since my insurance made sure I was educated about WLS before finally getting approved. The good thing is my mother seen a nutritionist and has taken a nutrition class and beginning her own journey into changing her life. She is not a good candidate for any type of WLS.

You look to be doing great!

Centrum chewables were recommended in my class through Kaiser,

Unfortunately, I keloid and will not get a breast reduction for that reason. I will risk the keloids for the sleeve only.

I am glad you made it!

I do not have a Lane Bryant credit card, but I do have one for Woman Within and even at my lowest weight of 125 pounds, I wore a 34 DDD/F bra, so I will still need it. Lol

Hi RCN Did you get your surgery date yet?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Congratulations on getting your date!

I have been married for almost 27 years and like someone else posted it is never 50/50. We have gone to counseling through our church, and professionally. Once we participated in a Weekend to Remember. The Weekend to Remember was very helpful. We have two children and were committed to each other and divorce was and is not an option. Please pray, and get some couples counseling to work on your marriage. Just a note: I plan all our trips and events he just likes to show up and enjoy! But he is very helpful with things that many men will not be involved with. None of us our perfect.

Congratulations to all of you getting your dates in Nov.

Finding sweets or food items left on my desk at work without my permission Being embarassed because people I have not seen since my youth or early 20s are so shocked I let myself go and gain so much weight Not enjoying to look in the mirror Avoiding shopping at the mall ,only online Having terrible stomach pain to do overeatiing or irritating my hiatal hernia landing myself in urgent care or the hospital ( the last time was at the end of 2011) but the memory is vivid
