    Problems with poultry...

    I have has the hardest time as well and my dr said that all his patients have the same issue ...no one seems to be able to handle poultry , his suggestion is salmon and fish but I'll be honest I don't like neither so u have been eating ground turkey in my chili and salads

    UHC

    If its excluded from the policy there is nothing you can do because the employer chooses the exclusions and inclusions of the policy ..you could appeal to hr and see if they will do an exception

    Monthly cycles

    I skipped my period the whole month after my surgery and then it came back with a vengeance
  7. I agree although bring overweight contributed to depression , it's not the cause and I have been on lamictal and Zoloft for 6 years and I'll be on it for the rest of my life because I have a chemical imbalance and helps level me....

    Excess skin

    Yeah unfortunately you can exercise and tone but the sagging skin will be left as you lose the weight...it's one of the many downfalls...some people it's worse for than others....I lost 80 lbs and its mostly in my arms, stomach , and my breasts..the skin stretches the bigger you are and when u lose the weight you lose the fat but the skin stays

    raw veggies

    Yeah I get the English cucumber and also peel the skin off
  13. The sad part is you don't want to lose too much before surgery because its determined by your bmi and health and depending on the ins company they may not approve it... I simply just started not drinking soda and limited the carbs and sugars that I wouldn't be able to tolerate after the surgery ... Started at 292 when I first started the process and on the day of surgery weighed 282.
  14. I am 4 months post op , surgery weight 282, current weight 206.4... I have just started getting 60 grams of protein , of course it's mostly from quest protein bars... I haven't had much of regular food because up until 3 weeks ago I was diagnosed with an ulcer and had to take meds ...I'm still happy with my decision to have the surgery, just having a hard time with watching people eat at bbq's... I love the weight loss and I'm wearing size lg in shirts which I don't think I've worn since elementary school , but I've lost my boobs and the sagging skin is only starting to get annoying but I knew about it going in and I'm healthier... Losing my hair so not very happy about that...hopefully it stops

    skin breakout

    Pro active definitely works, I can actually send u before and after pics....
  16. I am so sorry for you and your family on what you have gone through....at this point the original surgeon should be held liable and everyone that was involved, that is such a huge malpractice suit...if anything I hope that things will turn around....I researched and researched when I decided on the dr who was to do my surgery and I knew some of his previous patients .... Stay strong and know SSD always denies on the first time and if you have to find a good lawyer who deals with disability cases and only gets paid if u get approved... Good luck
  17. I am 4 months out and I don't feel hunger but I don't feel full either ... I can tell when I should eat and I just stop on my own when I think I should be full... It's hard because that was why I wanted the surgery cause I never felt full
  18. I have never been obsessed with my boobs until now... I was so big 8 years ago I had a mammoplasty and went from 46DDD to a 42C, I was quite content and thought get it would be ok if they were a B...i gained weight over the years and went to a 44C now I'm freaking out cause they have no bounce anymore and my lane Bryant bras no longer fit...mind you after my mammoplasty I went to Victoria secret thinking I could finally fit in there bras, that was a laugh , the highest they had was a 38C....just last week I received my first Victoria secret catalog in the mail and I know I didn't order it...think the hospital sold my address , lol...so I m wearing at 42C but I know that the cup size is too big???? I'm down 75 lbs since my surgery in march but I don't want to lose it in my boobs.... Oh well I guess I'll get over it , push ups here I come ..
