Made it to a size 12! I haven't been a size 12 since Jr. High!!!! (Like 7th grade)

The True Results company also has an option for surgery if you have a hiatal hernia. They will bill to insurance as a hiatal hernia operation and do the sleeve/bypass while they are in there. It's something worth checking out. I didn't have a hernia otherwise I would have gone this route since it would have been cheaper.

It's not Cigna that is choosing not to cover it. It's your employer. Employers get to choose what is and not covered on the health plans that they offer to their employees. Your best bet is to write to your HR/Benefits department to encourage them to add this benefit to all employees health plans explaining the benefits it would provide to them as a company. If you do a google search there are example letters out there. If your insurance is not through an employer and is privately based then that particular plan has the exclusion and you would have to find a different plan that has that benefit on it, which could have a higher premium to it.

I've had both bypass (12-4-14) and sleeve (03-16-15). Cause I'm that lucky. I have a sleeve now. How do you go from bypass to sleeve? I've never heard of that before and a quick Google search couldn't provide me with any info. I've heard of sleeve to bypass, but not the other way around.

My weight finally moved! 182.8! Woohoo!

I usually get dizzy when I'm not getting enough water in. Hope you get it figured out!

Today is my 30th birthday, and I weigh less than I did when I was in high school. 30th birthday weight is 183.8!

Hey there! I'm in Irving! I'm 29...ok, 30 tomorrow lol and I was sleeved on 3/25/15. I'm down 131lbs. My Instagram is LadyCookVSG if you wanna follow my journey!

gorgeous dress! Thanks! I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding on 11/7.

I'm the sameeeeeeeeeeeee :-/ 186.0

Wow! You look great! Thank you both!

Down 130lbs! Size 24 to a size 14. Still have around 40lbs that I would like to lose. I would like to lose it by my 1 year surgiversary on 3/25/16. Just gotta keep trucking!

I'm down 130lbs since 3/25. I feel great. Still have around 40lbs to go. Goal is 145-150.

Thank you! I actually get that a lot. Most friends guess I'm a size 10/12. I think it's because I get pretty narrow right below my boobs (where this dress comes in at) I still want to lose 36-41 more pounds putting me at 145-150. We'll see. I'm just letting my body lead the way lol

Thank you!! I am 5'7". I started at 316 (size 24) and I'm currently 186 (size 14)

Thank you both so much. I can't begin to explain to you how it makes me feel to know that I've been an inspiration. It makes me all mushy and happy!!! I'm happy to help in anyway I can so PLEASE if you have any questions don't hesitate to message me. I'll help the most I can. I found someone on here to be my sounding board and now she and I are best friends!
