1 year: just shy of 100
newmebithebypass replied to FrankyG's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I love your positivity you rock and hey that's a lot of weight in one year congratulations -
I have a friend like that he's constantly depressed and lonely but refuses to take psych meds to help with the depression. Refuses to see a doctor about his weight even though he's pushing 500 pounds and it would solve so many of his problems. Honestly I just smile and nod at this point

What did you tell people about your absence?
newmebithebypass replied to Good apple's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

My work family oddly enough is my husbands family long story there but there's only one person at the office that doesn't know but he's new and I don't know him that well and he's not family so he probably won't be told IMHO -

Some insurance requires you to use these hospitals because they are typically in net work and better than a standard hospital. I am getting bcbs anthem next year and they require a blue designation hospital so I am switching programs half way through -
