Just wanted to say good luck to those having surgery tomorrow

Best of luck to you and speddy recovery

I loved Halloween when I was a kid but hate it as an adult because all of the cute costumes are not for fat people I can't wait til next year when I can rock those sexy costumes

I'm loving following your journey and you guys are correct pit bulls are the best dogs to own they are man's best friend

Tonight we're having steamed shrimp and rice I won't eat the rice

Good luck hon have a safe and easy recovery

@@winklie I remember days like yours when I relied on public transportation it was a bear of a day I commend you for your grit

unfourtunatly va is a state that opted out of coverage for bariatric surgery so you will have a hard time finding a plan that covers it

no the policy only changed in california no the policy only changed in california

i have medicaid through md and also have a managed health service but they are my secondary and they dont really have requirements just that my primary cover the surgery so im at a loss as well

most insurances will only pay for one weight loss surgery per life time so even if you have it with out it they might not cover it anyway

there are companies that offer loans for medical procedures based on credit you could look into one of those i dont know if its feasable for you but that is an option dont give up hope where there is a will there is a way

i have uhc through my dads employer and they require a 6 month monitered diet and a psych eval and a bmi over 40 or over 35 with 2 comorbities

i does make me feel better and my endo put me on victtoza and ive been losing about 2-3 pounds a week so i know ill show a loss at my next appointment

I just found an EAS protein drink that has 42 grams of protein its called myoplex I believe it's expensive but worth it

I have the same type of insurance. I'm in NC I have met all the requirements but am waiting for a date from my doctor's office, this has been the longest most exciting wait of my life. Did you have a long wait for a surgery date?I'm still in the 6 month wait process won't be done til February so I'll get my date then

@@Live42day right now I'm just doing the nutritionist classes I'm on month 3 after month 4 I will get all my tests done

so i went and saw my endocrinologist yesterday and she wants me on a medicine to control my weight. im already maxed out on topirimate because of migraines so originally she had me on trulicity once a week and oh my god that needle. it hurt like hell and the injection site was sore for a week and a half so yeah i just flat out stopped taking it. now i am on victoza and holy crap this is so much better the needle is thinner than the one i use to check my blood sugar. awesome

Wow that's just jaw dropping you look like a different person good job man best of luck to you

i love horses they are such amazing creatures ive always wanted to ride one but never have because i was scared with my weight a fall would break something so i might take lessons when i lose the weight we have tons of farms with beginner trails near my house

so far ive already lost 1 pound with victoza

that sucks but considering most insurances make you wait 6 months do you really want to post pone till maybe september of next year

my last 6 month class is in beginning of february and i'm learning alot from my nutritionist. the first month she focused on protein the second on exercise i can't wait for the third month i'm learning so much about my self and about what healthy foods i like and dont like
