Starting the process could use some encouragement
lorri716 replied to blmcdbug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm sorry to hear this. I just saw this after I posted. I would appeal. Make an appt with the doctor and discuss it. -
Starting the process could use some encouragement
lorri716 replied to blmcdbug's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I called my insurance prior to attending my first seminar. It helped speed up my process and I knew exactly what I was required to do and for how long. The insurance company told me everything as far as how long my wait period qas, which was only 3 months w cap blue cross. I attended my first seminar, scheduled my Dr appt for 2 weeks later, my nut appt was a week after that and the appts just kept flowing, next thing I knew my wait was over and I had surgery on 9/1. You won't chicken out. It's the best thing I've ever done. Not mention I'm almost 50lbs lighter. I didn't have to lose any weight prior to surgery as my bmi was only 40 which is the minimum required by insurance. So call that insurance company and get the details you wot regret it. -
Any Sleeved Couples out there?
lorri716 replied to Fat2Phat2016's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
My daughter and I both have had the sleeve done. I was Sept 1 and she was Oct 20. She still lives at home with me so it's a great support for both of us. -

What to do with old clothes?
lorri716 replied to LibrarianBecky's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I used to hold on to everything, now I donate it all. I keep nothing. Once the weight is gone it's never coming back so why keep them, that's my thought. That's a great idea about the consignment shop. -

Got in my exercise but weight didn't budge cw 215

Good advice, thank you. I was not looking forward to no carbs at all.

Well I think I have finally hit my first real stall. By that I mean, I've been the same weight for 7 days. I've done a 3 say stall but not a week straight. I know that I'm not getting all the fluids and proteins I need and I'm sure that's the problem. I'm considering adding some protein shakes back into my daily diet. I've also go to eliminate all carbs. I've got alot on my plate at home right now therefore carbs have made their way back into my life. I seriously need to reboot!

Time off work - selfish?
lorri716 replied to Leesa926's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Let me be the first to say....it's time to be selfish! This about you and your life changing experience. You do not need to tell work why you are getting surgery, atleast specifically what kind. That's why there is hipa. Good luck with your surgery. -
Battling Feelings of Shame
lorri716 replied to Jasley's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think you are probably like some of us who left life get in the way and put yourself last. I've done this for the last 24 years while taking care of my kids, my house, my husband, and my job. You need to start understanding that you deserve this. There will be no shame from this step forward. Put your shame behind you and embrace the fact that you are getting the chance to change your life for the better and for you, not anyone else. Good luck to you. -
I was sleeved on 9/1 and I still don't get all my water in either. Idk how people are doing it. I'm lucky to get 40 oz a day of any type of liquid.
