Hi I'm Dede and I'm new to this forum. I have just finished my six month medically montoritored weight loss program for insurance purposes. My paperwork is with dictation and will be submitted by the end of th is week. Then I have to wait another 1-2 weeks to get my approval and be scheduled. I'm still hoping for early November.
I'm 60 years old new, married mom of five and career woman. Four of my kids are grown and married and I have one late in lifer still at home. I love to read, am a woman of faith, sing on our praise team when I can and enjoy my grandkids. My mom had gastric bypass surgery almost 20 years ago and although she has multiple problems with low blood sugar and dumping (becasue she makes bad choices) she has never regretted it. I lost my weight between child 2-3 but after two more pregnacies one on top of the other, I never lost weight and have steadily climbed. I can't take wieght loss drugs due to minimal cardiac disease. I also have fibromyalgia, spondolosis in my lower back which make some exercise difficult. I am pre-diabetic and had gestational diabetes with my last baby. I also have sleep apnea.
I've decided to go with the sleeve procedure. I don't want to mess around with malabsorption and I've seen that was a problem with my mom getting older. I have just about 100lbs to lose.
I'm wondering if anyone reaches a 100% goal and how fast they move between clothing sizes so I can be prepared to have something to wear to work. LOL
Glad to have found the forumn.
DeDe
