    What is the rudest thing someone has said to you?!?!

    Our gym class was the same way, except mine was "219" and I was teased soo badly at school. Thank God that was decades ago. But the memories are still there and not forgotten.

    Tampons or Pads.

    I use overnight pads, as well as laying a towel down when I sit or lay down at home. At work I bring an extra pair of undies just in case of an overflow. I usually put one pad almost on top of the other, that way I can coverage in the front and the back.

    200 lb loss photos

    Congrats, you look beautiful, I love that black dress your wearing.
  12. Congratulations ladies, you all had surgery on my BIRTHDAY.... I had my surgery on May 27th and my dr kept me overnight, I had gas pain on the left side where one incision was but as soon as I was able to get up and walked around it helped. By the 2nd to 3rd day the gas was basically gone. Wishing many blessings and success to each and everyone of you.
  13. That is excellent news, 20lbs gone, I'm proud of you.

  14. I'm sorry, you probably have some people ask you the same question. I do appreciate you showing your post op pics. How are you doing so far?

    Does anyone measure food?

    I weigh and measure my foods, my issue is when I drink, I have a tendency to gulp my drinks, usually it's too late i will drink too much and then my chest starts to hurt. I guess I am going to have to measure out my 2oz of fluids. I am on soft food right now. Any suggestions?

    Just got my Realize Band!

    I had the realize band placed on May 27th and I am doing fine, my port site is a lil sensitive other than that I am fine. I feel like you, today I tried on pants that were too tight before and a shirt that i couldn't fit and it was loose, and my wedding rings are sliding off, I am going to have to buy ring guards until I get down to my goal weight and then get them sized. Hope you are doing well. Good luck on your journey, we are in this together.

    Approved today

    Thank you all for your quick replies and your Congrats... Laurentayler: My insurance is Kanawha it is under the hospital I work for, They put in the request April 9th and I got the reply April 23rd so it has been 2 weeks. I see that every dr.'s office does things differently, I will get my surgery date on April 28th when I meet with the surgeon, and my EGD will be done on May 18th. The EGD is the last thing that I have to do, the only thing I am worried about is that the hospital has been laying off people and I don't want to one of those they lay off especially because I am so close to having my surgery done. EVERYONE PRAY FOR ME!! Mike: How Exciting!! I can't wait for my date. Keep in touch and let me know how everything goes. TSB: I'll keep you in my prayers. We are going to be optimistic, you'll have your approval soon, I can't see you going through everything and it dosen't happen. Tawandabee: Thanks girlie for all of your encouragment. :crying::wub::wub::thumbup::thumbup::wub::wub::wub::wub::tt1::tt1::tt1::wub::wub::wub:
