No I have not had the surgery yet. I have been researching for a bit and asking questions on here. I am gonna change my insurance at work during open enrollment this year and it will probably be mid to late spring of next year when I do it. I have to do the insurance thing to try to save a big chunk of change and I want nice weather to be able to be outside for those first few months where you really see that drop to accelerate it even more, hope that doesn't sound stupid.

Good for you! I hope you get your insurance worked out. You have a great desire to fix your life as well as those around you. It's the best gift to give your child. I am constantly playing with my kids now. I nerver realized how little I did before :-)

Sounds like we have the same in laws!! This last week I have been fighting with my MIL over a stupid dog. For literally years we have asked her not to bring her dog with her (or to keep it outside on our fenced back yard) because my daughters allergies. Well she left her dog at my house and went to California. She got back 3 days later at like 3 in the morning. My daughter came in my room at 5:30 with eyes SWOLLEN SHUT what did I do? Send her down to wake up my MIL for medication. The next day she swore she will never bring the dog back (I know she will but at least she had to deal with the partial fall out this time)

Even almost a year out (in 4 mos) and being waay smaller and it being very noticable- this has been 1 of the hardest post op hurdles for me... I have talked to friends and even my pre- op therapist who says it is just going to take time.... but I agree it is hard to take a compliment when you hever or rarely had positive feedback EVER...
