Height, weight and loss



Recommended Posts

I can't see tickers on my iPad <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':(' />

I want to get this started bc my insurance covers the TT if skin is low enough. Well by fat stomach hangs that far so I imagine my skin will too. Lol

What insurance do you have? I'm hoping for a TT as well :)

Sorry' date=' I forgot about not being able to see the tickers on the vst app. I also use my iPad, and if you go to the actual vst website the tickers show up. I love looking at everyone's tickers!

That is awesome your insurance covers a TT! Mine will only cover a panniculectomy I'm going to see how much extra it'll cost to do a TT at the same time. Hopefully I'll be able to afford it. I'd rather get them done at the same time.

Here's my stats:

5'5"

Starting 268lbs 44.59bmi

Day of surgery 260lbs

Current 155lbs. 25.79bmi

Goal 140lbs

Date of surgery 11/16/2010

What are tickers? And what is TT? Sorry I was just curious :)

Tickers are the little charts on the bottom of peoples posts that show there progress. They are only visible on the website not on the apps.

TT is a Tummy Tuck.< /p>

I have blue cross of IL. My biggest worry right now is the insurance changes that are going to be made. I would be devastated to lose all kinds of weight with the hope of a TT through insurance and then it changes.

I'm 5'4.

Starting weight at surgery? 360

Weight lost? I'm at 305 so that's 55 lbs

Months since sleeve? 5 months (April 8 2013)

I actually gained 15 lbs after surgery, then once I lost that 15 lbs I stalled for a month! My weight loss would be much more if that hadn't happened!

Would anyone be willing to share just their stats? I'm only asking because I would like to see the average weight loss and its hard in long threads. If you are at your goal could you put that as well?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
