It's been a long journey, 20 and excited

I know how you feel! I thought I could do it on my own' date=' yea, well, not happening. It's so hard and I finally had to come to terms that I need this and I need it now because I can't live the rest of my life this way. I don't know how and when I lost control of my weight but it happened and now I'm facing reality. I'm anxiously waiting for these 6 months to fly by so I can get surgery. At least I've made the decision to stick to it. Also, BCBS has a ton of different groups with different clauses. My friend has it and WLS isn't covered at all. My sister has it and hers didn't require any type of supervised diets. Just depends on what your employer purchases.[/quote']

I am soo glad I am doing this. Just left my 0-6mo meeting. It was awsome and sooo motivating. I called my insurance and they cover WLS. I am so happy..I cannot wait. I am also happy you are on this journey as well. It feels great to know we are not allne.

Welcome. Congratulations on taking this step. I am 2 weeks out down 31 lbs and never felt better. If you have any questions feel free to ask

I have bcbs. They will cover the removal only if it is causing problems (rash infection etc)

I was in stage one which was liquids. I had four ounces of whey isolate w/ skim milk 5x a day. And I walked a half mile three times a day.

I think that the reason I lost so much was because I have a lot to lose.

I have a lot to lose as well. I weigh 275 now and my starting weight was 294.8

Guess I should just up my exercise. After I finish this paper I can focus more on my self. I think I'm gonna take a year of from school to focus solely on my health, family, and work or maybe just a semester.
