Hey everyone I'm 3 months out tomorrow and I've lost 50 pounds. It's not as fast as some are losing but I'm so glad to be losing I don't care how fast I do it. I just got a job so I'm sure it's going to go faster now though.

Jessileigh, you are so right, losing it is what matters. Getting healthy matters. Comparing our weight loss is a recipe for heartbreak.

Exactly my sister had surgery a week after me and has already lost 75lbs. My mantra is "No two journeys are the same" I tell my self that all the time lol!

I'm new to this forum & I'm looking for fellow sleevers in the Alabama area. I'm about 1.5 years out and am doing great but I need supplort locally. Feel free to add me as friends. I'm probably going to start a local FB group in the Huntsville area if anyone is interested in joining, please let me know.

Thanks,

Suzie

I live in Alabama and used Dr. Alvarez too. He was amazing.

I'm seeing Dr Miles in Bham on Friday. I have BCBS and I'm worried about about proving 3 year history. Any insurance hoop-jumping would be great.

I am from Tuscaloosa and planning to go see Dr. Bradley Bilton here. I haven't scheduled an appointment with him yet b/c we have just changed our insurance plan at work to one that does cover WLS. I am also nervous about proving the history. I have NEVER liked going to the doctor so, other than the urgent care clinics when I have a cold in the winter, I haven't been in 8 years. I have made an appointment with a PCP for this coming Wednesday, but I'm afraid this may cause me to not get approved. I spoke to the nurse at Dr. Bilton's office and was told that my current BMI will get me qualified with no co-morbidities, but I don't know how no history will help. Have my fingers crossed tho.

I am seeing Dr. Schmitt that is in the office with Dr. Miles. I was supposed to use Dr. Miles but because of the snow storm back in January my first appointment was rescheduled with Dr. Schmitt. When do you think you will have surgery? I plan on late September or October.

I have been trying so hard to find sleevers from Alabama. I am from Pelham and I want to find some folks that can possibly reccomend local support groups, a mentor or something.

My surgeon is W. Scott Pennington and I love, love, love this man, his bedside manners and the fact that he is a christian. My surgery was 3 September and me and the whole puree thing isn't working but we are slightly better than the clear liquid phase.
