BMI ⬆40, verified sleep apnea, COPD, they allowed for secondary Prediabetes and Arthritis of ⬆✊57 years durations aBout since my insurance was PRIMARY Medicare and SECONDARY,Ohio Medicaid, the only one I needed to satisfy was,⬆40 BMI, one,of the few,benefits of being Greater than 65, and take my word, in American society that is a Perk. In Global,Society,i would be considered a Wise 🚺 Woman , something to be treasured, instead O am considered Old as Dirt, if,i am considered at all.

65 is still young.. it’s time for your second act and the best part of your life !! You made the choice to put yourself first and chose the path to wellness!!

Hey Stardust, it works, it works! What is your BMI down to now? Dug out my older paperwork, see I NEVER seem to throw things away- BMI 52,6 at first encounter with my surgeon's Head Nurse Practitioner Valerien I think she does all his intakes, almost exactly to the day 1 year ago. Proud to boast it is now 31.1 or it was last Saturday the 25th. Do you KNoW what this means? 30 is the boundary between Obese and merely Overweight! Oh I AM NOT STOPPING- I have gone through peaks,valleys and bumps on my Weight Loss Pathway, even a couple quagmires. Come too G.D. far to ever consider regressing, and so I never shall! I no longer need a wide angle for my "selfies" just a normal gauge 📷 camera. I wish areas of my skin would tighten up, but after being stretched So Longn there is no SnapBack, loop it off or its just gonna hang there. I have on my Very First Jegging, oh I am still,a little bulgy, but IDC, I DON'T CARE, it still is a triumph for ME! Nobody realizes how envious I was of everyone else who Could wear Jeggings before. I would go to Wal-Mart, go to the appropriate department and sniffle💦a lot, because it JUST WASN'T FAIR,just because I was BIG it shouldn't mean I was invisible. I knew , like the Velveteen Rabbit, I was "real".
