I can't believe I let so much time go by without updating this. <br/><br/>The good...<br /> I am now 4 months out and down 57 lbs including my pre-op loss of 6 lbs. Yesterday I went to get a couple of cold weather ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,175626/Wed, 16 Jul 2008 22:24:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,175626/Wow, I can't believe it will be one month ago (well just about) that I had my VSG! It's been a roller coaster for sure. One minute I'm excited that the scale seems to be magically moving down and the next I'm grouchy and weepy and can't believe I've done ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,166555/Fri, 13 Jun 2008 08:37:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,166555/Yippee, just found my SIL on the board and boy does she look incredible. I'm so proud of you Anita! Can't wait to join you for some SHOPPING! Might have to get a second job, but Anthropologie, here we come...http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,166011/Tue, 10 Jun 2008 10:01:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,166011/Okay, I am officially scared to death. Yes, I am scared about the surgery, but not nearly as much as I am about changing myself forever. I have been overweight or obese since I was a child and I don't have a clue what life will be like as a ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,164078/Tue, 03 Jun 2008 10:08:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,164078/I think I'm in shock because I haven't started to really worry yet. Well, maybe partly due to the fact that my whole family (me included) has had the stomach flu for 10 days now! NOT exactly how I pictured losing another 4 pounds! I'm sure they will come right ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,162365/Tue, 27 May 2008 20:09:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,162365/Wow, I am just dazed. Went to the surgeon's support group tonight and met some lovely OH members as well as locals. The nurse told me that I do not need a psych eval after all since I am a self pay patient. I am so happy to hear that ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,160990/Wed, 21 May 2008 20:08:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,160990/Well, there is no way my insurance will cover surgery, especially since I am now interested in the gastric sleeve and not the RNY. I am sick over having to pay for this but I know it will be worth it. I will do whatever it takes to see this ... http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,157530/Wed, 07 May 2008 09:47:00 -0700http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/tamathav/blog/action,comments/blog_post_id,157530/Well, last week I began the process of getting all my paperwork together for surgery. I visited my PCP and after a weight loss lecture (aaargh!) she grudgingly told me she would give a referral. Then she said her transcription was behind and that it may take up to 3 ...
