Topic: RE: May 24 2004
Hey Teri, I too had my surgery on May 24th 2004. I am so happy I chose to go on this journey. I have lost 117lbs. I started out at 298lbs and I am now 181lbs. I am still far away from my goal of 130lbs. I am happy though. I will ot be losing much weight this year due to being pregnant, which will bother me some, however, if I did not have this surgery I beleive I would not have been able to get pregnant. We are so happy!! Keep up the good work and let us know what your Dr says of all your success!- Melissa

Topic: pre-op diet requirements for insurance?
Hello, Did you have to be on a supervised diet by your PCP for 6months prior to surgery being presented to your insurance carrier?

I AM HERE>>>I AM HERE!!!
I know I am a lurker most of the time...I do faithfully read the messages 1-2x a day though. I have a little one at home and I also started selling on eBay so my replies usually are only in my head and rarely make it to the computer...SORRY!!
I will tell everyone that if you all have a lot of big clothes that are just clogging up your house....start selling them on eBay....I am shocked at how much they are in demand and how much more I get for them versus a garage sale. I would gladly give some to someone in our situation if they lived close by but it hasn't happened.
Tomorrow is my 1st RE-BIRTHDAY!!! WHat a ride this has been....and the only thing I might have changed if I could go back is to take more advantage of my first 6mo. If I would have exercised and drank my protein faithfully...then I wouldn't be sitting here struggling to get off the last 18lbs. Although.....I will GLADLY keep these 18lbs over going back to how I was before.
I am doing wonderful overall....except a few emotional issues. I guess for so long I blamed everything wrong in my life on my weight. I figured that once I lost it all my life would be perfect. WELLLLL...that just isn't the case as we all have found out. I get down sometimes...I am trying to deal with it though.
I have lost 112lbs and I have gone from a size 22/24 & 3X tops to a size 8 and med tops...LIFE IS GRAND!!! BY the way...I just hit size 8 the other day....woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!! 

I love reading about everyone and I pray we continue to keep this board up....you are all like family.
HUGS....
