Hi Renee
I will post -
Starting weight - 289
Current weight - between 132 and 135 - depending on the day!
I don't get on my scale anymore than once a week, I am happy where I am! I continue to eat my protein first - and make good choices! I am into enjoying my life - and having a wonderful summer! I wish I had the inclination to exercise more, because if I did, I would certainly tone up and probably lose a few more pounds, but hey - I am very happy where I am! I have lost a total of 154 lbs (give or take a few) and totally appreciate the tool I have - the friends I have gained, and the lessons I continue to learn!
Loving Life - Kelly

I did not experience denial myself, but I feel your frustration. It's hard to want to take this drastic, life-changing step and encounter obstacles every step of the way. Think of the obstacles as the universe's way to make sure you are really ready--if you can overcome these, you can be successful with WLS.
Did you hear anything yet? What is the outcome?

Topic: First week of August weigh-in--step up and be accountable
Happy Monday, everyone! It's a beautiful day, and I wish I didn't have to work. Oh well...
I had a good week with exercise and weight. It really helped that it cooled off and the humidity dropped. I think I ran 6 out of 7 days!
Starting weight: 298.4
Last week: 139.8
This week: 139.0
Loss of 0.8 lbs this week
The Olympics have been very inspirational to me--these are people who have honed their bodies to perfection for a specific purpose. Their dedication and commitment are amazing, no matter if they earn a gold medal or finish last. It has taken me a long time to come to appreciate my muscles instead of burying them in fat, but now I am determine to become as strong and fit as I can be.
Run mileage this week: 18.3 miles last week, including one day of hill repeats. One day on the elliptical for 4 additional miles. Half-marathon is 3 weeks away!

Topic: RE: I need help
Hi! ... I just came across your post and I realize it's a month old but was just wondering if you were still in need of some clothes... I have pants (size 22/2x) and shirts (size 3x) ... Alot of it was given to me by other very generous OH members or I got it at Swapkins so I would gladly just give them to you, whatever you would be interested in... Have you heard of Swapkins?... Please let me know if you are interested in taking a look at the clothes I have or if you would like more information about Swapkins... Best to email me directly as I don't check this site regularly... [email protected]

Topic: Come On Already...........
Hello All -
So I am irritated with my insurance company, the surgeons office etc.....
Surgeons office - gave me two incorrect dates of when they faxed in my paperwork. Frustrating!
Insurance Company - recieved my paperwork on the 18th of July.....but they didn't have it entered into their system until 2 days ago.......it is still under review - today is day 10 from submission on the 18th regardless of when they enter it into their system and this is their last day to make a decision........makes me so nervous.
I am freaking out b/c I will cry and pull all of my hair out if they deny me. I have done everything that they have asked me to do. I am getting lots of pressure from my job regarding when I will be out of the office and for how long........so I say.....Come On Already!
Did anyone else have to deal with this? Has anyone been denied for surgery?
