Week 25 Post-Op Update
Aug 04, 2011
Wholly Shnikes what a week!The scale says I weight 272 Lbs now! That makes 12 lbs of weight loss for the month of July! I am so close to 270 now I can't hardly believe it. The significance of 270 is this.. Back in 2005 I tried to get qualified for bariatric surgery and after about 6 months, dozens of tests, and thousands of dollars spent while being jerked around at the Mayo Clinic, the FUCKERS finally told me that our insurance had an exclusion preventing me from coverage for WLS! Would have been some good info to have early on don't ya think ASSHOLES? I was so pissed so in 2006 I went on the Medifast Diet and lost 110 Lbs. I got all the way down to 270 lbs and then.. the economy tanked and my toy store went bankrupt. But worse yet, my Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Mom and my store both passed away in early 2007 and the rest is just a 4 year blur of eating everything and anything! Getting my life back in 2011 thanks to Dr Fang, Aetna PPO, & my VSG WLS are the single best thing I have done for myself in many, many years. I plan to take some recent pics and post them here and in the VSG forum within the next week or so. My 6 month surgiversary is next week on August 10th. I'll definitely get the pics up on or before then.
Thanks again OH friends!... Craig
