 Happy Holidays you guys! I am officially 3 months post op RNY. I started my weight loss journey process in March at 401. Surgery weight 351. Today 280. -121 lbs total 71 since surgery. It started off rocky in the beginning but finally getting on track. Thanksgiving wasn't so bad. I ended up eating pickles. Lol pray everyone had a blessed holiday and you will be seeing me post more and back more often since my rocky stage has passed hopefully. ;-)

discharged yesterday and in so Much pain. I caught the bus and train and he hit every bump imaginable.  I am extremely sore and it hurts like crazy.  Now I have diarrhea.  I know TMI but this journey is crucial.  Going to try to take this day a little easier and relax and walk alot more. Just an update for you guys. Now need my pain meds and some sleep.  ;-)

getting prepped for surgery. Have to be at the hospital in the morning by 9am. So nervous and excited. I can't believe it's almost here. And my actual bday is Tuesday. My emotions are all over the place. Sending prayers up and asking God to send blessings down. Will keep you guys posted! 

 I been trying to post for days from my phone but it wouldn't allow me to. After all this time  I am so excited and mostly nervous to say I have been APPROVED by my insurance to have surgery. I am currently on a 2-week liquid diet, and I am on day 5. Surgery is on 8/15/2016. I don't have an exact time yet but will find out Monday hopefully. I am beyond excited. I still can't believe this is real. I started my 3-month disciplinary program in March on the 30th, and I had my last appointment June 30th. I had an end of program appointment July 6th and everything was submitted July 18th. Approval by July 25th. I just want to say thanks to everyone who listened to me vent, supported me, and encouraged me. I have been a member of this site for a long time and hopefully years to come so maybe I can help someone else along the way. Today was rough. I did and ate some things I shouldn't have but no more of that. I won't be the reason I don't have my surgery. Will keep you guys posted, but it was time for an update. Talk to you guys soon. God bless and HAPPY FRIDAY

Hey everybody! Praying all is well with my amazing group of people. Just a quick question. I hhaven't been able to get to my consultation yet due to not being able to take off work. But I have rescheduled for 3/30/2016. The question is when does the 6 month or 3 month program start? Do they set another appointment after the consultation to get it started or is all if that taken care of in the day of consultation? What does the consultation actually consists of? So many questions.. so nervous and anxious... any info is greatly appreciated ;-)

March 4th at 2:00 with Dr. Nicholson is aapproaching... I am nervous and excited at the same time. I have been researching and trying to have Gbs for the past 14 years. I am praying that this is my time. I will be back to post updates about my new journey. Pray for your OH friend.

Thanks

happy New year's everyone... I haven't posted in a long ttime because life took its toll on me. I have missed it here. Glad to be back. I have relocated since my last post and have an amazing job. So my question for you guys is this... I have an amazing new job which I started 6 months ago. My insurance will start in March of this year on the 1st and my policy states that it covers bariatric surgery. So how long do I need to have my insurance before I can go see a bariatric surgeon to get the ball back rolling? Just so excited I don't know what to do. The last time I went through this I ended up losing the job that had the insurance after I had did all of the visits, psych veal and everything. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated you guys! Thanks :-)

Hey guys! Happy Saturday... Just relaxing and enjoying my day off. I went to see the new Twilight Breaking Dawn Pt.2 last night, and I must say it is a MUST see! I loved, loved, loved, freaking loved it. I hate that it's the end though. But on to the reason for my post. I am still around 375 unfortunately. But I have found out about my new insurance. I called and talked with a representative the other day, and she informed me that my insurance does cover weight loss surgery. At the time, she couldn't tell me the limitations or wait period, but hopefully I will find out in the next week. Just wanted to update and let you guys know that atleast now I know that it is covered!!!!!! Now I am ready to find out the next step. Will ttyl. Stay sweet and God Bless. :)

Okie dokie! First off, hi everybody!!!!!!!!!!! How is your beautiful Sunday going?? Well today I have came to some realizations. I have been real stressed these past few weeks. I was doing great on my weight loss journey. I was down to 358, and now I am back up to 375. When I get stressed or depressed, like so many others, I turn to food. I don't even be hungry, but I just eat. Then when I am done eating, I still feel terrible and beat myself up even more. Living a healthy life so I can be there for my family is very important to me, but I can't seem to find a way to get back on track. I am motivated and determined to lose this weight, but these past few weeks I lost sight of the importance. The truth is I think fear of failure is clouding my motivation and determination. I know I can do this, but sometimes you just want someone to believe in you as much as you believe in yourself. I have been battling obesity since before I was a teen, and now I just want to be normal and enjoy my life for a change. I will NOT give up. I will KEEP pushing forward. I will PROMISE to give it my all, and nothing LESS than my BEST. Please just pray for me that I get my surgery, and that God gives me strength to endure all the trials and tribulations along the way. God bless and ttyl e1.

Back for a quick update. Everything is great. I weigh about 365 which is -91 lbs from my highest weight of 456. I haven't had surgery yet, but that is what this post is about. So guess what??? Monday I start my new job. I am so nervous but also very excited. I will be getting some pretty good insurance through BCBSAL! The premium is $290.00 but the cost to me will be $70.00. I have a $500.00 deductible with a $400.00 out of pocket maximum. The part I am anxious to find out is if the company I am working for included bariatric surgery as part of the plan. I know I will have to wait a while to even apply, but just knowing they do will be an awesome thing. I will update on Monday and let you guys know the verdict. Please send prayers up for me. Thanks and have a blessed day my friends. :)
