wanting answers
Jun 12, 2014
I am coming up on my 6yr post-op WLS. I was wanting to know if anyone has had any luck with getting Mississippi Medicare/Medicaid covering a tummy tuck(apron) or arms(batman wings)? Any help would be grateful.

Don't know were to start. I am in a downfall with my weight. I cannot seem to make the scales move in the right direction anymore. I seem to have no trouble with them moving UP. I have tried it all from portion control, measuring, exercise, you name it I have tried it. I had my WLS back in 2008 and got down to 185lbs. Hate to say I am standing "FAT" at 243.5lbs. What can I do to get back on track???
time flies

My how time flys.. Hard to believe it has been 4 years ago today that myself & my friend had WLS together in Mobile,Al.. I have had some rough patches but there has also been some good ones. I would really like to start looking into having some skin removed but really dont know were to start. I kinda figured that my insureance will not pay for it(Medicaid/Medicare). I will keep my research up until I can find someone that will be able to do it. Did I mention I am still holdig my own at 213.5lbs.. That there is a miricale since I started out at 385lbs..

20 1/2 months gone...
Mar 25, 2010
just had a 20 month check up this past Tuesday.. well my doctor wasn't happy about my weight.. yea i slipped here a few months ago and just never shook those pounds off. i am proud to say i am back on track.. in my journey on this new life i have found there to be many obstacles but i know i can jump them all if i try hard enough. my own personal goal weight is 160lbs but the doctor goal weight for me is 170lbs. we the weather changing i do hope to get out doors more so i can accomplish getting to my personal goal. my only regret from this is i did not do it sooner.

Good Morning
Jan 18, 2010
Well it has been 18 months ago today. I try to keep up with the times but it doesn't always happen. At the moment I am weighting in at 197.5lbs. My weight goal is 160lbs. though. I am struggling to lose these few last pounds. I workout at least 4-5 days a week. I watch what I eat and try to get in plenty of water and protein. my water intake is not so good right now. As much as I try i can barely get in 40oz. a day. I guess that is my biggest struggle but I am trying to con cor it. I am hoping that one day in the future I can have my excess removed. If i am able to have the excesses removed that would account for part of the weight being gone. i am going to try to post a few new pics in the upcoming days. my journey on a new me begining on 7/18/08. This is a journey i will be experiencing the rest of my wonderful life. May God Bless You All.

It has been awhile(sorry)
Apr 15, 2009
I have been pleased with my RNY. It has been almost nine months. I have really started to notice the changes and other people have noticed alot of change. I guess when it is you, you really don't notice as much as the next person. I have however had several stalls. that is the downside to it though. This is about my third stall and this one has lasted so far for 1 month. My husband on the other hand is having a time reacting to the new me. He thinks now that I am losing weight I can run a marathon an stuff. But in the same breathe he says I am gaining it all back. To clarify I am not gaining it back. He is just trying to find a way to deal with the new me.

things are going good here.
Nov 22, 2008
As you all know I am 4 months an 4 days out. It has been a slow go at things but getting better. I went to the doctor the other day an he says I am doing well. I started my journey at 331 on 7/18/08 an as of 11/18/08 I am 266. Yes I feel better most days but still have some bad days. I can actually go to a local store an buy myself some jeans that fit. I went from a women's plus size 30 jeans down to a 20..
WOW!!! I am so thrilled. I know I still have a long way to go but I am up for the challenge.
