  1. Well as of last thursday I had my 6month surgiversary. I ALSO had my 50th (gulp) birthday this saturday. All I can say is this was the best thing I have ever done for myself. Im down over 100lbs, still have about 60-75 to go, but gosh, cant believe how fast this has gone by. Yes it has been one heck of a ride. There were days in the beginning when I wanted my stomach back because I was moarning my food. Not physically, just mentally missing my "best friend". I have my stalls, but I just up my protein and fluid intake and it seems to help....my doctor tells me that my body needs to heal after so much weight loss, and that it actually goes thru plateaus where is has to adjust to the weight, then it will continue to loose again. So if you are someone who is thinking about this surgery, it WORKS, you just need to do the work also, remember it IS a tool, and Im so glad I got it!!!!!!

    Why thank you! I would love to be a model, unfortunately to be a plus sized model, you cant really look plus sized. lol. But thanks to this surgery I will be small in a few months and I should be able to do it. Lets see how this goes.

  10. Hi everyone, starting my 6th and last month of my dr & dietician monthly visits! Just wondering if anyone had problems getting okayed by insurance because they didnt loose any weight during the 6months supervision? I havent gained any, but I sure as heck didnt loose any either!! Also, after surgery, do you still get hunger pains???

  12. Month 3 of insurance wait done, now 3 months to go.....wooooooo hooooooo....actually blah, hate having to wait, but 3 months is gonna fly by!!!
  13. Well I have made it throught the first 2 months of my required doctor AND dietician (weight loss supervision) with 4 months to go, and my primary care physician told me today that I have mitral valve leakage, a faulty mitral valve. Which she said that I could have had a faulty heart as a child and it doesnt show up until later in life. REALLY???? I love my doctor, and trust her alot, just not something that I wanted to hear today. She said that she isnt concerned about it, RIGHT NOW...so I shouldnt stress out about it, but she wants me to have a stress test, (this was found on an echo that I had done recently) sooooo, just wondering if anyone else out there has this, or had surgery to correct it, and if they also still had the sleeve? Im a stress eater so I told my doctor I really just want to run home and curl up in bed with my 2 boys....BEN & JERRY!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

Haters!!!

So sick and tired of hearing people tell me, well I guess your gonna do it the "easy way". Easy??? REALLY??? This has been a battle for me for over 30yrs. I have been yoyo-ing with my weight from when I only had 30lbs to loose, and now I have 200 to loose, so it INFURIATES me when someone says its the easy way out. Just tired of being judged if your too big, or too small, or whatever you look like....(yeah, I need chocolate)...Im just peeved because I work at a hospital, and believe
