    hi there. actually your date or surgery is same with my friend's surgery. mine is 21st, my friend is 23rd, and my other friend is on 19th. we did it together so it'll be same burden to share. hope we can share this experience together
  4. Hi. When did you have the lap band surgery? I have heard that a lot of people who have had the lap band are opting for the sleeve now. I am not a big fan of the lap band. I always think that it is a foreign object that our bodies want to get rid of....lol. Did you lose any weight with the band? Wow, going all the way from KY to OH...what a hall. I guess I would probably do the same if I loved my doctor too. Let me know how things are going. Take care.
  5. I'm new too Terri and I haven't had surgery yet. I'm replacing a lap band with a gastric sleeve. Lots of questions, but confident in my surgeon. I'm following him to Columbus, OH from northern KY!! Keep in touch!

Skin Removal

by Terri Gene on 05-02-2013 at 08:30 AM
I got the OK from the insurance company to have the skin removed off my belly. I cannot wait to have this done (July 15th). I know the surgery and recovery are hard but it will be worth it. I have heard that some insurance companies pay for the removal of the hanging skin on the arms. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield Illinois PPO. Has anyone had the skin removed from their arms and the insurance company pay for it?

Hi everyone. Next month (March 23rd) will be my one year since my surgery. I have lost a total of 100 lbs. so far. In October, I had a hysterectomy and was not able to exercise (workout) for about 2 1/2 months). I am now back to working out but I have not seen any difference in my weight loss. I am stuck at 240 lbs. I don't care what I do or how much I eat or don't eat, I am stuck at this weight. Does anyone have any advise on how to get past this major plateau that I am on?

Why am I stuck at this weight?

by Terri Gene on 09-24-2012 at 02:19 PM
Help, I am stuck at this weight and I can't get off this plateau. This is making me crazy. I have started working out and a club and I am eating about 500-700 calories a day. I have even added a 30gram protein drink box each day. I have lost 81 pounds since my surgery (3/23/12). Does anyone have any views on this? Thanks.

Help, my hair is falling out.

by Terri Gene on 08-30-2012 at 09:44 AM
I am freaking out because my hair is falling out. I cannot believe how thin my hair is now. What do I do? I have lost 78 pounds since March 8th. I have heard that it is because I have lost so much weight so fast and that it eventually will come back. Will it? I am eating protein and taking my vitamins. Is there anything else I can do?
