Thanks for reply. I won't be having the surgery. I was denied by insurance company due to no 2 year weight history. Prior to getting pregnant (over 2 years ago) I didn't have insurance, so I had not...

I know finding the right one requires trial and error. I found Jay Robb and have never looked back.

Anyway, I just wanted to mention that while you're trying different protein drinks, check out...

I don't think they will deny you for losing weight from things you learn from the nutritionist. I thought the same thing- that it was a trick. I'd lose weightand the insurance company would be like...

I'm a single mom and as I'm sure you know, life doesn't stop when you have a toddler! Hopefully I can get my parents to help.

Is your 3 year old semi self- sufficient? Like, helping getting...

I guess my #1 concern is a leak. I asked my surgeon how long it would be until I was completely "in the clear" and a leak wouldn't be a concern. He said about a week. Um, no. I've read on here and...

...I typed that on my phone. I apologize for my auto correct changing the tense of everything. I just noticed all of the "-ed"s added.

This question might be hospital-specific, but are kids allowed to visit? I have a 16mo old baby and it will be so hard to be away for that long!

I haven't had surgery yet, but I always wondered if excess skin removal would ever be covered. I was hoping to hear about more approvals. Oh well, I guess I'll eventually have to start a boobie...

Do you watch Shark Tank in tv? Someone in there had stick-on facelift things.

This is awesome- thanks everybody!

This is great- thank you!

Thank you so much for this. It's also a concern of mine.

Prepare, prepare, prepare. This forum is a great resource.

I was worried about this as well. Yikes!

This is my worst fear realized! The honesty is appreciated.

I wish I could add an hour to the day for ya! Not helpful, I know...but my heart goes out to ya!

Great!

The nutritionist I met with said I need to see her 4 more times and with a staff physician once. She made out a "nutritional plan" I'm supposed to follow and the goal is to lose a certain % of excess...

I can't find anything online about Dr...

I'm going there for my consultation today. Wish I could be more helpful.
