Looking fabulous well done! Can you share any of the challenges you may have had? People seem to suffer from constant burping did you experience that?

Hello!
No I haven't experienced constant burping since I had my sleeve. The only challenge that I had was when I first started to eat chicken and had problems with white meat. That eventually left and now I am able to digest white meat better. I really haven't had any major challenges just working to lose the last few pounds.

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to do another update to let you know that I received my approval letter from my insurance today for my Abdomen Lipectomy and Infraumbilical Panniculectomy. I am so excited because it just two weeks ago that I visited the surgeon and the paperwork was submitted. However, since the surgeon didn't include the fact that I have a ventral hernia that has to be repaired they have to resubmit that to the insurance first. I am confident that all will be well and hopefully I will be at my goal weight by no later than February 2017 so I can go ahead with my surgery. My surgeon said that I should not be trying to lose more weight after the surgery. I said I would upload some before and after photos so you can see how God has blessed me on my weight loss journey. I hope they will encourage you as you move forward to achieve your goal and be a healthier you.
Blessings to you!!!

You have given me hope! We are about the same size you were post op. I'm so proud of you, and wish you luck with your skin surgery! Can you tell me what insurance you have and the requirements for the skin lift, as I will surely have to have it. My breasts and arms are already sagging, and I have a hiatal hernia.

God Bless you!
