Hard to imagine that in a couple weeks my new life will begin ( October 25, 2012). My only hopes is to be successful. You look amazing!!!
Thanks babe, how's it going for you? Welcome to the Life of a Sleever!
How long after your surgery did you go back to work.
I work from home, but a friend of mine went back to work after a couple weeks. With me, my surgery was horrible and excessive because I had my gall bladder taken out too.
Thanks for the info I'm really happy. I had surgery Nov 20, 2012, starting weight was 296 my weight today is 245. I'm so happy and everything went great.
where did you get it done? i know your insurance paid 90 % and you 10% do you know what the total was? also was it hard getting there?
i listed where I got it, the total i paid is listed as well above and it wasn't hard working with my hospital... but you do need 6 month weight loss attempt.
Congrats! I'm thinking about doing this because like you I'm 5'1 and 244 lbs,trying to get clothes that aren't made for tall people. Good luck with your journey. :)
You are just a little heavier than me, but same height :) You will be glad that you did it. I'm now at 165 lbs. I have about 20 more to go!!!
Good luck in your journey boo!!

Youtube video channel: atldymeztamikaa (yes with two a's) Soooo, hey everyone! I am 5'1 and 225lbs... this height and weight, my BMI is 41. I have high cholesterol, but not many medical problems. I do have alot of physical problems though! My knees hurt, my back, I get tired SUPER easily and when I walk (on flats) my feet even start to hurt! Sex has become more of a hassle (can you imagine?) and dancing? Dancing makes me feel like I am running a 5k. This is ridiculous!

I will be turning 29 on August 26th and do NOT want to go into my 30's looking like a baby whale. Although I do feel sexy at times, I have the HARDEST time finding clothes to fit me. NOT because I am big, there are plenty big girl clothes, but because I am BIG and PETITE! The nerve of me right. Sooo, after months of trying to get surgery with Peachtree Bariatrics in Atlanta (tragic fail, do NOT go there) I have found a great team at Emory Bariatrics working with Ms. Tracy Greene.

Right now my surgery is scheduled and the insurance company has already approved it (I'm with United Healthcare) and I am excited that I have to pay 10% only, insurance covers 90%.
