Tuesday morning weigh in since i missed yesterday......(long)

Good Morning all! Sorry i missed yesterday...life is nuts around here and havent been on much at all... Here are current stats Surgery Weight: 242 Last time I checked in here :138 This morning 134 Lost -4 Total loss 108 Sorry I havent been on lately. Noone ever told me that I was going to have issues with seeing the loose skin on my body. I am having a hard time dealing with it and found out that insurance wont cover a dime. There for I have to come up with the money and for the two things I want done its going to cost about $15,000. I dont have that kind of money and its totally depressing. Anyone else going thru this? Also, I thought once I had this I wouldnt have to deal with losing too much. I never thought i would get this low and now its like if I dont eat I get sick and if I do eat I lose more. Part of me thinks ok time to shut up and get over it but i cant let it go. Any suggestions????? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for letting me vent. Have a great day and hope your all doing well!! Suzette p.s. should have new pics next week ...even the swimsuit one...

I'm stuck at 220. Got down to 216... up to 227 and now I'm settled at 220. I hate what I see in the mirror too. I have been denied for all my plastics consults... I have one that's pending right now, so we'll see if the doc calls me soon. Have you thought about eating more? Maybe you're utilizing ALL those cals for energy that's why your losing while eating. Don't make yourself sick, Sue... that's not a good thing. Start a savings fund- all the loose change. That's what I'm doin'.... good luck chickadee! Jaci

Suzette, First of all CONGRATS on the weight loss That is awesome! I can't wait to see your swimsuit pic! I've added mine but it's from February and I'm already in a new one!! LOL I have hanging skin. I am going to fight the insurance company on it though when I'm done losing weight. I have been told that if you have rashes and documents and pictures that appeals work. I've seen several people appeal and win. Not a complete body lift but a tummy tuck which some is better than none right??? I get sick if I have went long without eating so I have to watch myself. I have zero appetite and never get thirsty. Sometimes it feels as if I have to force myself to eat and drink! My doc says I shouldn't look at it that way but that's exactly how I feel!! No one understands but a fellow RNY'er huh??? I am saying a prayer for you and sorry I missed your post!! But I can't wait to see new pictures!! Maybe you can come for my October get together!!! Hugs, Julie
