Ooo, fingers crossed!! Which insurance do you have? Did the PCM take pictures? Did you keep a log of rashes, etc.? I am trying to do it, but I am not sure if they will accept it unless a doctor has it recorded.

Sarah, I went to your page... it's empty for the most part. If you can put on some pictures of before and what you look like now. It really is helpful to see those reminders. Put a list of goals that you have for yourself, a list of what you couldn't do that you can now. Count your blessings... You may not see the progress you are making so you have to convince yourself that you are making progress. I hold up my clothes now and think there is no way I can fit into that... then I stick a leg in then the other and sure enough it fits. We all have to convince our brain that we are smaller then before. The more you tell yourself that the easier it will become to believe it. You have come so far you should be very proud of yourself. Get out in the community and do some good for others, that always helps. Hang in there... Darla

Nice picture Darla. Congrats on your one year anniversary. Julia

Congratulations on your first anniversary! You have used your tool to the max. Here is to the next year and each thereafter for all us to have success losing whatever number of pounds to reach our goals and for maintaining our weight loss and staying healthy. I hope everyone has had their one year check up with their surgeon and makes one yearly so you can have all those important lab tests to check for any vitamin deficiencies. Don't forget to take your supplements! Just wanted to share, just found out that we should not take any iron at the same time as our calcium. That means any mutivit with iron or iron supplement should be taken a least two hours apart from our calcium to get maximum absorption. To the next year of success! Sher

Good luck Rebecca, I hope every thing works out so you can have the TT. I would like to have one but I'm not having any medical issues with my extra skin. I'm hoping something will develop soon so I can start documenting it...LOL!! Darla
