I feel your pain! Is there a councelor for your bariatric program?

I am having my own issues and I am going to see a councelor soon. Good Luck!

Congrats! You are making great progress :) We are military as well and I was wondering if you had any tips as to how to get TriCare to pay for plastics. I have seen the surgeon but am unsure if they will pay for my TT. I would love to get my arms done as well, but didn't think they'd cover it. Any suggestions? THANKS!

Hey Kimi! Congrats on your success so far! I have been struggling as well for months. I had surgery on 5/9/09 and I have lost 50 pounds and want to lose 50 more to get to goal. I feel as if getting to goal is out of reach for me. I have had alot of adjustments, both up and down and as of now I have only slight restriction. I feel great and better than ever, but I feel stuck. How have you been doing since you posed this a few months ago?

Topic: RE: One Year Surgiversary!!!

Congrats to you! I am almost one month ahead of you and I also have lost 50 pounds and would like to lose 50 more to get to goal. I am having a real hard time getting off a plateau I've had for months. I feel great and I'm happy to have lost 50, but I would really like to get to my goal, but it seems so out of reach. Do you have any advice/experience to share? Thanks! :)

Congrats on your success! My 1 yr was May 13, and as of today I've lost 139.5m, roughly - did you hit a plateau around your 1 year? I was stuck at 150 for quite some time (over a month) though I was doing all the same things. My body did shrink quite a bit, but I hadn't hot a plateau like that in a while - I was beginning to think that was it, but now the scale is moving again....

Pat yourself on the back - you've done something tremendous here - keep up the good work!
