Just checking to see how the June buddies are doing?

Halloween is almost here and the thought of the candy in the house is never racking. I am not going to get it until closer. I was wondering did any of you develope a hernia? I had 2 of them and had them taken care of on Sept 25th 07. They had to open my old RNY scare and do it that way so.. There I was with 25 staples again. Yikes. Oh well its getting better. I got denied for plastics and thought with having the 2 hernias that would of helped but oh well. Just wanted to check in ans see how everyone was doing. I am down 137 pounds and enjoying life. Take care, Debbie Miers 299/162 6/20/06 open RNY

I havent had any complications since surgery In August I had a burning pain in what felt like my old stomach that turned out to be stress related acid relux... a few days of prevacid cleared it up and I have been fine since.. thats really been the only things. The company I worked for closed so I lost my BCBS insurance (which I loved) now I am getting ready to start with Cigna... and the plan excludes any and everything relating to WLS - all my follow ups and plastics... its hard to be on such a crappy plan after comming from such a great one. I am down 134lbs total, 98lbs since surgery... I am 1lb below my personal goal and still plan on losing a little more weight. I want to hit 100lbs lost since surgery mark as well as give myself a some wiggle room incase that 10% regain hits me... the highest I can weigh for my weight and be a normal BMI is 157 so I am aiming for 150 currently... the lowest I would go is 145 (PS said I shouldnt weigh less than that because I would be reaaaaalllyy small after surgery... I dont want to be a twiglet!!). Thats pretty much about it... its amazing what changes the past 1.4 years have brought and I am loving every minute of it!
