Topic: Triwest and PS
Can anyone tell me anything about Triwest paying for plastic surgery?Requirements, etc.
I am almost 10 months out and thought I would start the research. I still have 32 lbs. to goal so there is no rush. I just want to start looking around and see what Triwest will pay for.
Thanks for any advice,
Christie

Hi,
Sorry life has been so crazy for you. I don't think you are done. My understanding is that we should continue to loose for up to 2 years. I just got off of my first semi long plateau. It lasted a month. I lost down to -101 and then gained two or three pounds back. It went up and down for four weeks. Then this weekend when I was sure that I had gained because I had been eating quite a bit of sweet stuff (mostly made with splenda) I dropped 5 pounds. I haven't done that in many months. I think our bodies need to take a break from loosing from time to time. Just a rest period or something like that.
The good part of that is hopefully it will help what we have lost to stay off because slow weight loss is better for our bodies. So chin up and don't go on deprevation mode. Your time will come. Remember you have really come a long way and rest periods can be good for you.
Take care

Sorry girls...I haven't been here again for a couple of weeks. Things have been so hectic with working two jobs, now looking for a new full time job, and my folks moving and needing help with that. I'm stressed, overwhelmed, tired...etc., etc., etc....
With that said...I don't know what the heck is going on but I really haven't moved at all in the last few weeks. Up and down is about it...I sit at 108.6 lbs. lost this morning, with no end in sight to this never ending weight battle. I feel like I am giving up and destined to be obese forever. I started out at 359 and this morning I'm at 250.4...up about 1 1/2 lbs. from a couple of weeks ago. we are about 9 1/2 mos. out now, and I have only dropped 6 lbs. since April 7...2 mos. ago today...am I done?

Hello everyone!
I'm down 85 lbs and I'm not taking any medications except for vitamins. I feel great and have a lot more energy.
Size 24/26 to 12/14....I still feel weird when I slip something so small on.
