Hi Jeff Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary! Call your surgeon's office, they can find out for you. My surgeon is going to do my Tummy Tuck and arms. I still have 40 more pounds that I would like to lose, first. As long as you've lost 100lbs or more, most insurances cover the TT's. I don't know what else you want to have done, but call your Dr.'s office and they can find out for you. Good luck! And Happy Rebirthday!!! Jane P.S. If you have a hernia, that helps to get it approved, too.Ask your surgeon if he does the Tummy Tucks. If he does, he can get it approved for you.

Have you mapped out your trip? I haven't posted about the walking "trip" since before my TT because I wasn't sure how much walking I'd be doing, but I just added all my miles together since my first post & I am now in Gaylord. I am now averaging 4-6 miles a day so I think I will make Frankenmuth sooner than I thought. I might have to move my site out a little further. Maybe I'll go home to W.Va. That is 700+ miles. Might take a while. I am going to try to post every week so tally up those miles & LET US KNOW WHERE YOU ARE THIS WEEK. Don't forget to take your water on your walk.....walk, sip, walk, sip.......

Boo Hoo Hoo I cleaned house and took care of my kids since my husband was out of town. Tanya

Hi all, I am officially one year post op and doing great!!! To date I have lost 166 pounds including the 30 that I lost prior to surgery and I feel great. I am four pounds away from being merely overweight on my BMI which is a far cry from Super Morbidly Obese that I started with. Life has brought me so many gifts this last year. I am off all of the serious medications that I was on before surgery and now only take my Synthriod which I have even been able to cut my dossage in half! I take all my vits daily like clockwork. I work out at the gym 6 days a week and just over the weekend took advice from a friend and started to jog!!! Couldn't have done that a year ago!!!! I have gone from a size 32 in womens clothing to a......drummroll please......12!!!!! I still smile whan I look at my new pants in size 12!!!! I still eat mainly protein and stay away from bad carbs. My body does not like bad carbs I have figured because if I eat pasta I will gain 2-4 pounds and it will take me a week to get it off. Soooo not worth it so I stick to protiens and vegies and that works best. Anyway I just wanted to update all of you on my progress and to say thank you to everyone for all of the support I get here on OH. This journey has been long and hard but I would not have made it without the support I get from my family, friends and OH members. God Bless, Tanya 355/325/189/150 highest/pre-op/today/goal

MY fiance and I went to the Grand Traverse Resort for the night...went to dinner at Boones in Suttons Bay, went to the casino, sat in the hot tub & just relaxed. It was awesome!! Kathy
