No Longer Qualify!

Welp I made it. 1 year and 3 days out from WLS and as of this morning I no longer qualify for Weight Loss Surgery in any way shape or form. I qualified originally because I had a BMI over 40. I had no co-morbidities. Today I have a BMI of 34.9 and that makes it ( by my insurance at least *grin*) a no go if I wanted to get WLS today. Scary to think that at 211 ( yesterday) if I had 2 co-morbidities I would have qualified for WLS (had to be a BMI of 35). I don't think at this current size I could have gone through with it. My highest BMI was 71.1 and Pre-Op I was 62.9. I never thought I would get here. I spent so many years being H U G E and a "shoe in" for having WLS that its strange almost to think that if I walked in today I wouldn't qualify in any way shape or form lol. Anyways its a WOW day for me. I was teased with 210 for weeks now. UP and DOWN , UP and DOWN so it was a pleasant surprise to see 210 on the scale scale this morning. Even more shocking is that I am SOOOOOOOOOOO CLOSE to 199. Thanks for reading. *huggles* Felicia =0)

WTG Felicia!!!!! Congrats to you girl!! What a fantastic WOW moment!!! All your hard work and dedication is paying off. BTW, I LOVE the upbeat feel of all your posts. You seem super happy and I am loving it for you!! Hugs, Susan

Aw Thank you SO MUCH!!! Yup its a biggie (in my book at least lol). Not much has me negative these days. Only have room for upbeatness ( is that a word? LOL). I am very happy, freezing ( its going to snow today or tomorrow here) but HAPPY! *BIG HUGS* Hope you are doing well and enjoying your new home!! Felicia =0)

SNOW?!?! It was in the upper 80's here over the weekend...unusually warm for NW PA....do, did it snow?? Hugs, Holly

Nope didn't snow ( although about an hour from us got several feet) rained quite a bit. My roses are LOVING this weather. Our high for the last couple of days has been in the 40's. We are supposed to get back up in the 60's for the rest of the week though. I LOVE IT! I hate summer. Hate the heat. I have got more done since it cooled off then I did alllll summer long lol. WOW 80's! YUCK crazy weather. ew That is AC weather in my book lol. Glad we wont see anymore of that stuff. *huggles* Felicia =0)

40's?!? Oh my goodness!!! I hate the heat and humidity put together, but the sunshine I just love!! On Saturday, my husband and I went into the woods and walked for 5 miles carrying wood to his tree stand for hunting season! I was so proud of myself! Last year at this time, I would have died 1/4 of the way!! It is absolutely gorgeous right now -- sunny but not too warm! I don't mind snow, I just like when the roads and stuff get all yucky! Hugs, Holly

OMGosh thats awesome!! isn't it amazing what we can physically do now that we wouldn't have even tried before due to KNOWING we couldn't do it lol. We have a HUGE maple hedge around our acre property. The WHOLE thing needs to be trimmed and thinned and this year I am actually looking forward to doing it!! I love working in the yard in the spring and fall lol. Luckily its pretty summer friendly as I don't have much out there to take care of during the hot months. That will change but I am hoping my tolerance for heat changes to lol. I am with you with the snow. We normally do not get much snow so winters are pretty easy here but I would love it if it snowed snowed snowed but just not on the roads lolol. Think Mother Nature would swing that for us? LOL *huggles* Felicia =0)
