I hear that all the time too ,,,LITTLE DO THEY KNOW that this is only a tool and it works fast and well the first two years.. Now seven years out it still works but not like in the beginning.
I have to exercise every day and WATCH what i eat now closer than ever. The only difference is that I now get full on alot less, HOWEVER , in a couple hours I can eat more so you have to be very careful or a person can become am all day grazer and the lbs come back ..
So, the easy way out theory is bull. Fast quick loss in the beginnning yes, long term we are like everyone else ..

Kim - Love the reply! I bought the magazine last year and thought the same thing, even though I hadn't had surgery yet. This morning the editor and 3 of the featured people were on the Today Show and Matt made mention that none of the people had surgery, they did it the old fashioned way - with hard work! I was thinking, "What the heck?" I think what I do 4 or 5 times a week is hard work ;>)

I just want you to know that there is no need for the "last" talk cause you are tough as nails (Look what family you married into LOL) and you are going to be just fine. I know where you are coming from though because the closer I get the more scared I get too.

Thank you. I thought it was too funny when I found it and just had to have it for my profile.
Topic: RE: Mixed Feelings
ALways something to worry about. All surgery of any kind is dangerous. They all have risk. I never heard anything but bad things when i finally decided to have RNY. I never worried. I was either going to die from surgery or i was going to die from an Obsesity related illness. I have lost 140 lbs and feel great. Would i do it again, YES.

Hi everybody,
Well, all my visits are done, and all my paperwork, notes, everything has been submitted to the surgeon's office. The insurance clerk said you cannot submit for approval on the same day as your last visit so she will do this first thing in the morning and then call me with the news. She was very nice. I know that people drive them crazy with questions and requests, but she was so very sweet to me. She said if I am approved, I could possibly have surgery within a week. I am nervous but excited.
I wonder if BCBS can deny you even if you have done everything they requested and have a BMI of 40 or above. Silly to be worrying about it because there is nothing I can do. I guess I will find out in the morning.
All the negative people have been weighing on my mind....their comments anyway, so on the way to Huntsville today for my appointment, I called my ex-husband and we had a "come to Jesus" talk about our kids. I told him things I wanted him to do personally and things I wanted him to do for our children. I told him I wanted him to treat his wife better than he does because she is a really nice person, and she is very good to our kids. I told him I wanted him to start spending more time at home because life is passing him by. He promised me that our kids would still see their stepdaddy because he is very good to them and loves them a lot too. He cried and said please don't have this done. I said I have made up my mind and I am having it. I said....I feel a lot better since I have talked to you about this stuff because it was on my mind. He always used to tell me to "suck it up" when something upset me or if I cried about something. I said...suck it up....you are not getting rid of me that easy.
Okay, now I am ready for my husband, Tommy, to come home from work because I need a hug. He makes me feel better, even when he doesn't say anything, just makes me feel better when I am around him.
Anyway, will keep all of you posted with any news I get tomorrow.
Thanks for "listening",
Kim
