Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass   |  Edie and some of you struggling (newbies) Ok so I will tell Edie what I want but 1st for all you new people out there that are comparing yourself to your surgery buddies or someone who had surgery close to you...QUIT...lol...I tell you this because my dear friend Edie and I had surgery really close together. She had major complication and 2 strictures...She was so bummed becaue I was ahead of her in the weightloss and she had her surgery a week before I did and I was 10 pounds ahead of her, we have been like that the whole time, Well my sweet friend is now only 4 pounds away from me and she is PREGNANT  . I am so happy for her and have beeen proud of her from the start. The moral to the story is this.....you may not be losing as rapidly or as much as your buddy but in the end you will all end up in the same place...at goal.Edie this is where its for you, I am so proud of you girl you have done an amazing job, and look we are only 4 pound different, before you know it you will be with me and we'll both be at goal |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | OH BECKA THIS SURE MADE ME SMILE THIS MORNING!!!!!!!!!! BUT THIS IS SOOOOOOOOOOO TRUE TO ALL YOU NEWBIES WHO LIKE TO COMPARE YOUR STATS TO OTHERS. ME AND BECKA NOT ONLY HAD OUR SURGERY ABOUT THE SAME TIME BUT WE ALSO STARTED AT THE SAME WEIGHTS. (because the heavier you are the more you will lose in a short period of time) AND I ALWAYS USED TO SAY WHAT AM I DOING WRONG. BUT AFTER A WHILE I ACCEPTED IT AND ALWAYS PAID ATTENTION TO BECKA'S STATS TO KNOW I HAVE A NEW NUMBER TO LOOK FORWARD TO. BECAUSE ANYTIME HER WEIGHT WOULD CHANGE SO WOULD MINE. WE WERE ALWAYS EXACTLY 10LBS DIFFERENT. BECKA HUN LIKE I SAID YOU SURE MADE ME SMILE THIS MORNING THANK YOU!!!! I CANT WAIT TILL NOT ONLY WE MAKE GOAL BUT WE DO OUR TUMMY TUCKS. I HOPE YOU AND I DO IT AROUND THE SAME TIME!!!!! THAT WOULD BE GREAT THEN WE CAN LOOK AT EACH OTHER AGAIN FOR SUPPORT. IM SO GLAD YOUR MY WT LOSS TWIN!!!! WHO COULD ASK FOR A BETTER SISTER  WE ARE BOTH DOING GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NOT THAT IM TRYING TO LOSE RIGHT NOW, LOL SINCE IM PREG)

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thanks Guys. Edie I know you arent trying to lose but its falling off anyways I am glad your my surgery sister too. Jeane I changed my goal because with this recent gain I realize that I may just gain back 10-15 pounds when I reach maintenance phase, and I am happy where I am but dont want to be bigger then this. So I want goal to be 115 then if I gain its not too bad |

| I know we shouldn't compare but sometimes it is hard not to. Especially when you are feeling depressed. I still have not lost more yet but I am feeling more like myself and not looking at the scale to much right now.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I am really bad at comparing. It is just that everyone who is at the same stage as me has lost over 100 lbs and here I sit still under 100 and almost a year out. I dont get it I try really hard but it seems to just keep hanging on. Thanks for the pep talk though hopefully I can take it to heart and realize that I will get there when I am suppose to.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Very wise words! I try very hard to not look at the stats for anything other than to see how others are doing. But it is always there in the back of your mind aye.
