Talking Marci....

....Thanks sooo much for sharing EVERYTHING! It's sooo important, as you go thru this journey, that you be real....real with your story....real with your feelings....real with the details of your journey.

Everyone is different...everyone looses at different rates....has a different experiences....and ya know...I've learned a lot. Even though we have different experiences - someone has or will have a similar situation...and you will be of great comfort....or help.

I truely believe that this is part of our purpose...we move thru life...and we have a choice whether to use our experiences to help others...or we can sit and wallow as a victim. YOU, my dear....are a CHAMP!!! You are choosing to "put YOUR story out into the world...." you are being honest....you will help someone with your story.

Thanks for your authenticity...you are an amazing woman on an amazing journey....soooo glad you are ok...and recovering...getting back into the "normal" of life....and LOSING. You are doing a great job....

Now....for business....where are your before and afters??? com'on....BEAR THEM....we want to see you....also, got any funny 'alien' TUBED UP'd pictures??? COME ON GIRL....don't hold out on us!!

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

I had a doctor's appointment today and he was so happy with how things are going now. (me too) He moved me up to pureed/soft foods for the next two weeks, then can start regular foods. He said that with my previous problems, I am at more risk for a stricture, but if it happens we will deal with it. I am feeling so good now and am getting to the point that with even all the post-op complications I am happy that I had the surgery. It's exciting to see the scale move down and have lots of energy again!

Wannabe, good hear both you and your dr are happy.
I hope you don't develop strictures, but even if it does, both you and your dr are careful about it, so I'm sure you'll be able to have it taken care of without much trouble.
As for tech jobs, go to FAQ in the navigation bar right above the banner pics, or check out the Tech Question sub-forum, and you'll find pointers there.

Glad your doing better. Sounds like you had a rough time starting out. I think its great you shared your story. For those who are looking into the surgery need to hear that there are complications and that you deal with them as you go.
