I have been on a loooong weight loss journey. I did WW three times and never ever got to my goal weight. I had 3 children, was diagnosed with a non life threatening disease and had a lot of personal issues. Finally I met someone who helped me. He was fantastic, and I have managed to lose 50 lbs which is more than I have ever lost before. I am still losing, I feel awesome and the people that I call my accountability partners keep my spirit up. Glad to find a forum like this to share my story. I would like to support other people who are stuck

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.

WONDERFUL!! Welcome to RR...This is probably the BEST weight loss place on the net...because of the people just like you who are willing to reach out and support others rather than berate them when they stumble!!

When I first got on here I was getting ready for surgery (twice...that's a long and strange story in itself...trust me) through following "amended" pouch rules (I wanted to commit as many of the changes I would need to make after surgery, before surgery, so that afterwards, I would be able to focus on healing and the changes wouldn't come as such a shock) Between "living the life" waiting for WLS, and the support that I've gotten here, I've lost enough that I no longer qualify for surgery, but still hang around, as I still have about 30 lbs to go, and I absolutely LOVE the people on here, a lot of them are very important friends of mine

In short...you'll come to love it here!!! Welcome!

Congrats on getting into the special club. Yes I am Canadian I like putting that in my sig so it stands out a little. Better than calling myself patsy beaver
I can not have surgery, so am losing it on a very strict program and it seems to be working so far. I tried WW, and several other unconventional ways but happy so far but it is a long process but at least I am not gaining

Well...I started out the same height as you (not that that part will change! LOL) but at a higher weight with enough determination and due care, I know we can do it!! (that is not knocking the brave souls who've done WLS, they're all my heros and I REALLY wouldn't be where I am without them!!)

LOL @ Patsy Beaver...I can see the wisdom ion the choice you've made!!

Wow, I'm amazed at the positive attitudes and the will power, so many stories of strong, successful women out there! I'm even more excited to get started on really, truly losing the weight gained from medications. Thank you one and all!
