Default 4 Months Ago Today!

Today is my 4 month surgiversary. All I can say is that even though it happened in August, I got the best Christmas gift ever! This year I can do more than I ever thought possible! Last Christmas was a chore; a burden to get done with because I did not have the stamina to do much of anything. What a difference the whole year has made! I am no longer a prisoner in a body that was dictated by food! It no longer has that power over me; now, I choose IT, properly, nutritionally and gratefully! It also seems that along with the weight, my "walls" are coming down, rapidly so. Oh, everything is not all rainbows and unicorns; I still have the same emotional battles as before; and now some new ones...I just know how to better handle them now. I am able to feel emotions and not hide from them, but embrace them and make better decisions in my life, because I'm not in a sugar-induced stupor! Everyday is a new adventure, no matter how bad things seem, and I can't wait to get up everyday to see what happens next. Dr. G, the best bariatric surgeon in the world, I don't know if you ever check out this site, but you, along with an incredible group of people, have given me my life back! I have to say that it is among one of the best gifts I ever received! Thank you so much, and thank God for letting me be one of the lucky ones!!

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.
