| Newbie |  Hi all Greetings all! I came across your website and after viewing was very excited to join! You all are right where I am or have been and the encouragement I saw was very cool. I had surgery on August 23rd, 2006 but due to complications  (about a month in the hospital) I am way behind in everything including how much I have lost (about 20 pounds) the scale tells me so but I can not yet see any difference anywhere I was getting discouraged but feel better after reading some of your posts. I look forward to learning more about each of you and I have to say everyone is so upbeat and very good motivators! What a nice way to start my morning! Thanks! |

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.  |

| Super Moderator  | Welcome to the board LouLou. Awww, sorry to hear that you had complications that kept you in the hospital for so long. I'm sure, though, once your body settles down from the bump you had, you will start to lose and be able to see the results very well. It takes some time for you to be able to see the new you, but you very surely will, follow your surgeon's instructions, and trust in yourself and the Big Guy above. ((((((HUGS)))))) May your journey go well.
