Smile My BIG anniversary
Hi, ya'll. 1st time posting; this is a big day ...celebrating 1st anniversary since rou-n-Y. If i toot my own horn a tiny bit can somebody please simply think the thought "good-work" ? can anyone else relate to a statement about the extreme hard work of the 1st year following WLS? I am personally encouraged given the satisfaction of having weathered this year so well. The short & sweet version follows...currently down 106 lbs; off HTN, asthma meds & no more CPAP (woo-hoo!!!) I can't do the horizontal splits nor can I single handedly wrestle an alligator but then I never aimed to become a super hero; just a healthier version of me. Breathing easily is far better than anything I've ever tasted or was gifted. Admittedly, still have a way to go. Goal weight 45lbs away. As far as my health status is concerned, I'm already a winner, even without reaching my goal wt. Yes, WLS is expensive, serious & potentially life threatening, & because of that it isn't for everyone. It's a long process via necessity (in a myriad of ways). From where I type tonight, it has been worth every phone-call, key-stroke, insurance letter, worried second, dollar & penny invested. Over 2 yrs ago, gasping & sweating, I barely fit into the largest seat they had in the seminar room at my bariatric physicians clinic; I was desperate for help & a real solution. Sadly, I had almost given up on enjoying my life or myself. Tonight, on the exact eve of my 1st anniversary of the newer, healthier version of me, I am pleased to report on this forum that sometimes the big gals get to win-so, hurray for us this time.

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.

Congratulations!!!
I see you deserve the Century Club tag.
So. You need to correct your profile.
Go to UserCP in the nav bar above, and click on Edit Your Detail. Scroll down to where the height and weight data are, and fill in the numbers of your Start Weight--the weight you were just before surgery. Then When you fill in this area, the data will correct itself, and your Century Club tag should come up as well.
