[mywlsjourney]

OK...I am a HUGE geek..this video was from a LONG time ago, LOL!!!!All I saw was todays date and then saw a recent video and you disappeared, very small now :) Ignore my last comment..I am such a loser, LOL, hehe!!!

I didnt make any videos before my gastric bypass surgery. This is reminding me of my pre surgery struggles and making me motivated to not ever be back in this place!!! I was right where you were too as far as frustrated over slow weight loss or no loss at all despite following all the rules. I needed something drastic too.

i loathe the word fatty i think id have to beat my bf's ass if that was the word he used to describe obese people hehe u know thats not the first time ive heard of people dropping large amounts of weight from not drinking pop...guess we'll find out huh

[youwantgeek]

Hahah, yeah, I'm not a big fan of the word, either! But it's better than fatass, I guess.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I can't believe I'm just now finding your channel.

Thanks Dena! I'm VERY surprised I hadn't run into your channel until now, either! I'm in the process of checking out all of your videos :)

Wow, I thought that all insurance companies covered this surgery! Or at least that's what I've been hearing from other youtubers! That stinks a lot!!

[youwantgeek]

Yeah, it pretty much stinks! The decision to not cover it was ultimately my employer. They have the ability to review exclusions on a case-by-case basis since they have a self-insured plan. They decided not to unfortunately.

My health insurance does not cover WLS either. I've pretty much decided that it's not for me, anyway, but I am super supportive of those who do have it done.

I wish you much luck! You are very pretty and a good speaker, I look forward to seeing more of your news. We are in same boat (waiting on insurance to decide if they will pay).

[youwantgeek]

Thank you for the kind words! As far as being a good speaker, I think I sound like a huge dork! I really hope that your insurance comes through for you. Let me know if they don't! I'm self-pay now so I might have some info that would be beneficial!

[lumberdung]

geeks rule!!!! i will be watching you with great hopes.

[youwantgeek]

They do rule, don't they? Thanks for the encouragement!
