Hey, my name is Tiffany, and I too have been feeling pretty depressed
myself.
So far, everything is going great for me. I already had my surgery.
I had the Roux-ny Gastric Bypass Surgery. I’m 22, and the highest
I’ve been was 550 lbs. Before the surgery, I walked and swimmed a
lot. I kept myself active along with watching what I ate. I came
down to 397. I used to have a terrible food binging problem, and was
hardly able to move. Then, I just told myself it’s not worth it. I
almost died from my weight!
After I had my surgery, I still get depressed at times, because now
it’s like I wanna get out in the world! I’m so bored too, I wanna do
some things! Especially now since it’s summertime! I feel so
trapped. But I know I need to wait til’ I get healed. For now, I
just walk everyday/3 times a day.
I can’t answer your question about having a baby. But about your
hair, if you take all your vitamins that is required after the
surgery, you won’t lose your hair. I was afraid of the same thing,
that’s why before my surgery, I went and got a haircut. I had so
much hair anyways….lol
So far, I haven’t heard anyone who have had their tummy tuck covered
by insurance. From what I heard, insurance doesn’t cover tummy
tuck. Which really sucks! This is known to be a hard issue! But it
seems to me insurance should be required to cover it, especially for
someone who really has to lose weight, and a lot of weight to get rid
of.
