Guest guest Posted June 20, 2001 Report Share Posted June 20, 2001 Jodie, That's great!!! I'm glad you're doing well and that Coresource is putting out a new book with accurate benefit information!!! Congratulations!! Anita Pre-op in Denver > Hi everyone. I haven't been around in awhile but I read the digests every few days and try to keep up with what's going on. I thought I'd post my 12 week update today because there are a lot of exciting things going on. First, I have now lost 71 pounds. Yes, 71 pounds in 12 weeks. I started at 325 and I'm now at 254. It is really amazing. I can eat anything I want and feel like a normal person again. My bathroom habits are quite " livable " and my energy is great. My only problem is still the leg cramps that I can't seem to shake. We've tried extra potassium and another prescription for leg cramps and its still not working. Other than that, I've gone down 3 sizes in my work pants and finally fit into store bought bras! I really feel good about myself and I'm no longer taking meds for high blood pressure or high insulin. On the insurance front, I found out yesterday that after the long fight I put up with my insurance company (coresource), they have been forced by my employer to put out a new handbook that no longer has an exclusion for weight loss treatment. I'm very proud of that. I feel like it is a real accomplishment. Anyway, I wanted to update you and say congradulations to everyone who has been approved or switched and for those who haven't yet been, keep fighting, its worth it! If anyone has any questions, please email me privately as I don't get to read as much as I'd like to.
