04/28/2007 I wanted to update. The insurance company needs to speak to my pcp but he has been on vacation and is coming back at the end of this week. I done all my pre-admission testing yesterday and everything is set for my surgery for May 9th, I am just crossing my fingers that everything goes smoothly with the insurance approval. The insurance told me to go and plan everyting so I am keeping a postive thought of the approval. 04/30/2007 I am APRROVED!!!! I heard from the insurance today and my day is set for May 9th. I am so excited. I have been just thinking about how I may look 3,6,9 months from now. 05/06/07 I only have three days until my surgery. I am so excited. I am on a liquid diet. I am weighing 273, and I am hoping to get to 269 before I have the surgery. I bought a treadmill today so I can start shortly after my surgery. I will write again to let you know how surgery went. 05/11/2007 I had my surgery on 5/09 and it went very good. I came home from the hospital today and I feel good. I am weighing 270 right now. 05/16/2007 I am 1 week post op. I feel really good. I am not hungry at all. It is very hard to drink my protein and get my 64oz. of liquids in. I weigh 262, I have lost 8 pounds in one week. 01/01/2010

It has been awhile since i have updated, I am still losing weight, but alot slower, and i have been hungry and eating more then i had been. I am weighing 180 pounds now and feel great!!
As been almost 2 yrs since i last posted or visited this site. I had a tummy tuck 19 months ago. i have gained some weight back and weigh between 162-170 pounds. I am very stressed of fat on my thighs and arms and it brings me down and i have come so far and want to work hard to lose 20 pounds that i have gained throughout the last year and to feel better about myself. its newyears and i guess this is my new yrs resoultion.
