Hey! am I the only one here?
Hi Stacie!!!! Sometimes I wander the same thing. I'm on the website everyday. I guess everyone is busy with life's many expectations.
Don't feel lonely, I know that there are a number of us who are always around!!!
How have you been doing! I had lap rny on January 10, 2005. I started at 261 pounds and currently am stuck at 147 pounds. I would really like to lose another 20-25 pounds. I'm only 5 feet tall!!! My doctor did tell me that the window for losing was between 12-14 months. But I refuse to believe that I'm done. Don't get me wrong, I really am a new person, both in appearance and am also much healthier. I thank God everyday for giving me this opportunity.
I just had a TT on March 6, and recovering from that procedure. I must say it was a much more invasive type of surgery. It's hard to explain it until you actually experience it. I was hoping to lose another 10 pounds or so, but my plastic surgeon told me that with the loose skin and fat that was liposuctioned, it must have totalled about 5 pounds. I'm not having an arm lift or thigh lift because I form really bad "keloids", (scar tissue) and he felt that I would not be happy at all with what I was going to be left with.
Have a blessed weekend and take care!!!
Aloha, Pat

Hi Pat
How are you feeling about the TT? I keep wondering if this is for me or not. I have to admit that since my gallbladder surgery last month, I am in no hurry to have another surgery. But would you mind sharing what the recovery has been like for you?
I have actually surpassed my weight loss goal and I am finally stable. I am 5' 5 1/2" and I weigh 126. I started at 259. I am very proud of my weight loss and I feel great. I don't have as much loose skin as others, but I don't like my thighs and my sagging butt and breasts.
I do want to know honestly if you feel ps has been worth it and how difficult was the recovery.
Thanks
Dianne
