Surgery Round 2

I can't believe it's been nearly four months since I last posted. Not much has changed over that time period. After a post-surgery low of 133 I seem to have stablized at 139. The big news is that I have a date for breast reduction (covered by insurance!) and circumferential abdominoplasty (NOT covered by insurance). I'll be going under the knife on March 20, 2008 - just over two years since my RNY. Hopefully, the combination will help my head and back aches, allow me to exercise more and give me a little push closer to my goal weight. RNY 3/1/2006 218/208/139/115 - 4'11"

Sheryl, It shoulds like you are doing great, Thanks for the update and good luck with your upcoming surgeries. Happy holidays, Rick

Hi Sheryl, wishing you the best through your surgery. Speedy recovery.

HI Sheryl, I wish you the best! Good luck!

Sheryl, Congratulations on your surgery date! You've done so well and these surgeries will help you get closer to your goal. Thanks for the update! Hugs, Stephanie

Take care of yourself Sheryl....congratulations on your great weight loss and our thoughts will be with you as you undergo this surgery. Stephanie Smiles has just been recovering from some plastic surgery...she would be a great resource person for you. Let us know how you do. Barbara

Sheryl, I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery! I had a great recovery time - was back to work at 3 weeks after a LBL. Just be sure to stay on top of your iron and b-12 before surgery and during recovery. My red blood cell count is low after my plastics so I am having to take extra iron to boost it back up. It's taking awhile to do that so maybe if you give yourself a boost before surgery you won't experience the same type of thing. I am happy for you that you are able to take this next step in your journey! Hugs, Robin
