Topic: RE: plasict surgery??
I've considered it but from what I can tell its going to be between 4500-10000.  Not something I can afford.  I am going to the doctor on May 5th on my 28th bday and being 14 months out to see if there is anything I can do to tighten the skin with drugs or creams.  I know I need to be drinking a lot more water.  I lost 216lbs in a year but the sagging skin on my stomach is really bugging me.  I know that my insurance won't cover it which is expected.  From what I have heard from some of the guys on the men's forum between year 1 and 2 it tightens up a lot just start drinking a lot more water.  I will post after my doctor visit if there is anything he recommends to help.

I need to buy a new bathing suit, I haven't had one since before surgery, it is way way way too big for me.  I went from a size 48 to a size 34 and from a 4xl shirt to a 1xl shirt.  If it wasn't for the extra skin I could easily fit in a large.  I wish the damn clothing makers would make shirts longer for the tall guys.  I'm 6'4" 210 but apparently I am still 30 lbs overweight.  Going to get that confirmed by the doctor too, I always thought I had a large frame but apparently I have a medium to small frame.

Hello Group of March 2009 :

Congratulations to all of us.  My surgiversary was 03/04/09.  Lost 92 pounds.  So happy that I can walk and breathe at the same time. 

Not sure if I am a slow loser (hypothyroid), maybe I am.

What I am sure of is that my health has improved and that pleases me greatly!

I am thankful to have been given a new lease on life.

Continued success to each and every one of us.

I just realized I lost only 1# each month these last 3 months!  UGH!  However, I have lost 126# now, got my labs in the "normal" range.  I too wanted to be under 200# by now but it will happen.  I got to get in gear though.  Happy One Year Anniversary everyone!  Be proud of what you did accomplish!
