18 month check up (little early)

Hello
I went for my check up and I am 227 on his scale which I was 244 on his scale 5 months ago so to me that is awesome!!!
My surgeon is very happy with my progress!!
We discussed the tummy tuck with the hernia repair. It is going to cost me and arm and a leg but he say looking at the skin and feeling it there is 25-30 pounds of skin that will be removed!!!
I am so excited that will put me around my personal goal!!!
I have been feeling like I was not losing enough but then after today I am really happy because my weight left is in hanging skin. I need my thighs done but that will be about 2 years before I can afford that. I will be paying this forever!!

So I am scheduled for my tummy tuck on Oct 22!!!! I am so excited I can't even describe the happiness I feel right now!!!

While I was in the office one of his employees was working who he did a tummy tuck on 2 weeks ago and she ooked amazing! she just had the 2 drain taken out that day and she was back at work 1 week later. She had had 3 c sections so her line was a little higher than bikini but WOW it look amazing for only 2 weeks old!

OK I am super super excited!!!

Good for you, Dee. I am too chicken to do my surgery yet. How much is this gonna cost? I need to be prepared. Did you see Geri? How is she?

Geri wasn't there she was sick but her daughter works there now and she was the one who had her tummy tuck done 2 weeks ago it looks amazing!!! He took some new training in buenos aries I know missspelled . He said the way he does it you get 2 drains and you wont get the doggie ears.
 
I am scared but I am so sick of running and stopping because the skin hitting my thighs. Or the fact that my skin hangs on my legs and makes my legs go numb.  I am also excited that he thinks there is almost 30 pounds of skin! That will put me in the 100s I have not been there since september 5th 1998 (when I met my husband) And grade school before then!

Dee,
Can I ask you the xcost of the tummy tuck and hernia repair?/

I honestly didn't talk the prices. I have carecredit so I am having to charge it and then my insurance will pay a certain amount . I was so happy that I was getting it done I didn't even talk price. I know the hernia repair is 6453.00 and didn't you say the tt was 5000? I guess I should probally find out though huh?

I am so glad for u to get a tummy tuck the doc wants me to get to 170 before having a tummy tuck seems like I will never get there but then again all my fat that is left is in my tummy.. eek!!!!!!!!

I will go in sept 23 and figure out if i have a prayer on getting it done now..
