Topic: RE: Roll Call January 2004!!!
Happy New Year to all. I had a lap RNY on May 28, 2003 by Dr. Robert Bell at Yale and am down 108 pounds from 264 to 156. From 17 1/2 shirt to 14 1/2, 54" pants to 34" and from 2x shirts to medium. I have about 16 pounds to go. Istill can't believe it. THis is the first New Years that loosing weight is not my resolution. What a wonderful thing this is.

Topic: RE: Plastics Anyone?
When I first went into "this" ... I thought I'll just be happy with losing weight! Little did I know that I would look just like an old balloon that all the air has slowly crept out of.
UGH!!
I probably won't ever be able to do anything about it, but IF I could - I'd have my face done (so the world will THINK I'm youthful!), and I'll have my boobies put back on my chest (no more wearing them around my waste), I'd have the saggy stomach cut away. The elephant 'behind' that is really my upper thighs will have to be stretched UP and tacked into place! I thought "bat wings" was the figment of some of the WLS folk's imagination ... well, I've been "imagining" the same thing with my upper arms. And of course I can't see it so good, but I suspect the old rumpus is hanging a might lower than it should.
Yup ... lots of work to do. No money to work with and I don't think I'm 'bad enough' that I'll get rashes or anything so insurance will probably scoff if I ask. So - I think I'm gonna live the rest of my life as a prune.
What is they say about women starting to wear purple when they get older? Pruney will fit right in with that someday!

It looks lilke everyone has done so well!! I'm down from 254 to 174, from a size 22 (tight) to a loose 12. Every time I zip up a pair of pants I'm amazed! Life is good!
Topic: RE: my wildest dreams have come true
Jennifer! Good for you! I feel the very same way. I still have about 50 lbs to go, but am thrilled if I stayed here forever! What more could we ask for.
Topic: Plastics Anyone?
So what do you think of plastics? what kind do you want if you could and how will you pay for it? Personally I'll try for insurance... then if that doesn't work... will save up and go to some medical school and have them do some cheaper... that way if insurance won't foot the bill. I do have a hernia. I know the TT and breasts is the first wish for.... arms and thighs will probably be my responsiblity tho. What about anyone else??
