Thanks for sharing the photos. I have seen the PS for the TT consult and she thinks that I will get approved and take care of my folds with it. I just hope to get it done before November when my insurance changes again. -Gerriann 170 pounds gone forever! and lovin it!

Christine Thanks for your reply. We did a lot of vegging (is that a word?!) out on the cruise. My husband and I both read a lot and we found a great spot on the back of the ship and spent a lot of time reading, getting some sun and relaxing. I needed some down time as June was crazy for me. I left on June 6 to go to camp with the junior high kids from our church. We were at Baylor University for 5 days. We got home on June 10 at 4:00pm and 8 hours later I got on another bus at midnight to go to Panama City, Florida with the high schoolers from our church for their camp. We got home early Thursday morning the 17th. We left on the 19th for the cruise. I spent those two days at home doing laundry and getting our boys situated to be home alone for the week. They're 17 and 16 years old but still need Mom to take care of them (or so I like to think). Our 13 year old daughter went to stay with my sister so she was taken care of. Anyway, the down time was much needed. Time to get back to the real world. Melissa

Your TT looks great!! You are so pretty I hope you continue to do well! Keep posting updated pics. I am scheduled for 9/22 for a LBL, with muscle tightening, and hernia repair, brachioplasty, breast lift, and medial thigh lift. I am so excited, and hope to lose 5 more pounds before then. I know I can do it, I have just about 3 months. How was the pain? Tricia 247/135/130

Hey folks. I seen my TT surgeon today and she removed 1 of the tubes. Was a bit of a sting when it came out but I am glad to get rid of it. I have 1 more to go and I hope it will be gone by next Monday God willing. Here is a link to my photo book you can see the updated pics of the TT on the After TT album the newest ones are near the bottom. You can see how drastic the change is from the first pic. There is still alot of swelling but I am totally happy. There are more pics in the various pic album of me just being me and happy finally. I am trying to keep my log detailed for those getting ready to go thru this. I wish I had something like this to look at so I hope my honesty and openess in this issue guides some other people. Love ya'll NAT http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?username=natttpics

Hey Stacey, I too have a fractured tailbone but I don't think that is your problem. Have you been keeping up with your calcium? Maybe you might need a bone scan. I hope the doc's find out what the problem is and fix it. Cheer up you pic is beautiful and you have done a wonderful job. Keep up the good work. Hugs, Christine 307/167/150
