When I went in for my last check up my doctor told me to go ahead and start checking into finding a doctor for TT surgery...Sooooooooooooo..... I know I am only 8 months out but my doctor seems to think I will only lose another 10-15 pounds. For these of you who are on Tenn-Care Select, I have found a doctor in Davidson **** who will take our insurance for TT. Of course the surgery must be for medical reasons, but give it a try......Dr. Patikes or Dr. Hueneke... the phone number is 615-327-0303. The lady which answered the phone was very nice. So I go April 5 and will soon find out if I can get anything done. Wish me luck. I started at 288, down to 153 and would like to end up 135-140. This whole thing has been like a dream, a good one at that. Because I have done so well, my husband now has an appointment with my doctor for gastric surgery and will see her the same day I see about TT. So it should not be too long before he will be down to a nice size also. Good luck to all and give the doctor a call. The sooner the better. Karen RNY6-30/288-154-145 soon

Congratulations! Welcome to the club, it is the best feeling ever to lose 100 pounds. All my best, Kathy

I know that somedays I want to eat more and the last 2 days have been like that for me. I have been trying to make good choices but it is hard not to just grab a bag of chips. Courtney 5'9" RNY 6-22-04 300/188/165

Hi Laura, I am 9 months out, and also have bat wings and legs like cottage cheese. I have looked into plastic surgery I have about 15 more pounds to go to be at my goal weight. I was told that they can do a bat wing & leg fat tuck, they literally cut the excess fat away and stitch you up, they do the scars on the inside of legs and under the arm. The insurance companies will not pay for this. It is rather costly about $8,000 including overnight in the hospital. I hope this helps. by the way my name is Rose. Good luck in your ventures you have come a long way.
