Topic: New Photo added
I added a new photo at the top of my profile. This is from September. Weight in photo 125 ~ Wearing sizes 2-4. (My hair is just pulled back, I didn't cut it all off). Do I look sickly or too skinny to you? Anyway, this shows my arms and somewhat the chest post ps. What do you think? I'm pretty happy!
Hugs,
Pam

Congratulations on your wow moment. I love it when that happens to me. In fact We had a Military Formal a few weeks ago and Mike's fellow soldiers who knew me prior surgery was telling me how beautiful I was. In fact when Mike was in Iraq one of them said he better watch it or he will take me from him.
I was saying like Hell
but I digress. Good luck with everything. If you need to talk I am here for you.

Congrats to the sexy long legged blonde! I have never heard that and suspect I never will! At least not in this life time!! LOL!! I carry all my weight in my lower half esp. the legs!!! Glad to hear your eating is going better. Good luck with the appeal too. I have my fingers crossed for you. I am doing ok! It is a constant daily struggle to eat right things in right ammounts, drink right things in right ammounts, take my supplements, walk!!! Somedays are better than others. I don't think I have had a perfect day yet. I still haven't weighed myself in months. I have a terrible fear of it! Silly huh? Overall, I feel great though and life has changed for the better for sure! I am nervous to go on an interview for a job I really want on Monday. I have been at my present job for 7 years. I am stagnant and not challanged but comfortable! Change is good but scary to me at times. Hang in there Wendy. ALways nice to read your posts! Diane
Topic: Wow moment!
I was at work last night and because we can wear dress clothes instead of scrubs one night a week, I wore an above knee skirt with tights and a sweater to work.
My husband told me I was "dazzling." and believe it or not--- I got whistled at! Me at 37 years old! LOL! I was also told twice that I was a sexy long legged blond!!
I have never been told I was sexy by anyone other than my husband before!
On a more serious note, I have been dealing with my issues and have been doing good with the eating disorder thing. I haven't been eating the right stuff, but I am not purging either! Of course this means my weight is at a stand still right now, but I am ok with that. I will eventually get to Onederland, I am very close now.
My appeal has reached the insurance company also and I should hear in 30 days about my tt surgery. Hopefully they will cover it.

It can be common to be on a vent for awhile after any surgery if you are heavy or using pain killers. I did not experience this, but was told it could happen before I had surgery. Keep praying and we will too.

Diana,
I don't have any answers but I have heard that sometimes people with sleep apnea have probs with breathing after surgery - especially while receiving the heavy pain killers. Wish I could be of more help....

lots of prayers going up....
