Can you believe it has almost been 2 years!!??  I have been approved recently for my panniculectomy, hoping to get a surgery date soon. I am going to also have a TT at the same time, that I am paying for out of pocket.

Let's hear it for PS! I'm finished with what I can do ($$) and can bear (recovery for LBL was looongg).  Hope you're as pleased with the TT as with WLS!

I had the tummy tuck one year ago, on my one year anniversary.  Best thing I ever did, besides having the original surgery, open r-n-y.  I also had to pay...worth every penny.  I went down a pant size, clothes look so much better.
Good luck!!!

Two years already. After two years of complaining about my stomach bloating like I never lost my stomach a CT Scan that they should have done when I first started complaining two years ago indicated that I have a small bowel problem. So on my official two years I will most likely be under the knife as they are wanting to open me up the correct the problem. OOH! The only thing he said that was good is that he will give me a tummy tuck during the procedure. I am scared but he said it has to be corrected.

Praise report: Two years of changes...I am no longer 292 lbs. I got down to 183 only to go back to 203. I am still happy because I look good. I finally wear a size 14 comfortably. I pull more men then ever before and it is good to say I am married and turn them down. I can cross my legs. I am a figure 8 and loving it. Hips Baby Hips! Soon I will be a mommy as I now know I can have kids even when they told me I couldn't. I lost my baby in Dec but God is still good. I heard my baby's heartbeat before I lost her after 10 years of trying with my husband. God is Good! Still trying and hopefully we will be successful again in 09. Last but not least...the water in the bath tub all drains out at one time instead of a pool of bath water being trapped behind my behind because my butt and hips were too wide. Weight loss is a wonderful thing.

Do you ever wonder how you let yourself get to the largest size that you have been?

Happy Day  2007 Junesters!

2 years also for me on the 25th.  Almost forgot the date.  I'm now half the woman I used to be.  Started at 333, now 163.  Blood work all normal, probably due to me dedicatedly taking all my vitamins.  Doc said I've lost 97% of my excess weight, and I'm happy with that.  Need to do more moving...it will help with the stress of the job.

But I have discovered this is another side to life that I didn't know existed.  I now enjoy dressing and looking professional at my job, where hefore as long as I was in clean clothes it was okay.  Now the hair gets done daily, jewelry selected, shoes go with outfit, etc.  Two years ago it seems I became a GIRL.

No medical issues except headaches lately, which could be tension/migrain type.  Working on keeping those at bay!

No plastics yet, though I can see I will want some.  Anyone just a little afraid after watching those shows on TV performng them?  They scare me!

Congrats to all of you on your successes!
