Hi Rachael, Congratulations! Good for you! Sorry I can't help you with any of your questions, I am still waiting for my surgery date. Have a super holiday! Pam

I am so proud of you! I had my surgery the day after you (8/24) but I am know where near a 100 pound loss. So you should be very proud of yourself no matter what anyone thinks you look like. My start was 266 and now I am @ 201 sometimes 199 depending on the time of day. I am really depressed about it thinking some thing is wrong with me. I too have the same hanging skin between the thighs and under the arms. Well again keep up the good wor****ep me posted on your plastics and how it goes for you. Debbie

The one I am most thrilled with is my collar bone. I haven't seen that one since 1984! LOL!

Rachael, yes, I'm discovering bones as well...and it's a lot to take in. Congrats on your weight loss...you're doing wonderfully! -Kelli 255/170/150
