i started out at 275 LB and have gone down to 145 to 140 up and down. i have stayed there for about a month now. my goal weight is 135 i am 5' 6'' . the doc said he would be taking off about 10lbs. of skin. yuck! i went to the plastic surgeon about 3 1/2 weeks ago. he took some PICS and wrote a letter and with in 3 days I was approved for a TT. I have had 3 c sections and after my first baby I weighed 93 lb. and I still had hanging skiing on my belly. It now hangs down about four inches below my privets. my insurance Aetna is paying for the hole thing. i had different insurance when i had the bypass. i had keystone health plan then. i was approved for an over night stay in the hospital. my doc said that was unusual for a TT. as for the pain, like i said i have had three c sections. my second baby was born with rett syndrome he was like a new borne baby his hole life (he died 3 years ago 9/9/01) i had his sister 2 1/2 years after him he weighed 45 LB at that time. and the day i came home after having my c section i was picking him up and caring for him. so if i could do that i think i will be OK with the pain. my baby is almost 9 and my oldest is 19. and hubby well 40 going on 4. I think everyone can help out and fen for them self's. Well, I am off to pack for the hospital now. See you all on the flat side. Carolyn

How much time off from work does your surgeon expect for most patients?
