Topic: RE: Sugar Free Banana Bread Recipe
I made the bread this week for friends at work and it was absolutely wonderful!! I added some blueberries and a few chocolate chips which made it really moist. Everyone loved it and would have never known it was sugar free...or at least, mostly sugar free...if I hadn't told them. I made it for others to help me celebrate my 100 pound weight loss. Most of my co workers have been extremely supportive and encouraging. One has even given me the nickname of "LB"...which means "little butt".. Bless her!!!!

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

After 20 years of dog life, we're into our second decade with cats. Nah, they don't look like us but sometimes act like us.
My wife's cat - Female Himalyain Blue Point - 13 yrs - 5 pounds. The ruling queen of the roost. Loves flying objects. Graceful. Aloof until early evening when she (verbally) demands grooming by her subjects.
My cat - Male Persian Gray point - 13 yrs - 24 pounds - Fat with slow reaction speed. Couldn't catch a mouse unless it wanted him to. - Rescued from a abusive home. Started out as a hostile biter who hated men. Today he's a lap cat who can't wait for me to get home so he can settle into my lap. I'm typing this with this huge boy in my lap! I keep an extra computer chair next to mine just for him. He likes sitting beside me just as well thank goodness.
My daughter's cat - Female American short hair - Calico - 15 pounds - 3 years - Bright, energetic, and the most intelligent of the lot. Has outstanding balance. A times runs around the house very noisily so that it sounds like an elephant is charging around. How a little cat can make that much noise running as fast as she does we haven't figured out. Her nickname of course is Elephant.

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

Carolyn, I have read other posts that said this is more painful than our bypass but I don't know. I am just now looking into it for myself. I would like a T.T and arm lift if possible. Did your insurance cover the T.T?? I will say a prayer for you for a great surgery and speedy recovery. Let us know how you do. Blessings....

Wow, you're having one already? I had surgery the same day as you and i'm not to goal yet and still losing. Did you stop losing weight and at goal already? If so, good for you! 
Did you get your insurance to cover the procedure? I'm just in the early planning stages so inquiring minds want to know! Hope you don't mind the questions!!
