Topic: Question....
Last year at this time, I was double the weight I am now....and I never had a problem with sweating...now that I weigh half of what I did last year I sweat like a pig! I could own stock in the deodorants sitting on my dresser! I even spent $10 on Secret Clinical Strength Deodorant, which helps but I still sweat....what do you suppose its from? It's actually disgusting and embarrassing.. I mean, I don't stink....but I hate having the wetness under my arms!! Any suggestions? I see my surgeon this week and I think I am going to ask her!!! Hugs, Holly

Topic: I MADE THE CALL!!!
For the last couple of weeks I have been reading about some of you making your calls and appointments for PS and I have thought "good for them!!! wish I could make the call!" Last night we were watching Big Medicine on TLC -- the one where they do WLS and plastic surgery -- it was actually kind of gross. One lady had 15 pounds of excess skin removed from her behind!! But she looked absolutely wonderful after the surgery!!!! I sat there and watched it with my hubby and I said, "I have extra skin you know..." and he said, "Yes, I know and I also know that it bothers you...." I didn't say anything else.... Well, this morning, I made the CALL!!! I have an appointment at 3:30 pm on September 17 and you know what, I am SCARED TO DEATH!! I don't remember being this scared when it was time for my GB!! I knew I could share this with all of you!!! Thank you for listening!! Hugs, Holly

Hi Felicia!!!! It's amazing, isn't it?? I cannot even remember when I was at the weight I am now....when I got pregnant with my son 19 years ago I weighed 180 pounds and was 199 when I delivered him! Things are slowing down for me too....I have my 10 month check up this Thursday and my goal is to be 150 -- not sure where I am at right now! I can definitely tell I am slowing down, though! You will make your goals!!!! Onederland will be here before you know it!!! I can remember a few months ago when you thought you would never see onederland!!!! I am so proud of you and all of the accomplishments you have achieved so far in this journey!! Hugs, Holly

Topic: Eleven years ago at this weight?
Eleven years ago at this weight... I got married!!!!!! I finally reached the ONLY goal weight I had written down in the page 15 years. I went through journal after journal and the only weight I could find for that time was a short entry when I had my yearly exam that I weighed in at 223 lbs. As of this morning I weigh 222lbs!!!!!!!!!! It only took me 11 years to get back to this weight lol. I am thrilled. I can not believe how far I have come. How I am still going, even if it is agonizingly slow now. I have 13lbs to lose before my 1 year appointment on October 9th. But I only have 8.5 lbs to lose till I have lost 50% of my body weight! Here is hoping I will be able to go to my 1 year appointment with both goals behind me!! Only 23lbs from ONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

I am so jealous and happy for you!! Our insurance will only pay for the panny removal and a lift. Nipples have to be at least 22 cms from the collar bone to the nipple but you have to have enough tissue left to make a boob out of when you are done. So am not sure how that will work out. I don't have any consults as of yet because many doc's won't accept the amout the government will pay. Wish me luck! Tara
