But I have NO plans to go for thigh or arm work....I will never wear tank tops or daisy dukes anyways Now I think I can concentrate on me, school work, health , eating right, taking vitamins right etc! If ya wanna check out my plastics go to www.picturetrail.com/jesinjay I put a password on the plastic folders (two of them) because they are kinda graphic and well I was getting like 500 hits a week to them and it kinda creeped me out But you guys are welcome to check them out the password is plastics (tricky I know) Anyways....all is well just recovering and gonna do some homework! Take Care and I hope everything is going well for everyone! jesi

Hi Jesi, I just looked at all your surgeries. If you had to get Miles you would win a free trip. I will look at your pictures. You take care of yourself and lets keep posting and staying in touch. Lorraine ((((HUGS)))) to all and "PEACE"

You have a great picture journal...you have truly been transformed. I haven't had any surgeries since WLS. I had a breast reduction ten years back. I'm having my gall bladder out a week from tomorrow. Did insurance cover all your PS? I may approach my carrier about a TT, otherwise I guess I'm just stuck with some extra skin. You look great Jesi and the pictures of your family are terrific. luvitsunnyv

Hello Great new pic! Looking good Anyways...thanks for all the compliments, the family pics are from fall of 04.....We ran out of time this fall and never got a new family pic done.....I think this year we will do a spring one My insurance did pay for almost all of my plastics. They covered the panni, and the breast reduction. I ended up wanting the full TT with muscle repair and anchor cut because I am so top heavy.....I paid out of pocket for that and it ended up being close to 3K(for the coversion panni to full TT with muscle repair)....it worked out were I could do that.....if I wouldn't have been able to pay the extra I still would have at least got the panni off tho. (panni is the apron of skin that usually hangs the most). What I did (instead of messing with insurances) was to call the actual PS that I was interested in, asking to speak with the billing/insurance people and asked them if they had any luck getting stuff done with my insurance. Sure saved me a lot of time! Anyways the PS I chose was excellent in getting insurance approval, knowing exactly what she could get them to pay for and not....I was going to go for a reduction.....she was the one who insisted they would cover it, and she was right......aprroved in ONE day! A good PS will know what is going on and should be willing to help ya!!! Take Care Jesi P.S. How are the breasts holding up after 10 years?? I am so happy with my results right now, but curious what ten years holds for me? Again Thanks!!!!

Well I may have you beat... 2003 WLS 2004 Gall bladder out 2005 Surgery to unkink my intestine (May) 2005 Surgery to remove a bening armpit lump (November) 2005 Surgery to repair pelvic prolapse (Late November) My WLS who did 4 of the 5 told me he had about picked me clean!! My 2006 resolution was no surgeries!! lol I hope to have some plastics sometime in 2007 though...have a bad knee which worries me a bit. Alice

Dear Jesi. You are so pretty. You LOOK done! I would LOVE to get PS! So tired of that stomach. Blah! How are you feeling? You said you were depressed for awhile and I think sad is so hard to live with. I think about you when I pray for you at night and hope that you feel happy. Take care and thank you for keeping us updated. Allison

Hey Allison.....Thanks for the concern......I am feeling SO much better these days! Your right, sad is hard. My PCP put me on wellbutrin 2x a day and it seems to help.....that along with my tummy getting fixed, I feel 98% better truly. I had no idea how depressing it would be when the PS didn't turn out as planned....hard to explain, but it had me in the dumps. My PS is amazing tho, and went out of her way to fix it for me! Thanks for thinking about me What are you up too? How is life going for you? Wishing you the best, and thanks again! Take Care Jesi

Hi Jesi, I am so glad that you feel better. Lizzie and Jaime are both in a murder mystery play (and dinner with it) that will be March 3rd. I am babysitting Grace (she is one just a few days ago) and she has an earache so I know you know how that is. JJ and Livy (she just turned 2) are on their way over. My best friend, the one who blacked out, her father died yesterday. Lizzie needs to be taken for a job interview for Office Max today. It is so funny. She LOVES Office Max and office supplies and she told the guy that and he thought she was just kissing butt... I really laughed because she DOES love them. So, that is all. I am still overweight... and still trying to get to normal. I would love PS, but I have no rashes, only this horrible skin. That is depressing. Keep in touch cause I love you guys. Allison

Wow, Jesi, I haven't seen you in a while! You look great!! I had my plastics in December, and got to goal in January. Hope you are well. Grace @ goal.
