UPDATE!!!!!

Where do I start ????? Alot has been going on in the last 3 months.My weight is down to 242. Which is pretty good because I can eat pretty much what I want to.I just got done working a job for the boilermakers at Quad city Necular power plant and then at Braidwood necular power plant.It was nice to be one of the skinny guy on the job> I was climbing down 50 foot straight ladders 10 to 15 times a day with no problem.Can you belive that?????? Who would of thunk that!!!!!! My waist size is down to 38 from 60-62 I got turned down for my skin problems.I guess I will pay for it myself.I'm also wearing XL size shirts from 7XL shirts.Hope everyone is doing good.I will try to get on more.It was hard I was working 12 hours a day 7 days a week. Life IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks again Taco 458/242/220

Hello Taco, You go boy!!!! Your kicking some a$$. Congratulations on your weight loss. Sounds like your doing well. Sorry to hear your PS was denied. Take care and don't work too hard. Diana 379/175/?

Hi Jeff, Sounds like your doing wonderful and your looking good I noticed my belly button is inflamed and broken out due to the extra skin so I'm taking care of that myself as I doubt our insurance will cover plastic surgery. My stomach would probably have to rot and fall off before the approved surgery. Donna

Donna, You should get the rashed documented by you pcp. You never know, you just might get approved by the insurance company (for a least part of the surgery anyway). Take care, Mary

Congrats on your success!!!!! I am going for my consulation for PS next week, I am hoping I don't get turned down... why did your insurance turn you down with your weight lost? CONGRATS again

Wow Jeff you are doing great. Glad to hear an update on you. Sorry to hear about you PS denial. I have a consult for PS June 5th but it will be self pay. Just going to see how much it will cost for my excess biceps skin and breasts first. Kelly

CONGRATS on your great success Karen G

Great job! You are doing fantastic. It must have been a great feeling going up and down those ladders without a problem - knowing how it would have been for you before your wls. LIFE CERTAINLY IS GREAT!!!! Take care, Mary
