Hi Everyone, You all look great! I too have been very busy. My son is in Iraq and my daughter in law and granddaughter live 3 blocks from us until my son returns hopefully in October. My daughter-in-law is in the process of building their 1st home in Indianapolis which is where my son's job is when he returns from Iraq. Our big question is do we leave our home town of Evansville and move to Indianapolis? We are on the fence. Anyway life is great after WLS, except for the hanging skin. Any info from any one on how to get our insurance to pay for plastic surgery? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Bye for now! Mary Salmon 336lb to Start 185lb today 140lb goal

YOU GO GIRL!!! You'll do fine I'm jealous. I want my upper arms done so bad I can taste it. I won't wear short sleeves because of my arms. Can't give adcive as I have never had PS but think of it the same way we felt about our WLS. We where scared and little nervous but it was well worth it and all that pain is behind us with our nice little skinny but flabby bodies My belly button has been breaking out and I'm wondering if that will back me up for a tummy tuck Hugs and kisses Donna

theres only 2 days left until my upper arm lift ..then 2 weeks until my breast aug...any last mintue advice..or support would be nice XOXO Liz 353/170/150?

I had to make a very hard decision and that was to give my two week notice and so my last day will be May 19. The night shift is effecting my health as I can't adjust. I'm not getting my sleep, my water in take and food in take so I'm sick more often with throwing up, cramping really bad and feeling down right crappy. My husband told me I MUST give it up as I'm killing HIS wife. I cried all Thursday morning but I have now eccepted the fact that it's for the best "my health" I'll regain my health back and start looking for another job. Sometimes the extra money is not worth it. Another change in my life is having to give my parrot Alex up as it's effecting my husbands allergies. When it rains it pours Today is my last day with Alex and it's going to be hard to hand him over but i have to think about my husbands health also. I did how ever find a nice lady on OH who is willing to take Alex for me and it's nice as we can keep in touch plus we both had WLS . HOW COOL!! I'm also looking for a home for my Border Collie as my husbands allergies are effected by her also. If anyone lives in PA and is interested let me know. http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y52/Donnachu/Animals/ It's nice to have a family here on OH that you can talk, share and vent when need be. Thanks for listening. Hugs Donna

WOW Kathy !! Fabulous success story. I'm still losing.... slowly... down to 186 pounds... a loss of 108 pounds from my starting weight. I check the boards almost everyday, but am still working on learning this new look messageboard. Took me two days to figure out how to find the surgery date forums. LOL Have a great weekend, Karen G
