HI DECEMBER LOOSERS!!! YAY!! Isn't it great being a looser? Anyway, I am Kathy.. started my journey at 287 pounds.. had RNY on December 16th, 2004 and am now 125 pounds. I fluctuate about 5 pounds up and down. lol Have not had any plastic surgery.. but would LOVE to have a boob job (I went from a 44DD to a size 34 ALMOST A -- no hanging skin on the boobs though.. there just isn't anything there) Would also love to get a tummy tuck, but that isn't looking good either. There isn't enough extra skin for insurance to cover it! grrrrr Guess that is good, but I want that perfect flat little tummy! The doctors tell me that it isnt' to bad and looks like most people that have had four children. WHAT THE POOP??? GRRRRR But over all doing well... have gone from a size 24/26 to a size 4/6 and feel great! What else could I really ask for? I am very thankful for this surgery and my new life!
