That had to be tough! I would break down if anything happened to my husband. They say that these things make us stronger. If anything it is a reminder of how important they are in our lives. I will continue prayers for his healing. I am glad to se you back around again! Your sister in WLS Chandi 305/193/?

Thank you so much Diana. I have been praying a lot lately. It is a feeling I do not want to feel again. Brenda

Hi Brenda, I'm sorry to hear about your hubby. I'm glad he's home now. I can't even imagine what ya'll went through. Will keep you both in my prayers. Take care, Diana

I just wanted to say Hi to all of you. I have been gone from the site for a while now. There has been some much going on in my life. Just last month I just about lost my husband 3+ times. He got stung 15 times by wasps... He was in ICU for 4 days. But now he is back at home. How are all of you??? Brenda

Hi Jean, I had the pannilectomy with hernia repair and muscle tightening. If your insurance company does pay for the panni, find out from the doc how much more for the muscle tightening since the insurance will be paying for the bulk of the operation! It might be worth it to you! If you don't go for the muscle tightening, I agree, getting rid of the loose skin there is very important. I never felt truly small until I got rid of those rolls! The decision always has to be up to you anyway. It is your body. Only you know what you can handle! Good luck Terri
