wow that"s great!  What is the wait list like to see Dr Nhor about a panni? Is it anything like the wait for surgery? How long does he require you maintain your weight before being considered? Does he charge any out of pocket expenses? My consultation for my arms has been a 3 month wait, I go Monday :) hopefully its not much longer to wait for the actual surgery, summers coming!

Yay! Congrats on reaching your goal! Like Giselle my goal kept changing as well lol! I wanted to reach 150 lbs, then once there changed to 140, then 130, then 120.... Now that I am 116 lbs, I feel I'm done! But if I have bounce back, then I would like to maintain around 120 to 125. I met with dr Nohr yesterday for my panni consult, and he called me a good rule follower lol that made me feel really good! But I really have cheated a couple of times with not so healthy choices, but overall I am proud and determined to keep up with my new eating, and life. My panni is booked for May 16, and again like Giselle, he said I won't see a change to the number on the scale... Maybe a pound or 2, but that's ok, I'll just be glad to be rid of the skin! I think if you are content on your goal weight, then no need to change it! Just try to keep doing what you are doing and if you lose more, then it's meant to be, and if not, then it means you are at your perfect manageable weight! Congrats!

My appointment went really really well! First off his receptionist Joanne complimented me saying "your before and afters must be amazing!" then dr Nohr told me I'm a very good rule follower, haha. Umm, oh about my lower iron (not anemic) he said that is very common, and to just keep taking my supplements. I asked what size my pouch was, and how much intestine was bypassed. My pouch was around 20 to 25mm (or cc), and small intestine bypassed was 100 cm, (or 3 feet 3 inches), for my skin removal, he said what he will do on my 'small frame' for best results that I am looking for is cut 2 triangles on either side and pull together to meet in middle, and cut hip to hip, and leave my belly button on an island. He said while he has me opened he will tighten my stomach muscles. He said by doing it this way it will give me nice contouring, and a perfectly flat belly! Yay! He booked me in for May 16, but I have to make sure I can get some time off work first for this. But if all works out, it will be done in 6 weeks! He said its lots of staples, and oozing, and painful while healing, but risk of infection is very low. I'll just have to mentally suck it up, and remember the pain is temporary, and once healed up be grateful to have that skin gone!

I'm doing well....I saw Dr Davey today....2 weeks after the surgery and 30 lb gone! :) I'll go shopping this week end to reward myself...I'm allowing my self reward at 25lb, 50lb, 100lb and i'll see after that :) I found a nice idea for a charm key chain with milestone tags/charms....

The same for me about fluids and protein.....it's a work in progress....

Thats awesome. My goal recently changed too from 175 to 165. My height is 5"6' so for me that is a healthy weight for my size.

I try not to focus too much on a number and just remember to make healthy lifestyle choices with food and exercise. I'm sure 

my body will adjust to the right weight at the right time although I get very impatient at times.

I'm just trying to break a hundred right now and hope to by the end of this month which will be 6 month since my surgery.

How long did it take you to get to your goal weight?
