I hook up my utility trailer and load up the riding mower and gas trimmer and take it to a friends house so ray can do his lawn. Teaching him how to save for what he wants. Have my first consult with the plastic surgeon to talk about a tummy tuck. Still haven't decided if I want to do it. I have to be 18 months post op before insurance will cover it anyway so I have time to check it all out. Hope everyone has a great day!

Julio~ Are you consulting with the same surgeon that Bob used? I am also contemplating that part of my journey. Want to make sure I have done all I can on my end to make it a successful venture. Meaning... exercise! and enough weight lost. Would love to get your take on the doc. T.

Hi Towanda, I went to see Dr. Jeffrey Arons . He works out of 330 Orchard in New Haven. There's alot to consider. The extent of the surgery, The time it takes to recover. He told me I would be out of commission for 6 weeks! That's hard to do. I work in a small shop and not sure thay could do without me for that long . Excersize does help as he was quite pleased at how tight my stomach was while he examined me. It's a big surgery and will have to think it thru for a bit to see if I want to do it. Not sure what that excess skin will be doing 20 years down the road and my insurance will cover most of the surgery after october as I will post op 18 months. So Have till thento decide if I can get al my ducks in a row to make a final decision. You find out all you can and give it a long thought process before you decide! Take care, Julio
