Debbie's Golden Ticket

Debbie and I went to see Dr. Finelli on Wednesday. Her hernia turned into a Golden Ticket. She was put on the skin removal list. He told her she was at his goal weight for her. He does this by 70% of your excess weight lost.  I was very happy for her. I on the other hand was put on the gain list for a revision. I have lots to do in the next 6 months. More than I had to do for my RNY but I will do what I have to do.  Maybe this time next year I will be on the skin removal list. See you lighter. Joanne

Lucky for Debbie!  I wish I had a golden ticket.  You know you loose all this weight and to still have problems shopping for clothes just stinks!  I wear a 8/10 pants but because of all the excess skin, I have to wear a 1X shirt or a mens M or L shirt.  So not fair.
Joanne what kind of revision will you have?  To a DS or just revise your RNY?
Have a great weekend, the weather is suppose to be great.
Is the Victory Chapel support group this tuesday? At 7pm? and what door do you enter?  I cleared my calendar so I can attend and meet you guys!  Can't wait!

Judy, Victory's meeting is the 3rd Tuesday of each month. It is on the 17th this month. Oh I wish I had a Golden Ticket too. We all do. I think everyone on this board knows how you feel. I don't know yet  what kind of revision I will have . It all depends on my test and what the insurance company will cover.. I will not know for at least 3 months. Right now I have a bad cold so I can't get any test done until I can breath thru my nose. I had to  reshedule one for 2 weeks. Just another bump in the road.  Debbie and I look forward to meeting you in the near future. See you lighter. Joanne

Debbie got the golden ticket from learning the ropes from her Mom.  You should be proud of this accomplishment too!  Let us know about revision time for you....You keep that positive attitude and maybe you won't need rev....it will just come off. 

See ya lighter....and of course warmer.
