Hi Everyone Well I got up this morning for my routine dance with getting all the excess skin to fall in place in my body girdle...but this morning was very different. I took a good, long, hard look and tried as I could to really imagine my body without it It was like trying to imagine not having an arm, or leg I have lived with this skin my whole life... Even as a kid I do not remember being able to look down and see anything but a stomach Well this time next week, it will be gone All of it No skin on my thighs to hide my muscles I built from leg pressing 280lbs No more tummy skin hanging down so bad I have to wear two girdles to workout No more sharpi dog skin, wrinkled butt No more football wad of skin in the midline No more tube socks where breast used to be As hard as I stared I just can't imagine So I guess this time next week, when I wake I will have to take a peek..and mourn the loss of my body skin and rejoice in the new, thin, flat, (only on the bottom, not flat on the top) me Stay tuned for before and after pics Stay Strong Family Kathy 330/118 April 14th - thigh lift, LBL, TT with MR, BL and BA June 30th - Arms, back and lower face lift

Hi Meena, I wish you luck The process is interesting so say the least.. Who is your PS? If you don't have one, let me recommend Dr. Fenner out of Evanston He is the guru for us WLS patience. Let me know if you need his number to call for a consult Yes, stay tuned next Friday is my slice and dice day Take care, Kathy

Kathy - ((((((((((((((KATHY)))))))))))))))) I hope you have a nice boring surgery. Please post and let us know how you are doing! I am getting to the point that I am very jealous of you! Good luck, Nancy (who does not want tube socks for breasts anymore )
