Terri , I know Lyn is proud of you and is watching over you.  I haven't seen you in a while but I know you look awesome.  I can't wait to see when you get your date.  Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!

Huge hugz.
Tracy

Thanks for all the support.  She thought that even tho the panni was all that some needed, the way I was built she said I would still have that what I call a muffin top over my jeans.  It is so weird and I am hoping I am not the only one who does this but a few days ago I put on my size 12 jeans which were fine but changed shirts 5 times because each one made me look fat with that fat hanging over the top.  LOL   I worry now about it more than I did 90 pounds ago.

One thing that I feel better about is that Lyn and I talked about this before we had our surgery that we both would have the skin removed so I know that he would expect me to do it.  Oh how I wish he could have seen me at this size.

Thanks again,  Love you all and MISS EVERYONE       Terry

Gonna go very early tomorrow with both sisters, brothers in love and mom to get PAD tests on all of us for free at St Francis Hosp in Mooresville, tehn back to Mom's to get whooped by her in Scabble.  after noon my daughter is having a clothing exchange in my pole barn!   I just found out yesterday.  I have all sorts if clothes to take down tot he barn, good way to get rid of some and maybe get a few more!?      Church on Sunday, then I count after the last Mass.  Sunday afternoon moving furniture!  That covers it all!   I would love to see "How to train your dragon".  let me know how you like it please. My grandson is 4 and we think he just might sit still for this one?

Didn't go through Clarian, so I don't know. But it sounds like their educators need to work more closely with the nurses and physicians and find out exactly how things go post operatively for patients so that you get the right info. Sorry things were so off base for you.

Terri you will be so happy with it.  Dr. B is amazing and I love her.  I just did the panni removal and dont regret any of it.   Do worry about the feelings you are having about it being vain or selfish.  I think that is a bit normal.  I had the same thoughts.  I just couldn't afford to do the extra but she did some of it for me and really helped me out.  She took off my belly button so she was able to include a little "extra" on the insurance bill.  She is an amazing surgeon and 4 weeks out, my incision is nearly invisible on the sides of my hips.  I can see the beginning and then very ends of the incision but the most of it dont really show.

I am sooo happy for you and I know you will love it when you see how great you feel and look.

Huge hugs!!!  And get ready cause her surgery date was only 3 weeks away when I got my approval.  It goes fast!

Love ya,
Tracy
