ku medical center ????

well, it hung down past my groin, in fact if I tried, pushed it out it hit the top of my thighs, I was so worried because I thought it had to be mostly just skin, but mine was thick and definetly full of fat too! I want to know what the chg.s are for a brachiplasty (sp?) upper arm lift. If you asked about that or can please let me know, I am just as embarassed about that as my hanging panni (well "was" lol)but i'm sure that will be out of pocket for sure, never heard of ins. paying for that....ah well...dream dream dream. it seems by looking at you weight loss graph like we were close to the same size, i know at my heaviest i weighed 400, but was around 370 at consult, i'm 5'5.

Yeah I was 378 at the beginning.  I'm 217 right now, but I've had so many issues with rashes its becoming overwhelming and I've used almost all outlets with my PCP.  He recommended though I am not 100% at goal that it may motivate to continue with the hard workouts as well as get rid of the rashes.  Ugh ugh.  I've looked at photos online, but they don't look anything similar to my pannus.  Well I'm glad you liked him.  Did you stay in the hospital?  If so, how long?  Hope you dont mind my questions.  I'll let you know about the BL the nurse is going to get back to me.

mine was done at ku med. though i've heard of a couple other people (they were self pay that might make a diff) who went to outside hosp. i too researched and researched online and didn't find much, if i get brave ..when my son get's home, i'll e mail you a pic. it's not beautiful unless you know what it looked like before...which i'm pretty sure you do!!! lol i went in wed,had my surgery 1:30 pm, had a long wait at ku, was originally scheduled at 10 :30 am, anyhow dr. said i could leave the next day if i felt ready, but my pain wasn't well enough under control, so i left friday, when i felt i could control it better. i will tell you it felt better to get up and walk around hanging on to my husband than it did trying to sit in a chair, the nurse said the dr's orders were for me to at least get out of bed 2x a day and sit in a chair for an hour, at ku i shared a room with someones else and it was so crowded in there , there wasn't a chair anyway, so walking around was better and less painful for me, and i think that is better at preventing blood clots anyhow, so try to do that. i was 215 when i went in, and today i am 204, i still have some excess water and a good amt of swelling, so i am hoping in the next week or so i'll get below 200 , that is my golden number BELOW 200!!! you'll problably hear my yelling from where you are lol!  please please let me know if you do get an est of the arm lift though, thanks, susan

BTW I am no longer in blue mound,ks I am in Overland Park, ks, not to far from you in Olathe, I just haven't figured ou how to change it on my avatar info.

Hey, did you get a surgery date???  I am so happy, woke up today 199!!!      YEAH!!
