Jane and Brenda...
Hey ladies. I posted the pic on my profile and I added another. Both of these pics are at the bottom of my profile. I want you to check them out.... I put them on there so that I could hopefully see the difference in myself. I am still struggling with noticing the loss. My face looks so different its amazing. Anyway let me know what you think!
Well, I'm still able to wear my old clothes for now, but eventually I hope to have to go down a few sizes, so that'd be great!
I am doing OK. Just found a protein drink I will actually enjoy drinking, so that's a plus! Just gotta get on the exercise train... If only I could find the time!
How was the support group?

Hi sarah v
that exercise thing is really important. On my 4 week follow up I had to tell Dr. Tom what my exercise plan was. I joined curves that day. If you have been sedentary like I was for a long time I would recommend
curves but as you progress and the wt comes off you can get bored with it. But there are great people there. A lot of different ages and sizes and it really did help me a lot. They monitor you every month as far as inches and wt, which is something I couldn't do. I still go but now I walk a mile to curves do my work out and walk or jog home. Its amazing what a change can occur in 10mths.
Good luck

Hey Jane...until this past January I worked out at Gold's gym with my daughter ..she is an exercise nut and kept me moving let me tell ya..
I lifted weights walked on a treadmill, eliptical machine etc..this summer I play softball ..I normally ride my horses but it was just to hot this summer..I am getting back on track and will begin to exercize this winter..
NOW ASK ME WHY I AM WAITING FOR EXERCISE?????go on ask me.....
you are the first, ok second..I emailed this to Dr. Tom earlier, he is very excited for me!!
drum roll, please...are you ready???
what did we talk about last night? me waiting for my plastics approval..
once again the tension is mounting...
I opened my mail today and there it was...I AM APPROVED!!!!!!
they approved my TT and a breast lift...is that exciting or what?
Dr. Martin who you saw speak last night is doing it...he is so awesome!!!
yaaaahooooooo
Way to go Brenda!!!!! That is so cool. The way they talked last night it seemed almost impossible. Do you have to pay out of pocket? I just loved Dr. Martin. I had a chance to talk to him briefly, I don't know if you were standing there. But he said he would see me now I wouldn't have to wait he said I was tiny. My gosh no one especially a doctor has ever said that. What is the criteria for Breast lift? Oh well, I am very happy for you. Take lots of pictures.
Jane
yea breast lift is hard to get covered..guess mine is pretty bad..lol
call me some time and I will tell you all about it, but go see him...he is so awesome and makes you feel very comfortable...he knows bodies, if he says you are ready then you are!!
I do have to pay upfront, then the insurance reimburses me..there are a couple plastic docs that takes insurance...but he is the best and I wanted him to do it..I wouldn't go to anyone else. He submitted mine around May, it took this long!
