no formal exercise for me today we are moving furniture and doing housework and that takes a lot out of me.

today is the first day I can stand up straight without uber pain so I think in the next week or so I will start some light yoga and walking

I miss going to the Cow!  Oh why did I move to WV?  LOL   Oh yeah the bigger house with a bigger yard for less money.  Oh yeah that's why!  lol  I have to keep reminding myself. 

I am glad you are feeling better today.  Vicodin is some good pain medicine. 

I hope you have a great day at work/

Topic: Exercise today?
I have not been having the energy I need to get myself together.  I was planning to get take a walk with the children right after lunch time since weather.com was saying rain after 4pm 30 %  Well it started raining and thundering at 12pm.  There goes that! Feeling fatigued is not easy and it definitely does not let me do anything constructive.

I hope everyone got some form of exercise in or are planning to right after work.

Have a great day!

Unfortunately, I am no way near getting plastic surgery.  I hope some day and I want to go to the same Doctor that tephanie went to cause I met him in person and I really like him.

Good luck!

Topic: RE: tell me your plastic surgery story
I had a tummy tuck and a breast lift back in June.  I was 150 pounds.   I lost 5 pounds of skin.  I used Dr. G. Thomas Grace at St. Agnes and I LOVE THIS MAN... he's down to earth and realistic.

the tummy tuck was the worst pain I have ever had... seriously... pain killers were my friends. I needed 100% full time care at home for at least 3 or 4 days... and I was not up for anything like showering for at least a week.

my daddy paid the bill but I'm finding my insurance is covering some of it.. they have already covered the pathology reports and the mamogram required... now they are mulling over the actual surgery and the anesthesia is being submitted....

any questions?  I leave a lot of it out I' am sure.

Nicole,

15 months after my RNY I reached goal after losing 130 pounds and had a lower body lift (LBL) he removed 12 pds. of skin.  My surgeon was Dr. Mitchell Kreiger in Fairfax, VA, he was awesome, I had to pay out-of-pocket insurance would not cover any of it I have BCBS.  I was also terrified more scared than when I had my RNY, honestly it was painful and hard to get comfortable because you are cut all the way around, but I will say it was worth every penny and all of the pain and I would do it again in a heartbeat.  I still need to to have some upper skin removed and will some day as soon as I can afford it.  Unitl I had the skin removed I just still felt fat and none of my clothes fit right, it was so worth it.

Cira,

I am fine.  No damage and managed to keep electricity.

Cable and internet were intermittment. 

Things are going wonderful from the surgery.  When I started with DVR, I weighed 247 and at my 3 month surgery follow-up appointment, I was down to 188.  He stated that he was pleased with my progress and to keep up the work.

Due to dental surgery, I am on a pureed diet for the next week.  Glad I know what to eat.
