Just venting... Personal, OT, female-ish stuff.
Wow Darla, you have endured alot this year! And now this? I am praying that the surgery all goes well for you and the added bonus of the TT will be just what it is, the silver lining in all of this. I too went back in a few years after the Hyster to have the last ovary removed, and honey, I feel great now!!! The hormones, or lack there off may give you some fits for a while, but your body is going to adjust just fine. You are going to be so much better off Darla, without those bad ovaries....
If you need anything besides a swarm of prayers and good vibes, just let me know!! Cause you already have the prayers and good vibes coming your way!!

Well that's a good question, Pat... one that I have down on my little notepad to ask him. I'm not sure if what he's planning to do is an actual "tummy tuck", or if just removing the extra skin is something different? I'm guessing it's not the same as a TT. Either way, he sure made it sound like he's done it plenty of times!
Frankly, I don't care. I'm not in this for a bikini bod
just the thought of that cracks me up! No, it would just be nice to not have that friggin' "apron" to deal with anymore.
And that alone is more than I've ever bothered to hope for! (no rash issues here, not even a little! Which is a good thing, but without it, I've never allowed myself to hope for even the simplest skin removal!)

Darla - I've told you before I enjoy your posts. You are honest and encouraging and funny. I was dismayed to read your current health issue and, with all your other friends, wish you the best. I was so impressed with the huge and immediate outpouring of support and love and I hope that is reassuring to you.
All the best to you in the days ahead.
Mary

Thank you, Mary... and we're all pulling for your approval and surgery date to come soon! 
I have to say, and I hope everyone who has replied to my post reads this -
Today I'm crying a whole different set of tears.
Yesterday, it was fear, anguish, just plain being overwhelmed. Today, reading all the caring, loving replies? I'm overwhelmed in an entirely different way. This OH community has been a HUGE part of my life ever since I discovered it. The friends - DEAR, TRUE friends - I've made here? Wow. The outpouring of concern and prayers and offers of help so many have shared just fill my heart to overflowing.
My prayer for every single person *****ads this (as well as a mess who don't!) is that you can ALL find what I've found here. A non-judgemental place to share the triumphs and struggles of this WLS journey. Friends to laugh and cry and go on road trips with. Support, ass-kickings, ideas, inspiration - it's all here for the taking.
THANK GOD I'm greedy and selfish enough to have hoarded all I can handle!!!

My sweet Darla,
What more can you handle? I'd be a screaming meany if all that was thrown my way. I'm sending you love, hugs, and prayers. You are a rock! And I admire that in you.
As for the skin, it must be a WLS thingy....when I had my thyroid taken out, I asked if he could pull extra hard to bring up the girls and the belly....nope. When I had my carcenoma removed from my left temple, I asked if he could pull extra hard and bring up the chin...nope. When I had a swollen saliva gland, I started to ask...but decided, hell, they'll just say no.
Peace and love to you. OH, and if everyone comes over that says they will.....well, it'll be a party!!! WooHoo!
Smoochies
