Plastics scheduled!!
I decided to go with Dr. Sawan. Dr. B really recommends him and he has done several WLS patients including some that frequent this board. I'm scheduled for Oct 28th. I feel much like I did when I was waiting for my WLS, excited and scared to death at the same time.
Mostly I am afraid of being inactive for several weeks. Being cooped up in the house and inactive equals depression which is a recipe for me to turn to food. I may be on this board alot during that time frame!!
My sweet hubby is doing great with his new pouch and has already lost 55 lbs. Wow!! I hope to end around 145 but honestly if I never lost another pound I can't complain. Dr. Sawan said my skin could weigh 10 to 12 lbs. I'm pushing to lose 10 lbs in the next 2 months so that I will end up where I want to be.
This week I am the speaker for the OU Women's Health Symposium. ME! Who would have ever thought I would have anything to do with women's health! So much has changed in my life!! Thank you Dr. B. for my sleeve!

I'm glad to hear Randy's doing well. You'll be so busy between now and your plastics that the time will fly.
Best wishes on a smooth surgery & recovery.

Amy!!! I am so excited for you! Tell me what you're going to have done? I am definitely interested but I can't do anything until next summer. I will probably go see Dr. Sawan in the spring to get my insurance started. I feel like I will use Dr. Sawan if my insurance will approve it.
Congratulations!!! I can't wait to hear more!
Hugs,
Marsha

34 lbs. lost before surgery on December 22, 2008. 105 lbs. lost prior to signing up for WLS.
Hey Marsha!! All of us are going to keep Dr. Sawan in business I think! LOL I am having a lower body lift. I think some call it a full 360. It's now just "next month" when I have it done! Yikes! I'm so glad he will do this at Summitt so I can go where I am comfortable and know that I'm in good hands with Rita and the crew.

Congrats Amy! I am so jealous :) I hope everything works out just the way you want. I know you are worried about the down time post op but you are stronger than you think, you have proven that many times over! Best wishes :)

Hey CJ, yep, I really do hope it works out. I hate the down time but I figure the next 6 months is going to come and go regardless so I might as well be doing something pro active to reach my goals. There will be lots of time later to train for triathlons and stuff.
