Hi there my friends, I seen Dr. Paul Ross on Tuesday morning for my one year check up since my gastric bypass surgery.

He was VERY pleased at the weight I had lost and  how well I'm using my "Tool"  I have lost below my weight goal and have been the same weight for 3 1/2 months now, give or take 5-7 pounds during "that time of month"  Are you ladies noticing weight gain during your menstrual cycle? Even though I had the hysterectomy in Jan. I can always tell when I would have it, weight gain same time every month.

Dr. Ross said I had leveled off and most likely won't loose much more if any weight, which I AM GLAD, because the last 10 pounds has been showing in my face and neck I'm starting to look bad. NEED YOUR HELP AND INFORMATION PLEASE: Since I hit goal (below goal) and have leveld off, Dr. Ross sent me to see the plastic surgeon (Dr. Michael Orseck with Magnolia Plastics)  this past Friday, June 1 (Seen Stephie there, SHE LOOKS AWESOME!!) For a consultation about starting on my reconstruction surgery (to have all the loose skin removed from the weight loss)  Dr. Orseck said he had seen plenty weight loss patients but that I was the "Poster Child" for WLS. that was cool, Made me smile.   The experience with him was very, very embarrassing, yep, had to strip butt naked and he took pictures!! Thank God my best friend Peg was there or I would have been literally crying from embarrassment. His plans are to do all the plastics I need done in ONE operation!

Please pray that our insurance will pay for this. He said we should hear from insurance within 2 weeks and we will go from there!! I may STILL see a couple more plastic surgeons before I decide for sure.

I just can't believe how fast time goes by and how far I have come. What I hope some of you can help me with ~ I'm also planning to go to Greenville to see Dr. Bishop also a plastics Doc. Do any of you know him, has he done plastics on you? have you heard good or bad about him? This is another serious surgery and this one will have a lot of scars and effect the body shapeb so I want to check everything out on both of these Docs. I know 3 people that have used Bishop and 2 that have used Orseck. So any extra info any of you can give me would be great. Thanks I love you all bunches even though I'm not on here much. Debra
