I am doing great. I just reached 4 weeks post-op yesterday and I made it to 30 lbs lost since surgery. I have soooooo much energy than I did before surgery. It's fantastic. I've been fortunate and haven't had any complications. I had my first run in with lactose intolerance last night but I guess I'll look to the silver lining, better to have learned my lesson early on. Or something like that. :) 

Thank you for asking. :) 

Is this Group still meeting on a regular basis?

Congratulations!!! It sounds like you have been through the ringer!!! I am glad persistence paid off!!!!

 

I bet once the date gets closer, you will be thrilled!!!!!!!! 

Hi, I had my tummy tuck done with Dr. Martin at Madigan in May of 2010. This was 8 months after my DS revision surgery. I was at goal, so was able to get it done.

Dr. Martin did a phenominal job at both surgeries, and I am over the moon happy with the results from both my DS (Life changing!!!) and my tummy tuck!!!!! He is an awesome surgeon!

I did not pay anything for the tummy tuck or the DS, but was told a breast lift would have to be paid for at about 4,000 if I remember correctly. I opted out of the breast lift, but LOVE my flat tummy!!!!

I would call them and see if the tummy tuck is still free!!! Did you have  your WLS at Madigan?? If so, the tummy tuck should be free for  you!!!

Good luck!!!!
