I'll let technology deliver the 'you're fat' news......
HOWEVER - if I hear ONE MO TIME *high pitched voice*'you're working out so hard, that's all muscle - it weighs more than fat' - I will be charged with mofo'in MURDER!!!!!
So - I researched, and found this method of measuring body fat. The typical ways don't work because my body is still oddly shaped after plastics - if you caliper a fat roll on my back, you ain't gonna be happy - take my measurements - still not cool.

The DEXA scan is the latest innovation in measuring fat mofos - so I'm going to pay the $100 to either put my mind at ease, or completely send me over the mental edge. I am on the books for Friday, 9/3/2010 at 11:30. I will let you guys know how it turns out - this may be the 'thing' that we WLS need to have done to REALLY understand that the 'goins on' is.........
all comments and thoughts are appreciated.

Taken from your link:
"However, TOTAL BODY DEXA and Bone Mineral Density testing can be billed to most insurance companies if clinically indicated. "
Is this an upgrade? If so, I say keep your money and let your insurance pick up the tab.
Thanks for the info. I just got off the phone with my PCPs office to move up the date for my labs and to ask about a scan. WLS/Post-menopausal should qualify me.
**Weight loss since June 08**
But - I DO need to have a bone density done...... so I might just call and find out - thanks for the question!

My last one was done just before my first round of plastics and I plan to have another. I haven't finished reading about the DEXA scan but here's the link for Bod Pod locations (just another option) http://www.bodpod.com/clients/locator

fukk tha clothes fitting. I am wearing the same pair of britches I was wearing at 190 - but this is some BULLSHYT.
the scale is THE indication. to accept anything else is to set myself up to RETURN from whence I came.........

You KNOW I had to say it. My clothes fit "fine" in fact a little loose BUT the scale came a knocking so I'm attempting to do some "plauteau busters 'diet'" we shall see if it bares fruit by the first...I gots goals, lol.
Thanks for the reminder about the fat test though cause I'm due to have one next month...but only if the swelling from my last round of plastics is done =)
