Topic: Looking for a PS
Alrighty folks, I need some input. I want to make an appointment with a plastic surgeon but don't want to pick one out of the phone book and say okay, you can cut on me. I'll be looking for one in the Northern part of the state but will travel if need be. Can someone give me some input please.
Thanks,
Paige

Oh god, 5 times. I have done every damned thing they told me to do and my BMI is 52.4. Those *******s had better approve this damned surgery!
I will fight them. That is for damned sure.
Love you,
Joni

Kim Topic: Food Issues??
Good Monday morning all! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Mine was very very busy! I "faked" the cookies for SO's bday on Saturday and no one knows (ssssshhhhhhh don't tell 
) I bought the Chocolate cookies at the Cookie Company .....mixed up cream cheese vanilla extract and powdered sugar....smushed them together and called it real 
On this never ending journey of self discovery, self exploration and growth.....have any of you developed a severe dislike for food?? This may be best answered by some older post ops, but would like to hear from everyone. I go through stages......for a few weeks, I want to eat everything in sight and have to constantly monitor myself to eat "right".....then for a few weeks, I have to force myself to eat....I'll cook something that "sounds" good to me (yesterday it was chicken and dressing)....but then I won't eat it.....or I eat a few bites and feel so guilty for "enjoying' it that I force myself to stop eating. I still enjoy cooking very much and it still makes me happy to cook......but I am seriously worried about this food aversion 
Does it get better when you get to goal? Do you ever stop obsessing over it? My best friend who has lost 180 pounds after WLS and is 2 years out is the same way. What do you all think?? Should I run to the shrink now?? 
Seriously, I am going to my PCP today and am going to bring it up to him. I've heard so many stories of formerly obese people developing eating disorders after losing weight. Are we at more of a risk?
Hugs to you all,
Kim

Topic: Echo tomorrow..please remember me in your thoughts.
Hi everyone,
I just wanted to let you guys know that I was in the ER last Saturday with chest pains and shortness of breath. My EKG looked good and my blood pressure is ok. I am not sure what is going on. I also have asthma, but I have not been doing any wheezing and this pain doesn't feel like lung type pain. I am having an echocardiogram tomorrow to check things out. I took Phen-Fen years ago and I have a slight murmur but the last Echo I had looked good back in 2001. Please, please remember me in your thoughts. I hope that I find out what is causing this soon so I can get to feeling myself again.

from what Ive read there are NO carbs in hard alcohol like whiskey, vodka, rum, gin, etc... it is the sugar content that will get ya and Im not sure yet how much that is. 
Topic: I need a artist!
okay for every 50 I drop I am treating myself to a new tat, that should give me 3 by the time I am done. I have a small ( very small) majenta rose on my right ankle. I want to make this bigger by placing a celtic cross behind it, and having multi colored roses going around it. It is hard to explain but I have the photo of the celtic cross. My sister, Brenda picked it out in a graveyard cuz she liked it, right before death and I have a photo of it. I know I am a lil strange but ya'll love me anyway 
I just need an artist to help me design it. I will pay for his expertise and design as long as it is understood it is a one of a kind design and no one else can have it... , anyone know anyone, give him or her my email addy. Im 5 pounds away and I want to get this done the 3rd week in July.
Love Ya's!
Sandy

Sandy Topic: Joni Dear
Found some more info on the Aetna Gods, might be useful down the road. Keep in mind, one lady appealed FIVE times before Aetna finally approved her. Not trying to jinx ya, just looking out for ya, I want you prepared to fight until they give in no matter how long it takes! Are you with me???
Love,
Sandy
