Just want to whine...and/or cry!

No, I'm not saying I gained due to the excess skin. The skin has always been there. I gained per my doctors instruction. (Backstory: I spent 4 months in the hospital after my surgery. Had absolutely nothing to do with my VSG but it played a part. My daughter had the stomach flu, gave me the stomach flu, yada, yada 4 months later I finally get home, have to learn to walk, regrow my hair (it ALL feel out), saw a nutritionist monthly, lost short term memory, was told I had MS (I do not) my balance is screwed up etc.) But by the grace of God I survived! So I got to goal and stayed there for 3 years and I went under my goal and my doctor was concerned because a few of my vitamin levels started dropping again and I did look a little emaciated. So I've gained and I'm relosing (or should I say attempting to) the skin at my lowest was pretty bad and it kept me probably 2 sizes larger than I would be if it were gone. However with the weight came back the fat. So my loose skin filled in. I have the saggy skin butt in the front aka my stomach. My insurance is HORRIBLE. I have BCBS! Sorry TMI.

I have worked a 2nd job for years to fund my plastic surgery... for the TT in 2011 I used care credit, credit cards and cash then worked to pay it off after which took just under 2 years... not the smartest I know but I was just really ready to get that stomach flub gone. I just had my 2nd round of arm lift/BA BL in July and used care credit again and paid the rest in cash. Ill have the surgery paid off in a years time to avoid any interest charges. Once this is paid off and I save a little more money I will have my last round of surgery which will be a thigh lift. So far I have spent around $32,000 and it has been worth every penny.
