Visit With Surgeon and Plastic Surgery Consults
WOOHOO! I am back from seeing my surgeon!! I lost a bit more weight!!
Yippee, now I weigh 166.5 pounds. My BMI is down to 26.9. My percentage of fat is 21.9%. 
We discussed my plans for plastic surgery in November/December this year. I will go to see two plastic surgeons for consult. Plans are for a total waist to leg skin removal, like a circumferal lower body lift. At the same time I will have my hernia - secured with a mesh. Couldn't do that last month with the dead bowel and high likelihood of the mesh getting infected. I will get on my plastic consults soon because of the scheduling for the end of the year. Many people cram in their surgeries because of the insurance deductibles! I got one scheduled for August 31st and the second one on September 11th.
I can't believe that I'm so close to goal!! Only 6.5 pounds left.... OMG, is this really me? I am crying as I am writing this post. When he examined me, my bones were all hanging out.... even my pubic bone!!! No wonder I can't sit or lay in one position for too long! 
I had a bone density screening too at the office. I'm within the normal range so I don't have to have the Dexascan. I asked him for an OB/Gyne referral too because I haven't been to one in (I'm ashamed to say it because I'm a nurse) 22 years! That's because of being SMO, I didn't want to go! I will be going on September 13th.
I can exercise again with no restrictions. I have to admit that I started to exercise this year on the Tony Little Gazelle Rider... but slowly. Now I can start my elliptical again.
WOW, life is grand! I'm going to hang in there with my job for now since I will be having surgery soon. 
The support on this board is the best! When I need help, and I did and will, you were here for me, getting me back on track. That's what it's all about.
Love you all!!
Hugs and kisses
