Last Week: 138
This Week: 137.5
Loss: 1/2 lb

I had my 6 months check up with Kaiser this past week and all my labs were right on target. The doctor said I should only loss another 10 lbs. I complained that I have 10 lbs of belly fat and more to lose. He said after 18 months post op Kaiser will remove that belly flap for me. Not a "real" tummy tuck, just removal of the belly flap/fat. It would be nice not to have your belly hang out and under your panties or bathing suit - but who but my husband will ever see this? I'm feeling a little selfesh because I'd love to have it gone, just don't know if it's worth the seriousness of another surgery. Your thoughts?

IF it will make you happy and your husband is on board, go for it...

You did good this week.

I couldn't afford a tummy tuck so I am grateful that insurance paid for the panni removal. It really does make a difference in how my clothes fit and look. Since my revision and two hernia surgeries were open my upper stomach doesn't look very good but like you say, who's going to see it besides me and by partner? But to be able to wear form fitting clothes without the bulge is priceless.
I say if you can afford it and it's important to you go for all the plastic surgery you want but if you can't afford it then get what you can from insurance and be happy that it's not filled with fat at least.

Wow Liz, congratulations on the loss!!

Stayed the same - that's good. I usually bounce around within range - don't know that I've ever been the same two weeks in a row!
