It's been awhile

It's been a while ...I've been post op 3 mths going on 4 I'm down 66 lbs and BMI is 38.9 Excess body weight is 35% loss...so I'm doing good problems I'm having are more emotional didnt realize how much i loved food..and having a hard time finding clothes that really fit and having some skin problems I am already looking into plastics I'm not sure if I can afford them or if my insurance company will pay for it but I will somehow be able to get it done. My legs are really big so I definitly want something done about that . Just wondering if there is anyone in the area in there 20's that has had or is thinking about having the surgery that can relate or possibly relate to my situation...Anyone know when the next Huntington WLS Monthly meeting is ? The next one at cabell huntington hospital

Congratulations on your weight loss. I have told others (when ask about the surgery) that it is just as emotional as it is physical. But I am learning to do other things like take a walk or find a project to replace those "comfort" foods when I feel in time of need. My husband is already talking about the plastic surgery. I told him one step at a time...let's get the weight off then go from there. I had surgery Jan 11th and down 135 lb. with about 40 more to go. My legs look like elephant legs...all the saggy skin, then there is the drooping/sagging tummy area, and my breasts look like tube socks. But looking at the whole picture and how great I feel...I can deal with the saggy skin. I will definitely look into plastic surgery....what and how much I have done will depend on the insurance company....how much they will pay. Congratulations again ! And keep up the good work. Janet
