Topic: My panniculectomy is scheduled.

You probably have completely forgotten who I am, and are asking yourself - who is this chick and why does she think we care about her surgery? But it's just me - and no, I don't check in nearly as often as I should, but I wanted you to know that I'm scheduled for December 7th. I'll be at home, curled up for several days, with loved ones waiting on me, making me walk and carrying little bits of protein for me to nibble. The Dr. advised that, although the insurance only approved a panni, she'll be doing a regular abdominoplasty, because I wouldn't be satisfied with only the revision a panni provides. I'm pretty darned happy abou that!

By the way, I am able to have the surgery because the DVT cleared completely!! Yay!

I try to do better to keep you updated.

Love you all! Mwah!

Kathy

Topic: RE: My first encounter with "fat friend" syndrome

I can't add any more advice then JEllen and Yvonne did; but I do understand your pain. I too am walking through that with my Best Friend from High School. We are two people that loss and gained, loss and gained together now I have taken this journey without her. This time I had to do it for myself and to improve my health. Everyday I put her in the St. Francis prayer and ask God to open her heart to the possibilities and to give her everything I have been given. And I ask him to help me be the example he would have me to be and to be there to inspire her in her journey when the time is right for her. But they are right, focus on the positive things you have accomplished and enjoy your new life. It is an incredible life, one I did not know was possible.
