Went to a Christmas party yesterday. Annual event for the employees and families of my hubby's company. Anyway, all of his coworkers noticed my weight loss, and talked to him about it, but I received only two comments directed at me. One was from a wife, just saying I was looking good. The other was an enlightening exchange. It was one of my hubby's closer buddies, a really nice guy that I like too.. and he asked if I had lost any more weight. (Everyone knows about my surgery, no secrets here!). This wasn't part of an ongoing conversation.. he hadn't mentioned weight to me before. I said, "Not this week. And this morning I got on the scale and it said two zero zero point zero, freaking zero!" (I've been totally stuck at exactly 200lbs for close to two weeks now, and am SO anxious for onderland! It spilled out at the least provocation, lol!). The enlightening thing, though was how silly it sounds to hear me bemoan no losses for a whole week! I probably wouldn't really notice it, except it's THE major milestone (short of goal), and I've been close since Halloween.. and here it is.. December. I guess I'm getting antsy. I think Aunt flo is about ready for a visit, so I can expect another week or two before the scale shifts again. Guess I might as well buckle down and ride it out. I know the scale won't move for the next day or two because I went so far off my diet plan at the party, it isn't even funny. We won't talk about that.. eek! (Let's just say that I had my Christmas and New years desserts early and leave it at that). Today is a new day, back on the wagon!!

I had 15 pounds of extra skin that was removed from stomach. It was a hard road to travel had to find a doctor that was willing to fight with my insurance company to cover the procedure. They kept saying it was cosmetic and not medical. Even though I was getting infections under the flap, the foul odors that I would have because of the infections, the psychological effect it was having on me because I wouldn’t go outside due to the fact I was afraid someone would smell the odor, and all the other doctors appointments that had copayments to document everything. Finally, in end the doctor who proformed my surgery never gave up on me and got my insurance to pay. Thank God for the doctors that actually know what we go through even after trying to get ourselves health. Good luck to everyone needs to have this done.
