had a huge post and my iPhone crashed crap! will try more tomorrow. I did walk... it was great!

hi guys... its realy me.. :hurray: so far I feel fine.. drugs are my friend tho... :confused: can't type worth a damn tho we didnt take pics of the markings, surg center apparently has a 'policy' and i didnt wanna get kickedout. it went well went in about 730 (they kicked dh out) and I was out about 1ish.... we did get pics not sure what all I'll post tho. talk more later thank u all SO MUCH for yer thots & prayers

LJ is out of surgery. everything went as expected. yay!!! I'm sure she would thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

only new update I have is that surgery continues to go well and she is still doing fine. - LJ's DH

just got word that LosingJusme's surgery is going well and she is doing fine. more updates as they become available. LosingJusme's DH

yup, i am about 70-80 pounds from my first huge goal (180/190 lbs) and i have a PS consult tomorrow. i actually completely forgot about it with everything going on until they called to confirm. i have the appointment for arms and LBL. hopefully he will say "i can do the arms now" and give me a goal to hit for a LBL. dont think i will go with this guy though - no insurance whatsoever... how discouraging... i dont even know if my insurance will help me out, but it would be nice to be able to go to someone who accepts insurance. here we go ..

losingjusme just went in for surgery about 10 mins ago

OMG... my ticker says 0 days SINCE my TT... I kinda wanted to see 0 days until, but thats ok... 3am and I've been awake for about half an hour... need to get up at 415 to shower and such, but I'm pretty much wide awake. sooooo excited, hope DrP is getting a better sleep than I am... :rolleyes2: I will post the new thread from my DH's iPhone when he decides to wake up.... (sleeping is not easy when you have a 4 yr old DEEP breathing and DH's occasional snore in the same room, but I wouldnt trade them for the world)... ok... back to bed to rest...

oh shit guys... its almost here! so excited, so nervous... so everything.. GAHHHHH I will post a new thread tomorrow am so my DH doesnt have to look for anything 'complicated' (his words)... he will post when I go in and come out... but will more than likely not read anything... if I dont get another chance, I want to thank each and every one of you for your thoughts, prayers and support... I truly appreciate it.

thanks guys ... i go in tomorrow morning at 6. not sure how long checking in (even though i did it on the web, im sure they will want to verify) and the drawing will take. DD is bringing his camera to take as many pics as he can (both before and after surgery) i asked Dr. P if he would take pics and he didnt seem too enthused. i dont want to push it and really who wants to see my belly lying on a table ? ick. we're picking my dad up from the airport this afternoon and then dinner and i think i'll take a valium tonight. last night was not a good night sleepwise again. holy crap nerves are really setting in. hopefully they will give me something when i check in tomorrow. i cant even imagine walking into the OR. at least with the band my IV was already started and i was wheeled in. i think here i get to walk in ... yikes!!!

Neal, so glad you got your drains out... i cant even imagine them!! when did you get the pain pump out?

awwww... you guys are the best. ok ... info on the insurance portion. i have an 80/20 plan (i pay 20)... my total due to the surgical center is 2250, 1400 is the cosmetic portion... im getting ready to go to my pedi. mmmmm, relaxxxxxxxx terri, hope things get less stressful for you... thanks for all the good vibes and prayers, they are SO appreciated.

have a wonderful trip, karey! breathe believe be happy.... C

OMG, sensational!!!

here they are ... last pics of mah belly (clothed!!!) almost 17 months post op, 150ish pounds down. i cant wait to get rid of this belly.. first pic is 'before', middle is current in the same pants with my shirt raised, right is current in pants that fit.

karen, NO IDEA how much the hernia (cant even remember the name of it .. ???) is costing / insurance... i know its covering the overnight (500) and the pain pump (350), but the rest i have no idea... ?? sucking down the orange juice .... so so so tired of it!!!

yeah, not cheap! I'm combining mine with a hernia repair so insurance is taking care of a portion, but its about 13,000-ish total for extended TT mega flanks and back / side boob lipo..

good for you GY! i was a diet cherry coke-aholic so i know where you're coming from ...

i like the atkins shakes - mocha is good but the caramel latte is my fave. i second the muscle milk, but i dont really recommend them unless you are working out and burning the fat. even the 'light' has quite a bit of fat in it. good luck. i have tons of huge tubs that i loathed ...

wow, Mary. those stats are amazing. congrats!

nina, my luck i'd swallow the damn aspirin ... karey, breathe (toughie!), believe, be happy ... got it!! thanks everyone for your support ... not sure if i would have made it this far without you gals!

oh dear... i know!! :smile2:

Brandy, you may want to schedule a tad before goal, it took me several months to get a consult (it was late Dec and my appt was for March)

Wow! congruatulations!!!
