29Feb - losingjusme's plastics day

[losingjusme 12]

with a panniculectomy, they literally chop off everything either at the belly button or right below. so if you are 'thick' above the belly button you will still have that and it will create a wedge ... if you do a google search on panniculectomy, it will show a picture of a very bad one (and they considered it good...) i know i posted the URL to the pic, maybe in my other plastics thread ???

I was talking to my best bud and now I'm alittle scared. I wasn't going to tell her but we had lunch today and I blurted it. She was a tad bit negative (which is her natural state of mind) - kinda said something about not getting it done until goal but I said geesh I'm 15 lbs from my goal, its not like I'll have to have another tt when I lose it. Then she flipped and went on about how good I look and how even she has the belly flab - she's like 115 lbs - but I'm a little scared of the pain now.

well, the pain is not a walk in the park but it is SO worth it... if you do get the option for pain pump, get it ...

StepC: Read my thread and you'll see that probably everyone has friends who are going to be jealous of your TT. I was 15 pounds from goal when I had my TT and the doc told me it was the perfect time to have it. He said if I lose alot more weight after the TT I might need a slight revision, but it's not going to be a big deal. I won't need the muscle repair, just a small incision and a little nip and tuck. I'm thinking of having my arms and back side done, so I am planning on more weight loss and if I need to, I'll get a little revision of the TT at the same time.

LJM: Maybe you shouldn't get on the treadmill for a little while longer. You are doing so well, but why push it? I guess you know best, though. Let me know how it goes for you and if you get more swelling or pain when you do it.

im going to take it VERY VERY slow... literally going to start out at .5 MPH and gradually go up .1 MPH until i am walking 'normally' ... i dont think i'll last long though (went to the mall tonight* and lasted maybe 15 minutes, but that was chasing after DD)...

* what on God's green earth was i doing at the mall on a Friday night??? geesh - wayyyyy too old ... all the teens with droopy drawers... i did go back to Steve & Barry's and got a couple more pair of jeans though.

Losing, you are looking FABULOUS!!! What a difference! Glad everything is going well!
