I am so happy for you! Not only have you lost lots of weight, but to get rid of the 'stomach butt' is wonderful.

I know when you are completey recovered from your surgery, you will be prancing around in a swim suit...good for you ! and good motivation for us!

ps. telll us all about it...how much money ?? did insurance cover any? how long did you have to be at, or near your goal weight to qualify? Who was your doc? Did you hurt a lot??

my insurance covered a panniculectomy...which would have removed the skin...but not have tucked anything...and would not have gotten rid of the fat from over my hips...u know how there is a little fat roll...from the big fat roll on ur sides...all fat rolls gone...lol...i had to pay $3000 out of pocket...the rest was covered...it was painful...hurt more then my c-section...but i got real sick from the pain medication...the pain wasnt as bad as how sick i got...i felt horrible and thats an understatement...my plastic surgeon was dr. kryger in thousand oaks...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
