    Friday is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Well I haven't posted on here in like forever but this news was so exciting I had to tell EVERYONE!!!!
 I went to Kaiser plastic surgeon today to see about getting my extra skin removed from my abdomen and HE SAID YES!!!!!
I have to loose the 28 (ouch) pounds I have gained back over the last 2.5 years and then I can get it done . My BMI has to be 30 and i'm at 33 so I am going to do it . If I do this right I can look Hot by my 40th birthday!!!!!!!!
 DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS  and if you have kaiser so cal. ask for a referal to plastics if your over 18 months post op.

1 Year check up today
on September 2, 2008 7:49 pm
I had my 1 year check up today and all went fine . Dr. Korman said I could try to loose another 9 pounds in the next 6 months but it will be harder than in the begining. They also told me of a PS who takes medicare and I may be able to get PS covered if I have skin problems due o excess tissue which I have constantly so will update more as I find out info . I have lost 68% of my excess body weight which is slightly above the norm , but I still want to go for 145 I know it  is possible with time and God.

My Story

I am 36 years old and happily married to the best, most handsome, supporting,  and sometimes grumpy husband ever.I have three great kids 18 mos. ,7 &10. 
I way 269 and have been as high as 320 and as low as 156 at age 23 before kids.
 Other than that 2 year period  I have been big forever , well a least since age 5. My mom would put me on shakes, drinks, salads only since 5 yerars old at 11 they sent me to fat camp for 6 weeks which took all the family vacation money and I still appreciate itt today 26 years later. Well now that I got  all that out here is were I am now. 
I have been trying to get a bypass since last sept. 2006. two weeks before my surgery my insurance changed and my surgery got cancelled! So after 7 months of being bummed about i finally decided to find another surgeon who could help me and here i am. My first appt in on june 26,2007 and I am excited and nervous because I DON'T WANT TO GET MY HOPES UP AGAIN  ONLY TO BE LET DOWN AGAIN. Hope fully everything will work out in my favor this time if it is God's plan.
