To Robin--Hello fellow Marylander. Hope you are feeling better now that you've had the surgery. It will get better I promise. And no, this is not the easy way out. No one knows what your journey is about except you! Congrats for making the decision to be healthy. Cynthia in Mechanicsville MD 360 - Oct 18th 275 - Mar 13th

Robin~ Congrats on making the best decision of your life. I am praying that you will have an uneventful surgery and a speedy recovery. I pray that you will come out of the hospital with a praise on your lips. As they are wheeling you into the O.R. don't feel alone, Jesus is there protecting you and guiding the surgeon's hands. Dawn

I can't believe this! I received a call late yesterday afternoon (3/8) from the case manager at Walter Reed Plastic Surgery clinic. She spoke with the surgeon, Dr. Bonnecarre and he told her that there won't be any charge because of my massive weight loss and because I am a Walter Reed by-pass patient. The lower body lift surgery is covered!!!! I am going to call back the week of March 20th to schedule my surgery date. I am still in shock. I started crying on the phone when Mrs. Hill told me. I really hope this will make a difference. I hope they can at least get 4 inches off of my thighs. They will also lift my butt! That will be cool. They will lipo the outer thighs and give me the tummy tuck.

I am so excited! This is going to be happening very quickly. I have two months to get 10-15 (pushing for 20) more lbs off. I can do it. I know I can. My hope is that after the surgery I will be able to wear a 12 in jeans comfortably. I also hope that I won't have to alter my pants in the waist and that I can wear skirts/dresses that match in the waist/hips. That will be a dream come true!!! No more elastic waists. Maybe I can even buy skirt/pant suits that are the same size in the bottom as the top. That would be so cool.

I must give thanks to the Lord for His blessings. He has answered so many prayers in the past year. And the blessings keep coming. I am very humbled! I love the Lord so very much, and I would love Him even if he weren't answering these prayers. But I thank Him for His love and blessings!
