The "skin"ny
posted on 6/15/07 10:22 am
Well, i just received a letter that once again i feel will change my life. My insurance company just sent me an approval letter to have the panniculectomy surgery, for those of you who dont know the pannus is the apron of skin and fat that are left over after losing so much weight. This is an awesome thing, i feel so fortunate to be one of the lucky one's (of course i am not wasting anytime so they can have the opportunity to change there mind), to get rid of this hanging skin will be a great step along the way to complete happiness. I cant speak for everyone but for myself knowing how well i have done, you look down and somehow this skin clouds up you getting an actual true look at how well you have done, from talking to alot of people they seem to be like i am, you cant focus on how well you've done, all you see is that skin hanging there and still think your fat, well, i know im not fat anymore...lol, wow did i just say that....i did!!! im looking forward to this surgery on july 16th, it is a 6 week recovery from what i have been told which is a long time to take off work but i am ready to do this. I will try to update this as often as i can, but i want to again share this step of the journey with my wls friends, stay tuned the show is just beginning.
