i have lost my brain i think i should forget aobut LBS and maybe go to someone who handles alzheimers cause i can't remember a thing.,
I feel so bad today.
I am a lions club member who hasn't done much of anything with lions this year because of not feeling well. so this weekend - sunday wa sout annual walkathon. I was all good for it. I was going to rest good today go to bed tonight early and be ready to be an hours ride away from were i live at 7am in the morning to help set up and get the walkers ready.
guess what?
the walkathon is TODAY! NOT sundya but saturday TODAY!  but idiot me didn't find out about it being today until today when its way to late to make it there. i feel terrible.
if i was to drive up there right now in my jammies cause i've not gotten dressed all day i'd still not make it there to see the last walker come off the trail. they'd be long gone by tyhe time i got there.
i was the one in charge of bringing the water flavored straws. so theire all drinking plain water not flavors.
i'd not made it tothe last commetti meeting cause i wasn't feeling well.
i'm tired of not feeling well.
i'm going to make myself feel well fro mnow on!
i can't even type right cause i' mso upset with myself.
i feel so stupid and terrible.

Thanks Maureen,
I am really wanting my legs done, I to can wear any shorts and def. stay away from swimsuits, but Its hard when my family want to go camping, swimming, you know.  I would love to have my arms done too.  Why didnt the doctor do your legs? if you dont mind me asking.  My doctor here doesnt do legs so i would have to find another doctor.

Hi Rhen, I'm so sorry for the delay in responding to this. It's good to see you - always is. Do you mean, how was it in terms of pain and recovery? Or how were the results? Let's see - I had three separate reconstructive surgeries: 1, tummy tuck/abdominoplasty; 2. breasts and arms done at the same time; 3. lower body lift.  In all cases, my insurance paid for everything, although I had to appeal for the LBL. I'm still grateful that my tummy is relatively flat and firm. My arms are just as Connie describes - long scars, mostly faded, a pouch at the elbows. I am happiest with having had my breasts lifted, although they certainly have lost some of that lift 3 years later! I was supposed to hae the skin from my thighs removed at the time of the LBL but the surgeon didn't do it - he was supposed to but when he showed up for surgery he said no, that was not the case. I was furious because my thighs are horrible - and worse now. Why am I gaining most of the weight in my thighs? I hate it... anyway, he did a mediocore job on the LBL and got paid almost $80K from my insurance company. My butt has plenty of sag, my 15 year old says he's embarrassed to see me in my jeans. I tell him tough - if he can't feel proud of me, he should keep his mouth and negative thoughts to himself. Pain was manageable all around for all surgeries. I really wish I could get the skin taken off my thighs - it is quite embarrassing, I can't wear shorts. It's all hanging past my knees. It is what it is. I hope this helps. Let me know what else you'd like to know. Maureen

What I admire so much about your achievements, Pam, is that you did this all on your own for you and you alone. I'm glad that you're feeling so much better.
