Topic: RE: 10 Month's Post-Op
Dear Gina, what a lovely and inspirational girl you are. I really mean that. I have seen your smiling face every step of the way with me and am so thrilled for you , that you have had the most amazing success. I wont lose sight of my dreams, I am still plugging away at all the things that life has thrown me this past year, but as Ive been alone a lot lately I have discovered many things about myself and am slowly developing a plan for my future. I will keep my wonderful april brothers and sisters up to date when I know more. All I want now is to get to onderland and that is 10 lbs away. It may take a few more months but Im going to do it. You are such a blessing to us all but especially us lucky April babies.

wooohooo and yay for you Tom. You see, this surgery not only is changing you on the outside it is changing you on the inside-- in a positive way. You are an amazing example of hard work and achievements. Good on you, and I bet you inspire someone else to come into that gym and work out.

Topic: RE: Consult with PS scheduled....Can you all believe it
Hi Rae Ann, my heart really goes out to you. I can feel how badly your yukky skin is making you feel, it must make you so happy to know that your surgery has been approved. Keep us up to date as to how you are going. I will have to save up to get my tt because insurance here only covers a little part of the costs. Yay for you!!

Topic: RE: Consult with PS scheduled....Can you all believe it
Me too! I had my PS consultation five weeks ago and had to call their office this morning because I hadn't heard zip from them since. My insurance company hasn't gotten back to them yet. I'm believing that's a good sign as I'm positive a big NO wouldn't take any time at all.
I wanted to have my breasts lifted at the same time but this surgeon is very conservative and won't do the procedures together and waits six months between those surgeries. I don't know if I want to risk going under general anesthesia another time just so I can have perky boobs at 47. Maybe that's simply too much.
Good luck to you and good bye to your pannus. I know I won't miss mine when it's gone!

Topic: Who had a WOW moment(s) this week?
Good Morning Everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend and have a wonderful week ahead of you. I had my Birthday Party in Kemah, TX this weekend with the TMB and it was a blast.
It's confession time now. I know someone if not a lot of you had WOW moment(s) this week.
My WOW moment(s) this week were:
1.)Tracy (my boyfriend) and I can both lay on the couch at the same time and not fall off.
2.)My nieces and I fit in my old jeans.
3.)Ms. Debra Flores from the Texas Message Board gave me some beautiful clothes and they all fit. Sizes 8 & 10.
4.)A girl I met at my surgeon's office came to my party this weekend and she was going to ask me if I knew Gina and she realized it was me.
So, what were your WOW moment(s)?
Have a great week.
Gina
