Ooh Monna, I'm so JEALOUS!!!
Hey, wouldn't it be something if we all ended up with perky boobs, tight butts and flat bellies!?!?!?
You know when I decided to have the bypass surgery, I felt the same way - I didn't care if I died on the table, I just couldn't stand living the way I was any longer. Life is a process where we have to move forward. I think a lot of us have lived our lives for other people, and now, maybe - just maybe, it's time to do a little something for ourselves....right???
Please let us know how you make out!
Hugs,
Nancy

Hi Monna!
I'm glad to hear you're doing well!! Congrats to your daughter and how wonderful that your son has decided to get the surgery. As we all know, his quality of life will be so much better!!
As far as the PS goes, I'm going to do what Irene says and make some rounds and see what is being offered. Can't hurt to get more info....
I miss our old talks too, so I hope to see you here more often and I promise I'll check in too.
Hugs,
Nancy

Hi Traci - so nice to hear from you!!
So sorry to hear that you're not feeling well. I'm keeping you in my thoughts and prayers and hoping you get answers that are not too hard to accept or deal with - hopefully something easily fixable.
Keep in touch!
Hugs,
Nancy

Irene - I would LOVE to go to a support meeting. I work in Montvale, so Paramus is just a hop away. Please let me know the particulars.
Yeah, it's hard for me to accept the saggy skin. At some point I'm going to have to figure out some way to get rid of it. I don't have any rashes either, but I do think the heavy skin on breasts and belly do contribute to back and shoulder pain. My problem is that I tough it out and don't run to the doctor all the time so there is not a lot of documentation.
Hoping to hear from you soon!
Nancy

Traci,
There are advantages to being old. My children are grown so no tuition, or braces any more. What I earn I can spend on myself and not feel too guilty. I am really excited.
I will keep posted.

How exciting!!!! I would love a TT and well, a butt! I don't really have a butt. It's flat. Do they do butt implants?!! LOL I seriously doubt I will ever get it all done - it would be a cash thing, as my insurance won't cover it. I can't justify spending the money when we have school tuition to pay, bills, and in the not too distant future, we will be starting with braces. So I just don't see plastics in my future. So I will live vicariously through you all.

I never noticed the typo in the original post. LOL! But I know --- you want to get RID of the skin (with the subcutaneos fat) so you can have a FLAT belly!!
Go for it!
