Check it out. I went and bought a pair of jeans that were in my old size..... size 28... and took pics in them so you can see the old me vs the new me. So click on the link below and view the wls pics folder. Enjoy! http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/flawedgirl/my_photos Hope this works

I am so excited, I have been waiting for almost two months to lose 2 lbs to be at the 100 lb loss. It finally came sometime within the last two weeks. One of my doctors had asked me how much more weight had I lost and I told him none that I know of. He told me oh yes, I can tell you have lost, so he had me get on the scales and the two pounds were gone. I was so excited that I never really heard another thing that he said to me. Since then, I have lost another pound so I have lost 101 pounds total. I still want to lose 20 more pounds, and I need to start the process for a tummy tuck, inner thighs (they are really bad), and breast augmentation, but I don't know if I have the energy to go through what I had to go through just to get approved for the WLS. Has anyone else started the reconstructive process? If so, please give me some insight on what I need to do, where to start, what I need to document. Any help or encouragement would be appeciated. Thanks Karen 259/158/130

I too have the batwings... and if having them isn't enough they now make noises... when I bring my arm down to my side too fast I get this loud "whap" noise... now thats an attractive image I know... A previous poster said $3000 for arms. I was told it was more like $6000. I am going to do some research and see what I can find out... I need upper thighs arms and tummy.... just wish I could move some of my gutt to my butt and I would be a happy camper...
