Cecil you look great, Contrats on your weight loss : clap:

Tomorrow is the beginning of a brand new month. Have you took time out of your busy schedule to focus what goals you would like to acheive over the next month? I really need to increase my exercise routine this month. Walking is basically my only form of exercise right now due to me healing from surgery. I will not be able in incorporate weight training until the middle of the month. I am slowly but surely working on my pre surgery walking distance(5 miles). I am also going to continue to do the "All liquid Monday" I really feel refreshed after a day of all liquids. I will also challenge myself to increase my water intake daily. What are your goals for the next month? Diamond

I got my approval from my insurance for the tummy tuck, but they denied the breast lift. I'm still having it done though. I work for the hospital where the surgery is being done, so they said they will work with me on payment arrangements. I won't have to pay anything for the tummy as the hospital will waive the co-pay as I am an employee, otherwise it would cost me $250. The breast lift will be about $5000. Pray for an abdominal hernia. If you have one, insurance usually covers it. I'll be having it all done the day before Thanksgiving. Two Thanksgivings in a row fresh out of the hospital...lol. Good luck! Shelley

Hey guys, have any of you consulted with a plastic surgeon yet? If so, what are your projected costs? I have lost 114lbs and have another 30 or so to go before I reach my goal. I'm thinking about having my consultation now so I can get an idea of how much it's all going to cost. The odds of my insurance covering any of it is slim. I thought at one point i my be able to get my breasts covered. Before surgery they were quite large...now...nothing but skin. Everything on my body is sagging..but, i'll take a little sag over weighing 300 lbs again! Thanks, Charity

Me again, just to update. So far the Maury show people have called me 3 times but I have missed each call!!!!! Hopefully they will try just one more time tomorrow!
