Topic: Anchor Tummy Tuck
Hi Friends,
I am trying to get information on people to have had the anchor tummy tuck. How was the breakdown between insurance and patient pay? My girlfriend is looking into it and it seems like insurance should be paying more. She had a $10,000 quote and insurance will cover $2,000. It is a plastic surgeon vs. WLS surgeon. Does that make a difference?
Thanks!

Great job Kim. I agree . Nutella is soooo good. I'm that way with Peanut butter. Too many people in my family like it and it is protein so it is here to stay. I try to limit myself to 1 tbls a day.

A good week here. Though the scale was kind, I have learned that I cannot have nutella in the house...

Finally home after what seems like 5 weeks of running. I had my first big stall (almost 4 weeks)and 5 pound regain end a week and a half ago. I continued to follow my diet and exercise even though my weight wasn't changing. When I jumped on the scale today i was down 14 pounds from 2 Sundays ago to 334. Yes I think it's easy to doubt your tool, but it's pretty damn AWESOME to have this life changing event. Sure is nice to get "noticed" when your out and about instead of the constant scrutiny of others.
Have a great week everyone!

OK people, I do like my motorcycle more because I can see more-faster. but I do have to remind myself it is the journey, not the speed that brings us to our destination.

Yep it is wonderful, isn't it? I am down two pounds from August 23, maybe not a record, but it is in the correct direction. I have stopped the weight regain of the past 6 months and feel that I have learned about choices, and that I like that I can make them positively.
I do have a treadmill for winter, but i think a exercise routine should be fun so it entices you to do it on a real regular basis. let us know what you find

Hi All:
It's weigh-in day again. I find this routine very comforting. It is important to me, even at goal, to be accountable somewhere for staying on track. I'm somewhat nervous about winter, when it will be harder to get outside and exercise. I think I need to adopt a winter sport.

This week: Loss of 0.2 lbs
I ran 5 miles yesterday morning with my daughter and a friend. It was a wonderful morning, and I really enjoy running with my DD. Our friend was behind us at one point, laughing because we have the same butt and the same running stride and we were running in complete tandem. I'm glad I wasn'****ching, LOL.
But I love sharing times like that with my DD, and I'm grateful to have them. Two years ago, if you had said I could run with her and keep up, (even beat her powering up hills), I would have laughed (along with being silently embarrassed and ashamed). No need for any of that anymore!!

Topic: RE: Good to see everyone yesterday!
I'm sorry I missed you, too, Julie and everyone! I got a chance to get paid to take photos at my nephew's hockey game, so I jumped at the chance. It was great fun to see them play, especially since their team won, 16-2. :-) But I missed you all.
I will probably miss this Saturday, too, since I will be *gasp* running in my 10K race. It will take me longer, so I doubt I will be able to come and drip sweat on you, LOL. But I will wish sweat in your direction.

Good for you, Paul, that is fantastic. Did you like that St. Paul Classic? I looked at doing it, it sounded like fun. Ended up running instead, but I liked the fact that you had support the whole way, and the roads were blocked for traffic.
