Topic: Plastic surgeon recommendations?
As my one year surgiversary approaches, I'm starting to think about plastic surgery.  In a perfect world, I'd like to get everything done- breasts, stomach, back, arms, legs.

Any recommendations on a good plastic surgeon?  Was he able to get insurance to pay for your BL or tummy tuck?

Thanks!
Lisa

Aren't bucket lists great?  I have a lot on my list, too.  Everyone's list sounds awesome.

*  I want to go to Ireland.  Stopping off in London and Paris on the way wouldn't be too bad either.

*  I want to run a half-marathon in DisneyWorld.  That's actually on the horizon--I've paid the entry fee for November!

*  I would love to go on an African safari.

*  I want to do a road trip with my travel trailer up to Alaska and spend time travelling around. 

*  I'd like to do a Triathlon this summer.   Need to find the right one on the right date yet...

Heidi, you should take the first step on your Warrior Dash goal, and walk/run the Challenge Obesity 5K with us on April 21st.  We have a team, the Formerly Fat Friends.  If you go to sign up, our password is "coffee."  We have people planning to walk, or run, or both.  We'll have fun!

Topic: 3 yr surgiversary
Tomorrow is my 3rd anniversary for my RNY.  I can't believe it has been so long.  I regained about 13 pounds after about a year but had a tummy tuck and arm lift and between that and being more on track, it is back off. 

This certainly hasn't been an easy journey in a lot of ways and I have some personal issues that I am struggling with that are directly related to the RNY, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

I don't think I have even visited OH in probably a year.  I try to live my life as a healthier person now, not a weight loss surgery patient.  It seems to be working, but regain is always a threat, so I know where to turn for support if I need it.

Good luck to anyone starting this journey - it is truly a ride!
