My 18 Month Post-Op Post!

Mar 10, 2014

So, I am 18 months post-op now and wish I had a chance to leave a more detailed post, but unfortunately I am crunched for time!

I have been more or less maintaining for the past 4 months now. My weight crept up to a high of 141 after the holidays, which I was furious about, but I weighed this morning at 136. I strive to keep my weight under 139. I've been told, once you hit the 5 pounds gained mark, it's time to back it up! So, since 134 was my lowest weight, 139 is my "time to back it up number." I typically stay between 136-137..."Skinny" day I'm 135, "fat" day I'm 138. :P

I went in to a plastic surgeon last week about getting some (ok, a LOT) of skin removed and it's currently being reviewed by insurance. They said that they've never had insurance actually pay (or help pay) for the skin removal on the legs or arms...which was a bummer, but that they would try...PRAY FOR ME! And, that insurance will most like cover a portion of the full body lift (a cut all the way around my stomach and back around the panty line to remove skin from the stomach/back area) I just hope they come back with some good news, and that insurance will cover most or all of the operation, because I can't afford much.

Well, I hope everyone who reads this is doing good and walking their journey STRONG!

Love, Hugs and Skinny Thoughts,

Beth
