I'm currently waiting to hear from the ps about being approved for a panniluctomy,  The wait is driving me crazy.  On the flip side,  I'm currently 9 lbs below my surgeons goal weight and 9 lbs above my WW goal weight.  Once I get to goal weight and the ps,  I'l be below my goal weight by about 15 lbs.  Who would of thought me of being underweight?Not me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pict was of me last August when I was 30 lbs heavier..

The end is finally in site!! In less then two weeks,  I go to the plastic surgeon to set a surgery date for my panniluctomy.  The surgeon also told me that he's going tighten my abdominal wall.
The day after I see the ps,  I get to go to the dentist to work on my teeth.  Over the past couple of years,  I've neglected my teeth.  It's amazing that once we start taking care of one area, we start caring about the rest of the areas of our lives.
I'm strilled when I went to Goodwill to pick up a couple of things.  Depending on the manufactor,  I'm either a small or a medium.(it can be either a petite or regular).   I know I'll never be a size 0-2.  But you know, that's okay.  Being between a 8 to an 8 is damn good.  It's a heck of lot better than the 5XL  that I was back in March of  "09.

Went to the hernia surgeon on Wednesday  for a consult on getting the hernias and plastic surgery done at the same time.  I go to the plastic surgeon on March 21.  Two surgeons in my county would touch me and the plastic surgeon wants both done at the same time.  According to her,  she would have to go through the hernias to get to the access skin.  It' s been going on since Halloween..Can't wait for it to be over.

Went to the plastic surgeon for pre-surgery admittance today.  I informed the surgeon that I have an appointment with a hernia specialist on Wednesday.  She suggested that I talk to the other sugeon about doing  both the hernias (I have 3 possibly 4) and a tummy tuck at the same time. I'm fustrated because I have been having problems since late October and have had 2 surgeons blow me off and was told that I needed to go where they have a trauma unit.  I've nothing but problems since I've had my bypass back in 9/15/09.  If I could go back in time,  I wouldn't have done this.

Now, I'm starting to get a little anxious.  I have a pre-surgery appointment with a plastic surgeon on Monday, February 21.  She'll be removing approximately 15-20 lbs of excess skin on March 3.  On Wednesday,  February 23,  I have an appointment with surgeon specialist about  3-4 surgical hernias.  With the hernias,  there are two surgeon in my county(Lancaster, PA)  that wouldn't touch me( I don't mean the wrong way)  because of complications due to my wls.  Both surgeons say I need  a teaching hospital that has a trauma unit just in case.  ON the up side,  the specialist is in Hershey, PA  and I get to SMELL the chocolate from Chocolate World.
