My body is now in Onederland!!!

Feb 19, 2010

Wow!  I can't believe it!  Today I am 198 lbs!  If you read my January post, you will recall that I was scheduled for a hysterectomy and panniculectomy this month.  Well that occurred without a hitch on Monday 2/5th.  Thank God for bringing me through 2 simultaneous surgerys! Thank you Jesus!  Remarkably I haven't been in the pain that I was expecting.  I was more concerned about the pain from the panni removal than from anything else b/c I knew that incision would be a big one.....and it is.  The incision extends beyond each hip and I no longer have a bellybutton.  I had panni removal only - no TT or lipo so my upper belly is still round and chubby' but I dont mind....They removed 12lbs of skin/tissue/fat by removing the pannus!!  12 lbs!!!  Between that and my uterus w/fibroids I lost approx 16lbs from these 2 surgeries.  Even with swelling I've continued to lose weight since coming home which has brought me to Onederland! 

I Love It!

There are things that some people take for granted or don't even think about ( don't get me wrong I wish I could have been one of those people :)  ).
1.  it feels weird to have my panties touch the top of my whoo-haa!
2.  buying a pair of pants for how they fit in the waist, not for how they fit around your panni.  (Yep, if you have platics you're looking at least 1-2 more wardrobe replacements.  Technically I have 1 pair of pants and 2 dresses that I could wear right now without them being to big.  I am not complaining...Its just that I had finally amassed plenty of clothes that I would wear during my times in the low to mid 200's :)  If I have to have a problem, I'm glad this is the problem.

Right now, I'm swearing off any other plastics -   just not ready for another round of recovery.  That may cahnge if I forget the discomfort of my panni removal, but right now, I'm good with the batwings ands that saggy bags :)
