I don't have pictures to show but quite a story. I had the tummy tuck and did really good. I was back to work within 2 weeks and slowly built my endurance back up. My scars were minimal due to "constant" massage. The biggest problem since that date has been me. Since I quit smoking and was not allowed to exercise I turned back to food. Over the next 2.5 years I gained about 83#. I some how gave myself permission to no longer watch what I was eating or doing and I slowly slipped back into my old habits from pre-gastric weight loss. I was back in my size 18 clothes. Well, as of this March I said "ENOUGH"!!!!!!!
I started my diet and exersice program again. So far I have lost 46# and am back in my size 10 and several size 8 clothes. It's interesting, I am about 25# heavier than before but am able to fit in all my old clothes and some smaller. My tummy tuck is ok now but I have a little bit of excess due to the weight gain then loss. My new goal is to get down to 130# or size 6 pants. I am currently at 169# and size 8/10.

Got a phone call from my MD this morning. My surgery, which was to be next Tuesday, is now postponed. My iron count it a little too low. We guess it is because I donated blood about 6 weeks ago and since I'm a post gastric bypass, I replenish iron at a slower rate. I am feeling very upset and frustrated but completely understand the safety involved. I still want to scream. Yesterday I filled my medications and bought my support hose. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paid my money last Thursday and had my EKG and chest x-ray last Tuesday. Quit smoking over 2 weeks ago. Only 15 days till surgery. My husband is being very supportive now. Just tonight he asked in detail about everything from details of surgery to expected recovery.
I've been busy getting details taken care of. Last week bought Palmers lotion and arnica tablets. This weekend bought a wheat husk low back/abdominal hot and cold pillow. Today I got Vitamin C and Iron supplements with Milk of magnesia. Plan on moving my recliner into the bedroom 2 days before surgery. Best news yet - they finally have coverage for me at work for 2 weeks. I have been REALLY stressing about this since last Monday. All in all, things are beginning to shape up well.
