I had gastric bypass in September 2006, and lost 110 pounds, which I have successfully kept off. I was a fit child and teen, but two c-sections and a back surgery led to weight gain that I never seemed to be able to get off. That weight loss was great, but left me with a bunch of excess skin in my abdomen that just won't go away, and I still get the "pregnant" questions, even though I am 46 and my kids are 29 and 20. I can't wait for the belly to be gone! Luckily my thighs, hips and arms are trim!

One week to go! Yikes!!

Counting down, surgery is next Monday. I spent the weekend grocery shopping, cleaning, etc. to get stuff ready. I am having surgery on my right wrist Friday morning, and that recovery will be 2-3 weeks off work and about 3 months total. I decided to schedule the TT at the same time since I will be off work anyhow, and I can collect disability pay for the wrist surgery. It was basically now or never, as I don't anticipate being able to take another 2-3 weeks off anytime soon. I hope it won't be too much to recover from at once. Luckily my 20 year old son works 2nd shift and does online college (still lives at home) so he will be here much of the time hubby is at work in case I need help.

I will try to get some before photos added sometime this week.

I am a roller figure skater. My costume has shape wear built in, so the extra skin is fairly well hidden!
