I am only 2 1/2 years but I still check in every once in awhile. I came on today as I am sturggling so I came back hoping to find some others whom might be struggling also and maybe we could support each other. If there are any of you interested, will share more later about what has been happening, when you say you want support too. Hope to hear from some of you.

So sorry for being away for so long. Yes, pictures will help as well as letters from the various Doctors who might be treating you for the infections. My PS doctor knows how to fight and got all three of my Excess skin removal surgeries approved and is currently working on getting approval for the next one.

Had my third Excess skin removal surgery Dec 5th. Have lost over 270 pounds and finally had my hernia repair and 10 pounds of my tummy skin removed. Spent 1 night in the hospital and was up out of bed within 12 hours of my surgeries. Was told my hernia was twisted and encased and the Dr did not want to use mesh because of possible infection. He had to take my belly button for the same reason. I have been taking Tylenol extra strength and tramadol. Have 2 drains and had a followup yesterday. Was told I am healing well but still need to keep the drains in. Was tired yesterday from the trip to and from the followup but overall I am doing better than when I had my Brachioplasty in March.

Yes I looked at this site as well and agree. To pricey for me. I will be needing sleeve compression when I have my arm surgery in early 2018.

So glad you finally had the excess skisn of your lower belly removed. It looks real good and should help and motivate you to get to goal. Did you have any drain? If so for how long?
I had my breast and arms done but need to lose another 50 pounds before he will do my belly. It looks like yours did. I am hoping even though he is asking for insurance to pay for the lower belly that he will do the top half also. He did my forarms even though insurance only paid for the upper arms. Hope your feeling better each and every day.

I am 15 months post op but had lost a lot of weight before my surgery. Since I am doing mostly mostly online dating I tell them before we meet. I also tell them about my physical limitations because of the 4 bulging discs and that I am 60 years old. If they can't deal with these issues I'd rather know before we meet. I too am interested in knowing what others have to say about this topic.

Halloween party 2 years ago as a she devil and Halloween party last night as a devil. Same dress but had to get a ribbon belt as it was so huge on me this year thanks to losing over 130 pounds.

Managed to get into the vest sleeve compression garment for only 7 hours yesterday. The Dr told me to try and get them on Saturday, if I couldn't stand them on to try again on Monday. I had some rubbing and tightness in the left arm pit and at the crease area in my arm. I guess I will try again on Monday with some pads in those areas.
In my case the excess skin has to be removed before the back Dr will do back surgery. So if I want to ever walk again without assistance I need all this skin removed.

To answer your question a man who happens to be a Fat Admirer and can't get aroused unless the woman is obese. When I came to realize this was even possible I divorced him, and lost over 285 pounds from my own body.

I am so glad to hear that BP will be there. Will you be the one there? I registered in Sept and have just volunteered to help Robin in whatever way she needs help. I will be arriving on Thursday and leaving on Sunday. I have a handicapped accessible room with another Gal from Robin's FB group and we could use another non smoking gal in our room. So if anyone is looking to attend let me know as if your a non smoker we would love to have you.
Alex It would be great if you would let me keep this posting up to date and let folks know what is going on.

Needless to say I am disappointed as my surgery scheduled for Monday has been postponed. Why? Because I went to the PCP on Friday Jan 26th for pre-op testing, waited over 1 1/2 hours in a waiting room filled with over 20 people. Several of them were coughing, sneezing and spewling germs all over the place. Come Tuesday Jan 31st I am sick, I told the Dr before I left I knew I would be sick and sure enough. Have meds since Feb 1st but can't get rid of this fast enough and now my surgery is postponed. The 1st PS I had was also postponed. Don't understand why I have such bad luck. The Brachiopplasty has been rescheduled for March 19th. Now I need to get over this illness, stay healthy and stay out of the Doctor's office. I intend to tell the PCP when such sick people come into her waiting room she needs to hand out masks. Had I know I would have brought one with me. You can be assured I will bring one with me from now on.

I had been told if I ever got to 250 pounds (highest 497) I might be able to have back surgery on my 4 herniated discs and spinal stenosis. After seeing the back Doctor (at 250 pounds) he told me I had to have all my excess skin removed and be at 180 before he would do anything. After I got to 220 I had a consultation with a PS he said he would do a Breast reduction which he did in June and he will be doing a Brachioplast March 19. The PS wants me to get closer to 180 before he does the lower part of my body. At this rate I am not sure when I will get to 180. However sometime in May I do plan to see another Back doctor and see if he might do something for my back before I get all the excess skin removed and get to 180. I truly feel my limited ability to walk is preventing me from getting closer to my 180 goal.
