I can't believe that I'm in the final stretch, and only have 20 pounds left to lose!

I would never, EVER believed that I would be back in Onderland, yet, here I sit!

I was banded in August 2009, and it's almost Christmas 2010. I think by June 2011, I will be at goal

I'm so thrilled, I could cry! Come visit my blog, it's where I've posted pictures

BTW....... June 2011 is when all the reconstruction begins! Getting arms, boobs, tummy, and lower body lift done. Then, June 2012, the inner thigh lift! OMG!

Still in need of other bandster friends as support

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!

I'm there too. Isn't this sense of pride overwhelming?

WTG! Your success is incredible! Congratulations!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

That's so impressive! WAY TO GO!

I can't wait to be at that point. I'm kind of curious how much having all that will cost or how much insurance will cover. I'm afraid of getting to my goal and just being stuck with skin hehe.

My insurance company will cover: Nothing

Quotes I've been getting: $25-30K for the following procedures (all inclusive, including overnight stay, and medications)

Arm lift

Breast lift

tummy tuck

lower body lift

thigh lift

I am going for my third, of four consults tomorrow.

I have exactly 19 pounds left to lose (hopefully, by June... that's 4 months away, so realistically, 5 pounds/month) that I'd like to have off before surgery, and I want surgery mid-June.

All procedures are done together, except thigh lift. That, I'm waiting until June 2012... mostly for the medical write off on my taxes, and June so my kids can help me out
