Stefanie, - maybe you didn't catch the details, but I plan to start plastics in Nov 2013, which would put me 23 months post op. It is my docs who say no reason to wait.

So, I am feeling better. Know what I did today - freaking trapeze!!!!!!! I went to a party where we actually climbed a tall ladder and swung on a trapeze. I somehow managed to get my knees up there so I could hang from our knees and did a a back flip as a dismount. Then, I did some crazy stuff on those silks... climbing these silk curtains which required a huge amount of upper body strength. Then, I did some work on this huge ring. That was a little painful but I felt so amazing....like, I can do this! After that, i wore my crazy pippy long stocking circus tights and a silly skirt to the barn and rode my horse. I don't normally ride my horse looking like a circus performer, but oh how fun! Pink cowboy hat too! A guy came in to check out taking lessons there, and he was really interested in me...hahaha... life is so good!

I can't describe the self esteem boost to be able to participate in something like this. sometimes we zero in on things like the excess skin but in reality, life is amazing being normal sized!!!!!

I want to have my plastics, I want to get rid of the hanging skin, but even if I never do that , the world is just a better place weighing like 140 some pounds less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sounds SO FUN!!! I tell you, I was just totally jazzed that I could mount a good sized horse (about 16 hands) from the ground. Just swung on up. No need for someone to hold the saddle on the other side. No need for a mounting block. I'm 5'!" so it takes some doing, but I can do it!!

I admire your upper body strength. that's something I'm working on.

I'm going to wear my Stars and Stripes thong when I go cause when else am I going to wear it?

For your wife? Maybe she'll snore the Star Spangled Banner!!

She doesn't need to see the flag flying high to feel patriotic...
