Whoo hoo! Tummy tuck, here I come!!
As I've mentioned here before, I had gastric bypass surgery 5 years ago and lost over 200 pounds. After struggling with all the resulting excess skin and insurance companies and various plastic surgeons, I finally have a tummy tuck date of August 3. I am STOKED! I wish I could hop on the operating table TODAY. I swear, if I have one more person between now and then incorrectly assume that I'm pregnant, I'm going to lose it.

I have similar results...probably about 4 times in my life. I can't keep the weight off. It's really tough! Hang in there, looking good!!!

10. Thanks!
Wish I didn't have to borrow from my 401(k) to pay for it, though.

I was lucky enough that my current ins. co. is paying for it...
Otherwise, I would be up a creek.

13. Congratulations on your weight loss!
MsKandice, for those insensitive jerks who assume you're pregnant, you can least give them a due date now. Don't let them get you down!

Best wishes on the surgery and for a speedy recovery.
