My Journey on the WLS highway....

Hey again. I am about 3 weeks out from my first plastic surgery, and overall I am doing very good the doc says...lol. They took off 9 lbs of stomach (abdominoplasty I think they called it)...I am at 250 at last weigh in, and I am getting wayy excited looking at the outlet malls for my new clothes! I had four drains, and now I am down to one drain, which is being very stubborn! lol...

Pain wise it was way better than the gastric bypass for me, but I have to say I think this surgery...

Today is a huge day! Not only am I two days away from my one year anniversary, but also because it is the end of my "fit" list, meaning the list of things that I can't fit into!!!!

I am working closely with my plastic surgeon to form a battle plan with regards to the skin removal surgeries, which is another blog in and of itself! lol.... There will be a total of four body areas spread over three seperate surgeries! ugh...but as most of you know, that skin is driving me nuts! ha ha ha...And it is definately...
