It has begun. I can see that my gut is starting to cave in on itself. Its not a huge change but when I look in the mirror I can see how my bellybutton is starting to get sunken in and its getting smaller. The funny part is that it really does look like my stomach is caving into my bellybutton. Funny what I get excited about now.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

wtg roland , your doing awesome ! Last night i saw something in the mirror after a shower on my tummy , I had an ole and huge scar from gall bladder being taken out when I was very young all of a sudden this week about to inches of it is sagging ( gulp ) I thought oh no somethings wrong , cause its next to my new incision ( I have a full length scar like a rail road track down middle of my tummy from RNY ) I showed this sagging area to hubby and he laughed and said its cause your dropping weight in your tummy so fast and the scar was stretched so much it cant catch up with the shrinking process lol....so WOW now it is official I dont have just scars I have rolling sagging skin on it ( Oh MY , dont think I will be trading my hubby in for another one lmao ) Everday is an adventure with WLS , our bodies are an amazing thing and sometimes not so forgiving then other ways extremely forgiving ,thank goodness we dont live in the coconut and fig leaves era for clothing lmao..keep up the great work roland , funny how lil things amuze us thru this journey of WLS ...

Its a wild ride Roland. You will be morphing daily soon. For me its been the water that has been the key.

When do you have to go back to work? It really kicked into gear for me then too.

Keep at it buddy!

I'm going to talk to the Dr tuesday about work. He was thinking six weeks off which would be around the first week of april. Want to see if thats what he is still thinking. Hes kinda worried about me going back to work. I work in the Iowa great lakes area. Lots of bars and restraints are on the lake front so we take cart loads of pop down a lot of steps. A cart load of pop can be anywhere from 100 to 300 pounds depending on what they are getting. Plus we pull pallet loads of pop into grocery stores by hand I don't even know what they weigh but I know they are heavy. So hes worried about me tearing up my inards.
