Re: A question

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I had my checkup with Dr. Randall today and I down 165 pounds

according to his scale. Not too bad LOL. Anyway, we talked about having the

'girdle' removed. In other words, a tummy tuck. He suggested that I set up an

appointment. He's looking at about the middle of Autumn. I just wanted to

toss out some questions for you folks who have had it done either by him or

someone else. Not to get graphic, but he said that just cuts it off with no

liposuction and that it's an overnight thing. I would be out of work for two

weeks. Is that true? What else can you tell me about it? I really want to get

rid of it. I've had the damn thing all my life but I'm not sure if I'm up for

another operation and I'm also afraid that a wound will develop like when I

had my wls (that I still have to a certain degree). I really don't want to

deal with something like that again. My wife thinks I should definatly go for

it and I respect her opinion but I also value your opinions (God knows, you

all have one LOL) and just want some feedback. Sorry to go on so long but if

you could help me out I would really appreciate it. By the way, the list has

been updated. Thanks

Thanks Pam for your input. I probably will but I wanted to get as much advise as

I can.

,

A thought popped up for me that I wanted to share with you for your

consideration. Have you ever considered that eating until 'sick' has a positive

aspect you are overlooking? It not only is letting you know that your body can

and still is able to 'tell' you information - even if it has to go to that

extreme? And it also is a form of 'permission' to STOP which you may feel you

lack at this time?

Yes, that over sweet 'sick' feeling is an old familiar one and while it may feel

comfortable in its familiarity, is it really what you want for yourself? You

could even go so far as to see it as a re-starting point or 'penitence'?

If you continue to act and re-act in the same pattern, you will get the same

results ;-) The trick here is to find a way, even a very minor one, to make a

change that can be the start of re-structuring this in a more positive way for

yourself.

Best to you, Katcha
