excess skin removal

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to give everyone an update. I had my 1 year appointment on

2nd of October. We talked about skin removal. I have to work on a

few things first. After talking with everyone I have learned that I

am not eating enough. I have to get my protiens up more, drink, and

eat, eat, eat. That is really difficult. I have promised that I

will do that. I have been really working hard at that. I know it

has only been a few days but I can do this. I go back on the 6th of

Novemeber. At that time we are going to take pictures and submit to

the insurance for the tummy tuck. I also have a hernia that will

have to be repaired. I have complete confidence in Dr Cooney. He

has been my life saver. He has given me this tool and helped me

become a healthier person. I think I am anyway.

My question to everyone is: If I want more skin removal than just a

tummy tuck, do I go to a plastic surgeon from the beginning or does

it not matter? I am sure not looking to be a model or anything like

that. I just want to be able to wear shorts in the summer without

the extra skin flapping and slapping. I want to have a stomache that

doesn't stick out. What advice do you have for me?

I did make my first goal. I am very excited. I know after the skin

removal that will take me down a little more.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Loretta
