Congratulations on your marvelous new life; it's amazing what we have missed out on because of our weight.
I too am in the same boat as you; I have lost 225 with the gastic bypass surgery (7.17.03) and I am scheduled to have the excess taken off and several hernias repaired at the same time on September 12, 1007. I fought the insurance company for 10 months to pay for the cosmetic surgery after 5 denials and appeals. The insurance company kept saying that it was cosmetic and the insurance would not pay for it. KEEP ON KEEPING ON is my moto. With all of the yeast infections, back hurting (on pain pills for that); circulation problems in the legs, etc. Finally, after documenting the circulation problems they opted to go ahead and pay for the surgery. I can live with the excess on the arms and legs along with the breast; but the abdominal area is a must. I am scared but READY; GOD has brought me this far and he is not going to let me down.
