at this weight loss thing. Since my gastric bypass a little over a year ago, I have lost in excess of 160 lbs. 3 weeks ago I had my adominalplasty and panniculectomy and dropped another 25 lbs in a 4 hour surgery! It is all just starting to sink in to my head that this has actually happened. Yes , this is considered plastic surgery and I guess now I can be considered a Jewish American Princess! Anybody have similar experiences?

Not me, but I certainly applaud you! I remember when you first started on this journey, and it was difficult at times. Congratulations on seeing it through to a new (healthy!) you.

I do think the facelift was a new touch.

I didnt have a face lift. The plastic and reconstructive surgery was to remove excess hanging skin on my abdomen. Thanks for the encouragement. I am now seeing parts of me that I havent seen in over 30 years.

I know, I was joking about the facelift. I've always said that if I ever broke my nose, I'd insist on a nip and tuck, just to make the whole thing worthwhile.

So when will we have a big 'reveal' in NYC?

Well Bluemoon, I just dont know when I will be in NY. I am having a knee replacement surgery on MArch 11th. I was planning to come out to eastern Long Island to visit some family friens soon. I will see how I feel.
