I saw the surgeon today, and he's really happy with where I'm at. I'M not, but hey - what can you do? lol he told me something that I didn't think about - that when you're overweight, your body makes your bones and muscles stronger/heavier than a "normal" person. he put it "it's like using rebar instead of 2x4" and of course, weighs so much more. which makes the BMI useless - so I can stop looking at it and going "I"m still so BIG".
I finally found out my referral weight - 146.0 kg (322lbs)
Got a referral to plastics, and the appointment will be sometime in the new year. I'm 99% sure nothing but the panni will be covered, so I will have to wait until I've got the money saved up for my arms. the rest of me, I really don't care - but my arms are gross (and I'll end up with horrible rashes if I don't get the skin removed).
