Well I went and seen Dr. Caruana on the 29th and he seems to think everything looks good. I did ask how much more he thought I might lose and he stated according to the charts that he thought I might lose another 10lbs. I am fine with this I am comfortable with the weight that I am at. He also asked if I thought about getting my extra skin removed... Duh dont we all think about it. I explained that my insurance company wouldnt pay unless I had documented cases of infection under the extra skin. He said that he has heard that a lot of the insurance companies are approving it after the patient is 1 year out and lost over 100lbs. so he supplied me with info on a Dr. in the Buffalo area that does this surgery. I guess it is something to look into. 
Well 1  year out what a difference I am I feel great I look good and I can shop in the regular sized clothing section at the store. I have accomplished to tuck a shirt in, fit in my husbands pants, weigh less then 200lbs. and fit into all the roller coasters at Cedar Point. What more can I ask for. I will keep updated on the tummy tuck issue when I find out more.

Well it has been along time since I posted 
I am down 103 lbs. almost 1 year out 
But even if I dont loos anymore I am very proud of myself, I chaproned my daughters trip to Cedar Point yesterday and I was able to fit in ALL the roller coasters including the Millennium Force, this is the coaster that I fit into when I was pregant with my 3rd child but didnt fit after I had her due to the company changing the seating restraints. I was so happy to get in buckle my seat belt and ride 310 feet with a 300 foot drop, but that wasnt the tallest I rode I rode the Top Thrill Dragster for the 2nd time since my surgery 420 feet tall 120 mph totally AWESOME!!!
