Jon L. Schram, M.D., F.A.C.S. He was totally awesome and caring. He answered all of my questions. Everyone in his office is so nice and helpful, many having the surgery themselves.
Janie...I wish you
the best of luck
with achieving the
results that you
want from
plastics...you are
going to look even
more fabulous than
you already do! Have
a smooth and
uneventful recovery,
and don't rush
things! Take good
care of yourself. We
January girls are
dying to see those
after pics :o).
I wore a 2 piece! well, it wasn't a bikini, but a tankini. Still.......... never would I have worn a tankini when I was obese. It felt good putting on the suit and not hating how I looked and wanting to cover up immediately.
We were at Great Wolf Lodge this past weekend w/ the kids. It was nice having more energy than before when we went to GWL. It was nice not having to worry about how I looked and covering up w/ a tshirt. 2 years ago I wore a one piece w/ a skirt AND a tshirt. I went down waterslides like that. This past weekend I just felt so free, I wasn't hiding behind big clothes anymore, it was like a weight was lifted off of my shoulders.
Things are going good for the most part. My appetite comes and goes. There are some days where I want junk food and find myself wanting to graze, and then there are other days where I totally forget to eat. It'll be like 3 pm and I realize that I haven't eaten lunch.
The scar from my tummy tuck is fading just a bit. It will never be totally gone, but that's ok, it's a small price to pay for having a flat tummy. You can barely see the scars from my breast lift. Now I need an arm lift, can you say sharpei??? lol!
Oh, I got a tattoo on my ankle a few weeks ago. It's a chinese symbol meaning "harmony". I'll post pics soon. Here are pics of us in Traverse City, MI

Janie, you look so happy and so amazing!!! Thanks for sharing with me like you have!! Finally moved that scale a lb. lol, I'm now a whole 144 lbs. But after seeing Dr. Pop Monday, I feel better about what I'm doing and feel like I can move forward. I just needed to hear it from the Big guy I guess. Not sure. Love your pictures! You are so beautiful, and I just love you for being such a great friend. How far are you from Gr. Rapids?? ~Hugs, Steffanie
