Yesterday I had my cast taken off. It feels very weird and stiff and still sore but it’s not as bad as I would have thought. I hope to be back on track in the next few weeks. I swam today properly for the 1^st time and it was a little sore and I had to take it slowly and carefully.

I went to the plastic surgeon today to find out about the abdominoplasty (Tummy  tuck) It turns out the medical insurance does not cover all the aspects of the surgery that I need and only part of it. I need a lateral thigh lift (THIGHPLASTY) and gynaecomastia too . If I wish to do only the one part of it I would also have to wait for 6 months to get it done in a public hospital and it would not look right at all doing half the  job. It will still be better than it is now but still  I don’t think I am going to be doing it that soon right now and would like to avoid multiple surgeries and get it over and done with once.

When I was in the waiting room I met someone who had undergone the whole thing 3 weeks ago after losing around 100KG !!!!. He said he did not find it that difficult an operation and the doctor asked him to show me the results and it looked good. Anyways I am going to wait and see for now till I can afford the payment plan .
