Hey, Sue, I want you to get my file when that time comes! If I remember correctly you work for BCBS of NC, right?

My pannus DEFINITELY hangs below my pubus. Not all the way to my knees, but it is hanging down there. I also kind of have a double apron, the pannus and then the upper part of my stomach has formed a fold over my belly button. The bad thing about my pannus is that it is uneven. Even with pants on, I have this bulge on one side. It is so yucky looking! I get the nasty rashes in both places, but they're almost worse around my belly button. Right now, it is so bad that the skin is all broken and it is painful. I won't be 18 months out until June and I'm not at goal, so I have a ways to go. Right now I'm stuck at 220. If I could get all this junk removed from my stomach I'd probably join onederland. It is so disgusting!

I also have these nasty pockets of skin/fat that hang down on the insides of my thighs. They hurt when I wear pantyhose. I'm really worried about summer when I'm hot and sweaty. I'm going to have to buy a swimsuit with a skirt because they just look to nasty to expose to the public. I know I probably don't stand a chance with my legs, but dangit I wish I could get rid of this stomach!
