bump:

recently I sent to see a plastic surgeon, I have a lot of excess skin. We are now negotiating with the health insurance company to get approval to get it removed.

Sweet, good luck

Ferdinand, great job with the weight loss. Sorry about your blood pressure though. A lot of people are affected by this that lose a substantial amount of weight. To me it sounds like you may be fainting due to orthostatic hypotension. Basically means your BP drops significantly when you go from a sitting or laying position to an upright position causing the fainting. Hope it has become less troublesome and good luck in your hopes for plastic surgery.

Don Fernando · 01-02-2016, 04:54 AM

havent fainted in years now, that issue is gone, just like my sleep apnea

Good to hear Ferd

spectrrr · 01-13-2016, 06:29 PM

Great to hear things are moving forward for you brother!

Does beer still hit your stomach with the same aftershocks as it did years ago?

Any plans to visit the US in the next few years? Or are you going to make me wait ~5 years untill I make it out to Amsterdam with my wife?

(yes, we've got a trip planned, but it's a solid 5 years in the future)

No beer for me, beer and my intestines are the only two ingredients you need to a Hiroshima like disaster.

No plans for the US, now that I have an Asian girlfriend all my vacations will be spend east.

nice, BBQ at my place

good luck on the skin surgery Ferdi..

I had mine done in October! was pretty rough, especially since I can never sit still. lol

Don Fernando · 09-19-2016, 02:51 PM

went to the hospital today, for my 6 month check up. Had a spectacular weight loss the last few months, about 13kg/28lbs and i'm at 97kg now. Its been since my teens that I was below the 100kg.

for now the insurance refused the skin surgery but I'm fighting their decision with help of my doctors. I still have hope.

That Amsterdam herf might have to become a Singapore herf, if my wife and I lose the custody battle of her little girl I will sell my house and move there.

AdamJoshua · 09-19-2016, 04:36 PM

Congratulations on the weight loss and sending positive vibes on everything else, best of luck, Ferdi!

Don Fernando · 10-22-2016, 10:50 AM
