More Surgery Ahead

There is still some debate about whether Cushing's is an autoimmune disease or not.  But I thought this meme would be quite appropriate anyway for the reason of the last part of the meme.

I went to the doctor on Monday about a problem I've been fighting most of this winter.  I ended up walking out with a referral to a plastic surgeon to have a panniculectomy.  That means to have my fat removed surgically and skin removed and tucked up as well.  I knew I would have to face that one at some point after I lost more weight anyway.  It came as a shock, though, anyway.  The problem being aggravated is balanitis and phimosis caused by that several hundred pounds of fat pulling on things from behind and above.  And things are getting worse instead of better.  I am also a candidate for a recircumcision as well.

I'll keep you posted, my friends and readers.
