tomorrow is my preop plastic surgery appt and I am so very excited. I am booked for a tummy tuck, breast lift with implants and thigh lipo on Nov. 19. I am getting a thigh lift a couple months later. Everyone keeps freaking about the money but really??? People pay so much for their vehicles and don't even blink an eye. I am worth more than any car could ever be and these surgery's will last longer than any car. I paid 18 grand for my lapband so why wouldn't I go the whole way? Why not I say you only live once! So I am diving in. I love the way my body looks now in clothes, the surgery will just make me love my body without clothes. I would still choose extra skin over fat any day and I was one of those people who spouted how I would rather be fat than have extra skin.. really??? That is just a bunch of bull! I was so miserable fat. I am so happy saggy skin and all. No one knows I have extra skin when I am dressed but everyone knew I was fat. So seriously don't worry about extra skin if that is what is holding you back from getting lapband, you are just looking for an excuse, which is what I did until I ended up almost having a heart attack from being so obese. Getting the lapband has been the best thing I have ever done for myself. Being thin has been worth all the money and hard work. The band is a tool not a cure. Big difference! Ok enough of my spouting. I am just sooo pro band! Wish me luck everyone!

So happy for you! It's so true what we spend money on...material things...but not on us. I wish you the best!

Good for you! I have seen your before/after pictures, you simply look amazing and deserve all the perks that you can effort. I am so inspired by you,thank you & all the best wishes.

I totally agree with your blog!!! I can't wait to drop my weight. I have already made the decision to have plastic surgery to make me look even better.

You are absolutely right about making the decision to spend money on yourself instead of a car. This will last forever!! Your life will be so much more complete than a car will ever make you feel!

Who cares what anyone else says. They are probably jealous now! They also probably talked about you behind your back when you were overweight. It's time for you! You look fantastic! Can't wait till I get to where you are now!
