Ballermom replied to ebthompson2010's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1. I say that I'm allergic to sugar because I get diaphoretic and nauseated if I drink or eat the least bit sweet Stuff. I see the positive side of this though. I use to be a sugarholic. 2. I loose weight so fast that I never have any thing to wear for special occasions yet I'm a Slow Looser. lol 3. Sex is Greaaat!! 4. I wear people out on not telling how I lost weight. When they ask, I tell them I'm doing Protein shakes that's my story and I'm sticking with it! This is what I ve decided to do. 5. Sex is Fantastic! -
Wow! Looking to get a tummy tuck too. I had never heard of problems with the urine flow afterwards.

People don't recognize me!
Ballermom replied to MommyofFive's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You do look great! I was having a rough day at work and all the Supervisor ( administrator ) could say is you look Absolutely Great. " you were good looking before but Wow". I really truly forgot about my rough day. He was sincere because I've known him for years. I was shocked! I thought for sure he'd ask about work related things. Didn't expect a compliment at least not from a supervisor. He was not flirting just amazed at my weight lost. Fantastic! -

Ballermom replied to Lisa's Hope's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Looking at Traveling to Dominican Republic Next year. Now I'm about to save up and work more. I'm looking at getting a TT Breast lift with Augmentation and a butt lift. Quoted at 6300 plus xtra for expenses. Wanted to go January but it may take til April to get the xtra time off work. Then I need to get an arm lift and small thigh lift too. Wow! -
Great! I did it about a month ago had awesome results. I'm planning on doing my next one. Keep us posted. Happy for you.

Plastics and bad credit
Ballermom replied to TheNewSusie's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Hi sweet Susie I am going to the DR for TT and BBL but probably not til next April when i should be able to the time off from work. I will save up or at least try. Lol but for my BA and lift I might go through financing. I too wished to get it all done at once due to having to keep being off work. But it will be done at different times, Surgeon choices are Robles in DR right now but that not set. For my arms and thighs I can see going to Dr. Sauceda but that will be the third surgery. Keep positive things will work out. -

Hi Susie, I'm looking into Plastics to need a lot done. TT BBL lower body lift and arm lift so you are not alone. I gotta figure out financing too. But I know I'm going to the Dominican Republic for the first half Bbl and TT. But wished I could get financing for the rest in Mexico too. Good luck -

Plastics Newbie Here!
Ballermom replied to EmilyIsSleeved's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I plan to have TT Bbl and hopefully BA with lift for the breast. One doctor did tell me that they may or not do the breast. The 2nd surgery will be A thigh lift and arm lift. So at least id have to have 2 to 3 surgeries. But I've seen some people that had multiple procedures in one. I'm going to some one who specialize in bbl And do good TT. But I would wait on the arm lift. I'm going to go to some in else for that. thats my personal plan. I've read that your hemoglobin should be up too. With multiple surgeries there is a risk Of loosing too much blood with liposuction. I too wish I can just get it all done. -
Hi I'm looking into theses doctors as well. For 2014 when I can get time off work and save the money too. Have you decided on physician.

I'm looking into getting a TT and wondering if its in Mexico who could fill out my fmla form and what will they put down so it does not say cosmetic surgery. I don't think my vsg Surgeon is the person for that. Not sure if my regular doctor will. He was not totally agreeable with the wls. But he did sign. Needless to say I haven't needed to see him since pre op or before. Can anyone chime in what they did for fmla. Thanks
