That is exactly why I worry whenever I hear of a friend going to Mexico for any procedure...Is your life worth saving a few bucks!

Day of surgery Day 7 after thigh lift...top of leg near crotch Day 7 after thigh lift...looking down towards knee on rt leg.

Well, it's been 2 weeks since my legs were done. So far so good...a bit uncomfortable walking...feels kinda like I've got something hanging between my legs....don't know how guys can wear boxers... lol ! my dr tells me this surgery will take longer to heal than the others but I think it's come along nicely. I'm gonna try to attach some pics from about 1 week post op. Thanks for all your support! Joanie

Well, I'm having more ps done.. ..I'm having a thigh lift next tuesday 8/23/11...I'm thinking this should be the last thing I do! I appreciate all the comments and encouragement I've gotten from you all. Wish me luck on the legs...I'll post some before and after pics soon. thanks!

You will win that car...best of luck to you, and be sure to keep us posted on your weightloss journey!

Welcome to the site and best of luck on your new journey...keep us posted!

I was using myfitnesspal, but slowly kept forgetting...I need to get using it again, since I've had some trouble with my weight the last yr. Up a lb, down 2, up 2lbs down 1...you know...the yoyo thingy! I'm slowmover54 on there, maybe you'll see me again! Good Luck, Joanie

Hi Julie, I was searching for inner thigh lifts stories and pics and came across yours....wow, what a journey...congrats! I am having my legs done in the fall...can't wait. I've had the tt and bl, arms and lower face and am promising myself that the legs will do it for me. Thanks for the inspiration and I'm glad the draining worked itself out! thanks, Joanie

I had a 4 hr drive home the day of my surgery...Of course I slept most of the way...the worst part was having to stop cause I had to pee...I wasn't exactly dressed for going into even a convenience store ...but to be honest, I didn't care! lol !!!

Welcome Tasha and good luck on your journey...you won't regret it...I was banded 5 yrs ago and would do it again in a NY minute... Keep us up on how you do. later, Joanie

Yep :yesnod: , I have had that problem since I was banded. I have tried to eat eggs in the morning, but generally just have my hot tea then a shake or smoothie. :sigh: Hang in there...it gets easier!

I'm ashamed to say that I haven't been eating right for the last several months, and also have not been going to the gym...hence I have gained some weight...5 lbs or so...but, I am seriously gonna make a resolution to get back on track, starting with the 5 day pouch test for a jump start back to reality. Just wanted to put this out there, so it's more of a committment...ya know? Thanks for listening, Joanie )

I just googled it, you can purchase this book for $39.

Thanks....even after 4 yrs, I still experience some gas issues. The whole left shoulder pain thing. I did recently discover that alot of my pain was from drinking Crystal lite drinks with yellow dye #6. Crazy huh? I did some extensive self testing...not drinking those with it, then drinking the types with yellow6, and sure enough, the pain came. It has defineately limited my choices of flavors for me, but worth not having those pains. Thanks again for your input! Joanie :thumbup:)
