Thanks! :thumbup: -
Afraid of cosmetic surgery!
JoanieP replied to velvets143's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Let's see...the tummy tuck and lift were done at the same time and cost about $10000. My arms cost me under $4000. My lower face lift cost $7200. I had my work done by Dr. Brian Burns in Victoria, Tx...and would recommend his office to anyone. He did work on my daughter, my cousin and my aunt and they are all happy with the results. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! :thumbup: -
Hang in there, sounds to me like you've got a handle on the situation, and just need to take it one day at a time...I do the same thing when I start eating chocolate. I can't stop at just a bite...so I avoid it altogether.

Afraid of cosmetic surgery!
JoanieP replied to velvets143's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I would do any of my surgeries again in a heartbeat. :frown: I've had a tummy tuck, boob lift, arms and lower facelift! If I can't get rid of my fatty upper legs so my jeans fit better, I will be getting that taken care of next! :thumbup: I have before and after pics if you want to check out my album. Good Luck, Joanie ) -

:sad:I am so sorry you had this happen to you...I have always feared losing my band since I know I would gain the weight back without it...old habits die hard! Good luck!

How long was your journey from 1st Dr.'s visit to surgery?
JoanieP replied to che4u's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know I don't fit the question, really, but here goes...I also have bcbs, but mine won't cover anything bariatric so I paid for everything myself. I went to a seminar on sat. May 6th,2006, called mon. the 8th made an appt with the dr for that afternoon, went back wed the 10th for my pre-op stuff and had surgery fri May 12th 2006. I have never regretted it! good luck, Joanie ) -

Has anyone had this problem after being sick?
JoanieP replied to dana0909's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I wonder if it couldn't be the mucous from your sinuses plugging you up. Just a theory! :cursing: -

Surgery in 2 days and i have a scratchy throat!
JoanieP replied to gloglo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gargle with warm salt water a several times a day for the next couple of days...should help, but I don't think it should be a problem as far as the surgery goes. Good luck!:party: -
I'm not a guy, but I wanted to say welcome to the site, and good luck on your weight loss.

I can feel my port, but I don't recall any swelling. Mine is located about midway between my belly button and my boobs.

How much weight lost in 2 months?
JoanieP replied to lml398's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It's been a while since my 2 mo. but I think I lost like 40lbs...but I agree with the others, everyone is different...you can lose more if you exercise...sounds like you have the motivation, I'm sure you'll do well! Good luck! -
I had a neck lift, as well as a few other things lifted...lol. We all have things about ourselves that we are selfconcious about, so I think it's great that you will be taking care of yours. Even though none of my friends even noticed my neck being smooth and no longer sagging, I am glad I did it. I was very uncomfortable and felt that I looked older than I feel. Good luck and post some before and after pics if you can!
