No, I didn't meet the criteria to have my TT be funded by my insurance ; ( For everything I had done, TT, BL/BA and arm lift it cost $18,220.00.i chose a highly skilled plastic surgeon who specializes in weight loss reconstruction plastic surgery

Each day gets better and better I no longer need my percocet only at night!!! It really isn't that bad after the first few days! Also everyone is different and everyone has different pain tolerances. Don't give up on your dresms

Thank you all!!! Today has been tolerable pain wise...but I am pushing through the pain!! It hurts really bad when I get up to use the restroom and walk around!!! I can only manage to walk the length of my house twice then the pain is really bad!

Day 2 now I'm feeling the remorse of surgery. Who every said it doesn't hurt is lying. I'm in so much pain is not funny. I will try and keep people updated day by day.

So I'm done at the surgery center. For some reason my hands look like lil sausage. Surgery went well took off with out a hitch. Pain is tolerable as long as I keep my medicine in. Doctor was extremely pleased with the outcome. I got the boobs I wanted 375cc. Thank everyone for the blessings and well wishes.

Please don't get so frustrated!! I know that's hard to do but it takes time for your body to adjust after surgery! I gained... Drum roll please!! 22lbs after surgery!! Yep! 22lbs!!! It was all from fluid and iv's and what not but I looked horrible and like the stay puff marshmallow guy in Ghostbusters!!! It took a month just to loose that and then I was at the weight I was before I had surgery! Now I've lost 124lbs... All within 9 months! You will get MANY stalls throughout your journey and that's ok, it's all part of the process!! I would loose weight then stall for 2 weeks then the pattern continued! So after a few months I realized the pattern and I knew exactly when I would be loosing and not loosing! When I wasn't loosing I was dropping inches ! Keep your eyes on the prize!!!

I live in Gloucester, I'm a year and 4 months post op but would love to meet people in my area to support each other!

I live in Gloucester, not far from u, I'm almost a year and a half post op from gastric bypass.... But if u have any questions or need help, I'm here ; )

Not related to topic but I love your sleeves!!! And Congrats on your weightloss!!!

I take the Walmart generic version of colace daily and they are gel caps, my dr. Said I can take 1-3 daily as needed.. Depending on my severity I change up the dose.

These are great questions I would love to know the answer to as well!!!

I like you ( even though I'm young) spent my whole life trying to please everyone around me, worrying about what others thought of me.. And doing things to make them happy and not myself! I'm only 34, but I've been married then divorced... Had my 1st son at 17! I have never once thought about what I wanted or needed in life and strived to please everyone! Well this surgery plus the help of my second husband and therapist has taught me that I am just as important as everyone else on this planet and so is my happiness!!! I have learned soo much about myself and that I do matter !! If you want to look good, it's not vain, or crazy you are as young a you feel! And I personally think anyone deserves to feel good about there body at any age!! I was fortunate enough that my husband gave me the money for our fifth anniversary this year to get plastic surgery this coming Tuesday! I will be getting a tummy tuck, arm lift and breast lift and augmentation! Next year if my inner thighs are still horrible and haven't firmed up I will fix that too! He said he thinks I'm sexy and beautiful just the way I am hangy skin and all!!! But if I will feel better about myself by havin it fixed then he will pay for it!!! Frankly, I'm not sure who is more excited about the boobs, him or me? I went from a 40DD down to a 32 not even a B!!! But I can't wait!! And I think you should go for it if it makes you feel better!!! Your still young ; )

Skiddles, we are having plastic surgery on the same day !!! Mine is next Tuesday also! The 24th.. I hope everything goes well for you and you have a speedy recovery!!

I followed you ; ) LILBOO007

I love it, very very pretty!!!

I had gastric bypass in March of last year... So a year and almost 4 months... I have only had dumping when I eat or drink too fast or really fattening foods. I stay away from ALL sugar and high fat foods and I'm fine!! You learn very quickly what your new pouch likes and doesn't like! There isn't much I can't eat!! As far as bathroom issues.,, I don't have any as I don't know many people who have had gastric bypass that do either... I have bad gas at times and it smells horrible but that's about it! I would make the same choice again in a heartbeat!! I have had one problem (an ulcer) and it was quickly resolved with antibiotics and carafate and it was gone in 2 months! No other issues in almost a year and a half!!!

Good luck! It will fly by !!

You can get a consult now and then that usually will lock in the price if you schedule your surgery after the consult.. You can schedule it for a few months or a year later but it will lock in the price incase they go up on prices later.

I want from a 6 1/2 to a 4 1/2 (kids) or 5 women's depending on the shoe.. I can wear heals as well but not like 6 inches or anything but I have been known to sport 4 to 4 1/2 inch!!!

Ok... I am not a spy, lawyer or a paranormal investigator... Although I would be great at all three !! What I do for a living right now is a stay at home mom.. Although my boys are 13 and 16.. I spend most of my time cleaning, cooking, running kids around ad going to the gym! I take care of everything in my family's life !!

I'm also 2 weeks away from a full tummy tuck, breast lift/ augmentation and arm lift! I have been working out alot, doing alot of ab work, push ups, and strength training.. My surgeon told me the better shape I'm in prior to surgery the better the outcome will be cosmetically and the easier the recovery will be... Good luck and I hope everything goes well with your surgery!!

Nope, not a lawyer... However I did want to be one when I was younger!

Thank you!!! I love my little girls... They are soo spoiled!

Oh I should be!!! I would be a great spy!!! But nope... Not even close!!!

Oh huh guess me!!!
