  1. I saw several PS before choosing I went with a person with WLS patients as I had multiple procedures. Best in your journey
  2. I had a breast lift without implants. No way I was signing up for 5-8 year maintenance. Before PS 30 F mostly skin to 30 C. My PS pulled some filler as I had a LBL at same time. Love the natural results. For me this is perfect.

    What am I thinking?!

    Healing in time for summer. Glad things are better.
  4. I love it. You have the airstream to travel this journey of life with Plus your spouse. Safe travels
  5. I get the melting thighs! Swim shorts. I had to define what was perfect for me A woman in my 40s. Plastics was a step in the healing process just as the weight-loss was a step. Some of it was letting go and allowing myself to understand with all my scars emotional and physical that I can still be the perfect image of who I am. The researcher and he wonders what the rates of body dysmorphia are in the LWS population

    Loose Skin

    I lost and did not think would be a problem. I lost 100 lbs. I have skin issues. The trade-off is I feel great can do anything and do not have helth complications. It is well worth the trade off for me. I have gone the PS route.

    Healing will happen Complications are a set back. It took me 15 days after sleeve to resume daily life I read about others who were doing laundry next day. LOL. You get one chance to heal - It will happen. Best to you
  9. Tracking food is important to me.

    Plastics in Mexico

    Is it that you cannot recommend her enough perhaps? I can tell you I absolutely love myTT. Honestly I ended up with a crush on my PS

    Is the recovery still intense?

    Plastics in Mexico

    Cool There so many options. A fit for everyone!
  14. Healing is such an emotional - mind body process. Sounds like both are centered in your path
  15. Sorry it ended Even when best it is still a loss. I am glad your perspective is future forward and you have a sense of control. I look at the title of this thred and it says dealing with others issues. I like The fact that you kept it others in Issues
  16. We change My spouse did not get it. He ended up healthier and became a great support. It took time and more time.

    Plastic Surgery?

    Glad you have a plan. Wound healing is scary. Did the muscle split or the skin? Take care

    Excited and nervous

    Glad for you! Congratulations

    "Must Haves" post LBL

    Research shows those that have PS keep weight off longer I went against advice and weighed most days. I upped protein to at least 100 g. I cut all carbs and kept juice pops and chocolate. I did lose muscle. My operation lasted 11.5 hours and recovery was hard and long - I hurt and did not feel hungry. I knew the risk but also benefits. Plus I dropped 24 k on plastics -

    "Must Haves" post LBL

    I was worried as well I did not exercise for 2 1/2 months stayed with the 4 pounds of my weight pre op. Now that i am cleared to exercise I need to put a little weight back. I think we worked so hard to get where we are The chance of me going back does not exist. I eat chocolate too. It just has to be really really really good chocolate ☺️
  21. Fabulous! How long did you recover in DR before proceeding home?

    Paid By Insurance

    My insurance did not cover it. N chance It is expensive. An extended TT is a little less

    What is most important to weight loss?

    Maybe we're not supposed to love food. I sort of decided of food doesn't have to be good I like being fit and active a whole lot more

    Had my pre-op with PS Assistant

    Happy news. Terrific! Are you comfortable with PS? Did you receive date? I went from skin filling my cups to my remade size full B to C. Great feeling -
