Any Canadians have issues with plastic surgeons and their work?
Alyssa_T replied to thisisthenewme's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
I know ppl who had A LOT of skin and not much fat a TT removed the tummy. I find unbelievable that they want to charge other 6,000 after all you had paid. I suggest check to a lawyer and explore the possibility to suing them. Best of luck! -
Thinking ahead - plastics before having children?
Alyssa_T replied to Neens's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
If I were you, I wouldn’t do TT if I plan to have kids in the future. It will be a total waste of money and energy. You can always have lipo, butt lift but TT either breast augmentation no no no. Wait until you are all set with having children. -

Before and After Mommy Makeover
Alyssa_T replied to Bossbabe's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Wow!! You look wonderful! One question, how long after surgery was taken your post surgery picture? I understand there’s a lot of swelling and inflammation the first weeks. How long did you use the garments? Best. -
Help with swelling after plastics!!
Alyssa_T replied to thisisthenewme's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Try linfatic with ultrasound massage! It makes wonders! I’m one week out from the same procedures you had (plus breast augmentation) and even if I’m still a little swallow, it improving. Doesn’t hurt at all. I have massages every second day since surgery. Good luck! -

Im not sure whether it is too early since I expect go be at my goal weight before my anniversary. I'm already in the high end of being normal weight. I have 26% fat percent which for a woman is fine. I see the skin of my tummy, oh gosh! Anyway, I think every case is different. My doctors are ok with my tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Thanks for your response. -

NOVEMBER SLEEVERS! HOW MUCH HAVE YOU LOST SINCE NOVEMBER SLEEVE SURGERY AND HOW DID YOU LOST ALL WEIGHT! Thank you

Hello everybody!!! How are you doing?! I was sleeved On NOV 31st. I can tell that so far i have lost 70 pounds. Still losing But muuuuch slowly. Im currently 160lbs. My goal Weight is 145lbs. It's amazing how this surgery changed my life. If i went back on time, I would do it again in a heart beat! I wish I did it earlier. I train 3 times a week, weightlifting n some cardio. My body is much toned. I even see now some abs. In December I'm giving myself plastics surgery as a xmas present. Tummy tuck, breast implants and some lipo. Can't wait any longer! I went last week to a consultation with the surgeon. He said that I'm a good candidate for a mummy makeover. I must confess that it scare the sh*t out of me just thinking of the pain but I really want to do this. I want my pre children body!! Anyone considering plastics at this point? -

Woman, I'm really sorry for what I'm going to say but you do seem rude, annoyed, defensive and a bit bitter. If you can't tolerate questions, don't write. Period. -
You look so handsome now!

Congratulations!!!! I totallyagree with the nurse who held your hand at OR, this is one of the best decisions I've made for myself. I'm 7 months out at I'm almost at my goal weight. I feel so good about myself!!! I feel much more energetic and happy to be able to do things!! If I could go back in time, I would choose the sleeve over again in a heartbeat. Good luck to you! Loved to read you. Please keep us posted!

Leaving dieting behind
Alyssa_T replied to bellabloom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I think you should re read what I wrote because in my opinion, you didn't understand a word. Anyway, who cares. Follow the plan suits you best, eat whatever you want, honestly, I couldn't care less! It's your life, your choices. I'm just advising the new sleeved ones that this intuitive eating is in MY opinion a very bad and dangerous idea, at least in the beginning. New sleeved ones should STICK to what their doctor says. Once in their healthy/ideal weight, they can find out what works for them and what doesn't. Personally, I eat because I need to feed my body and I enjoy it doing it so. I don't eat anymore for comfort or boredom. I eat high quality food. That's the fantastic side of this surgery for me, it has changed completely my relationship with food. I don't think of calories! That said, I'm also careful with the stuff I know is rich of bad fat or sugar because I have LEARNT what kind of food I have to PRIORITIZE in order to nurture my body! And the sleeve is a great support. Maybe is a fact of definition this learned and intuitive eating. Doesn't matter. Do what you want. Eat what you want. Your life, your choices. I wish everyone here only the best. Hope everyone get at our ideal weight and keep it for good with learned/ intuitive/ cosmical / whatever-u-want-to-call -it eating. After this major surgery, we all deserve to make it! -
Leaving dieting behind
Alyssa_T replied to bellabloom's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Don't get me wrong. I'm not judging you. I said "junk food" because earlier, you listed things you usually eat and for ME that's junkfood. But who cares! If you like that, makes you feel good and works for you, that's awesome! It doesn't matter what I say! I just said that it doesn't appeal to me. I got sick if I eat too much sweets or processed food. On the other hand, I don't feel That I'm dieting anymore, I feel like giving high quality fuel to my body to function, it makes me feel energized. Good! If I have a party, I do drink alcohol without regrets (is so seldom that I don't get any regret). I might eat a chocolate sometime in a while but that's it.im not addicted to sweets and bread anymore. My point here is that every individual is different, for some it may work what you do, for others not. We have to find out ourselves. Otherwise, I personally believe that as long as someone with a WLS is in the loosing weight phase, should be disciplined and follow our doctor's recommendations. You look great by the way! Best of lucks!
