3 years post band and ps now done



Recommended Posts

Hi All, I just wanted to post in light of my bandiversary which is coming up on 19th August. I am 3 years post op, lost all my 84 pounds, went from a UK size 22 and am now a size 6 and have just had my plastic surgery all in one go. I had a breast uplift, Tummy Tuck and medial thigh lift. I had an infection in the thighs but its all coming good now. My boobs are amazing and I love my new belly button. I'm still a little leaky and juicy but I have a major night out in 2 weeks and I'm using it as my celebration for finally reaching the end of the weight loss journey. I have a hair and beauty appointment, am going to splash out on a new expensive outfit and am going to get a tan!

My life has changed beyond belief since the band, to include promotions at work, a new, absolutely incredible man who I love beyond belief and a very recent fantastic figure which I can be proud of thanks to my plastic surgeon.

I wanted to share in the hope that those at the beginning or middle of their journeys can feel inspired and motivated just as I did by all the wonderful and supportive people on this board.

Luck and love to you all xxxxx

How soon after plastic surgery did you get the infection?? I hear a lot of bad things about getting thighs done, but I so need it done badly....my plan is to go to Mexico for plastics and I would like to stay in their after care facility for 2 weeks....just in case any infections arise!! I am just wondering if 2 weeks is not long enough...I figure if something bad was to happen it would be within first 2 weeks...and Congrats on your new look....I know I get compliments everyday, but I am not done losing yet ;))

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
