Body Lift - Pre-Op Tuesday, Nervous and ....



Recommended Posts

Hi well I am back, Tomorrow is my pre-op and I am trying hard not to get too nervous and start to doubt my decision.

Not to mention the cost of 12K that I will have to give them, but part of me says I am worth it other part says I should learn to accept myself

and the hanging flesh etc.

Thanks for all who have shared so far on my other posts, guess I am just getting anxious and sure it will get worse before it gets better,

guess looking for some encouragement as I take this next big step.

Thanks

I had a lower body lift and hell ya it was expensive however I have no regrets. I hated my hanging stomach. It got in the way when I exercised. Made embarrasing clapping noises when I ran. That's not the kind of cheering I wanted to hear!!!

When I laid down I felt like I was surrounded in a pool of skin. I absolutely hated how it looked. I worked so hard to lose the weight I did not want to be hauling around 10 pounds of flappy skin forever.. It was the best thing I could have done for my emotional health.

I love my firm, healthy, fit body! I'll say it again and believe it YOU ARE WORTH IT!!!!

Once you look down and don't see the excess skin you'll be so glad that you spent the money, had the embarassing pictures taken, and went through the discomfort from the surgery. It'll all be so worth it!

Take care and look to the finish line!

      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.
