..I've decided to stop.....

[illude 0]

Hey what's up ya'll? I had a goal weight of 180lbs but I went to the doctor yesterday and I had lost 20lbs since being there at the begining of January and I've just decided to stop. I'm still going to keep my band and continue to excersize and eat healthy it's just that I've worked extremely hard and nothing would make me happier than to just have plastic surgery and be done with it. My band doctor told me he thought I was at a good size to go ahead & see a plastic surgeon so that's what I'm planning on doing he has me on some Vitamins & some other medication because he wants to make sure my esphogus is fine b'cuz i've had alot of vomiting & acid reflux lately in the past few months....he tells me he believes I'm healthy & fine he just wants to make sure, but he was kind of up-set that I chose a doctor that wasn't in his hospital for my plastic surgery. Oh well I'm not even sure if I can get this payed for or not I'm not sure my insurance will pay for it. But I do have an appointment with a Plastic Surgeon that my insurance is going to cover the first visit I know for-sure....just to talk to her and see what she thinks or what she feels like I need and when, where, all the questions. I'm a little nervous and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little bit scared. Because I am scared I don't know what to expect but this is what I've been waiting for....so March 16th is when I find out for sure what's going on with the Plastic Surgery.....

Anybody had any plastic Surgery? Tummy Tucks? Anything to do with removal or skin from weight-loss......Let me know how it went and what to expect...please....any & all support/answers is appreciated......

thanks

Hi Tabbi,

You are welcome to grill me about PS. I had my last August. Had a TT and medial thighplasty. I started looking into plastic surgeons when I was about 20-30 lbs from goal. If I were you, I would defintely see as many surgeons as you can til you feel comfortable with one of them. Congratulations. You have done wonderfully.

I checked out your weight before the band, and wow your weight loss is truly amazing. It sounds like you are at the perfect weight for your height right now. You are a great big success story, and reading your post was so inspirational. There are a couple insurance companies that allow one plastic surgery, one is TriCare and I can't think of the other. This may be a cost you will have to have done on your own (that's the pits isn't it), but it will be well worth the money. God Bless You on your journey. You sound like one little miracle that has added years and years to their life. You lost far more than a whole person. :confused:
