I'm pretty excited-- I just booked my surgery for March 11th, which seems so far away/yet so close! I'm doing a TT and breast lift (with no implants as of now).

I also spoke with my surgeon about my upper arms and inner thighs, and we will be evaluating those again at my next appointment, as I am trying to get down about another 15lbs or so before then so things may change a little bit with additional loss. Right now its looking like I may do a little Lipo on both and see if the skin adjusts, hopeful avoiding more surgery later and saving a bit now-- but we will see.

He said I will have drains for about the first week, and I have two weeks off from work/school.

Very excited, upping my fitness activities between now and then to stay on track and be in the best shape possible for surgery!

If anyone has advice on how to prepare, recovery, what to expect, etc., I would love to hear from you!

I just had mine in dec... Originally I wasn't goig. To get implants but after careful discussions and thought I opted not to be a A cup and went for a full B. I am thrilled with the results. I have a thread posted In this section and also have pics on my gallery if you want to look. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/161780-tummy-tuck-and-breast-left-on-tuesday-1218/

Love love my new body and the extra skin on my arms and legs just doesn't look quite as bad anymore. ;)

Thank you both!

I used to be a DDD and am now a D or DD (need to get measured), not wanting to be bigger, but its hard to imagine them any differently! Planning to tell him I don't want to be smaller than a full C, and letting him take it from there once he's in the OR.

The pics and everything are very helpful-- Any advice is welcome for sure.

I've added some new work outs and stuff to get myself down the last 15-20lbs in the meantime. Using it to keep myself busy as I wait for surgery, so very excited.

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
