Holy Mackerel, who is that guy? Congratulations. How is your woman handling the new you? Is she OK when women flirt with you?

I don't know what I'm going to do about boobs deflated and tummy! I'm 66 and will be 67 before the surgeon recommends going ahead with plastic surgery. Do I really care at that point?? Will see what I look like then and decide.

I am 62 and I definately care. I too wanted the loss for health reasons. But, I am loving the way I look with clothes on and want to look good with them off. I haven't had sex in about 12 years and really want to feel I can take my clothes off. I won't wear shorts or skirts. Not so much from the skin but because of the V. Veins. My boobs are good, they were a DD now they are a D but he stomach and my arms. OMG the arms are unreal, I can't wear anything sleeveless without being so self conscious.

I met a woman at my WL support group who did her stomach, and her back above her bra and did her arms from there. So no huge scar. He also added to her butt. He is from Mexico so I can give you the info if anyone wants it. He did her friend also and apparently you can have a consultation over Skype. She said she got 3 quotes her in SF and Mexico was about 70% less.

I may get approved for the stomach because I have other issues because of it. I have Meralgia Paresthetica. Then I can go to Mexico for the arms and (?).

How about neck? Mine looks like a chicken. awful.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
