Having both procedures at once was the right decision for me - I wasn't prepared to go through an extra surgery if I could just power through.

The incisions for the thigh lift are tricky to describe. One incision goes from the crotch area down the inside of my thigh 7". The other incisions are along the line your underwear goes - from the top outside of your "triangle", down to the inside of the thighs (still where the underwear goes, and then when it gets to the back it follows the line of the bottom of your buttocks.

I had my surgery in Bellevue, WA just outside Seattle.

I'm from Seattle/Mercer Island. Just curious as to your doctor and cost (if you don't mind sharing). Looks wonderful. How much time off from your recovery.

I used Dr. Christine Nygaard in Bellevue. I think she is AMAZING. I have loved her work. I don't have a traditional job, so I can't exactly say for time off, but I'm guessing you would want 4 weeks for a desk job and would be required 6 weeks for a physical job. You might be able to go back earlier for a desk job but I wouldn't have wanted to. I will PM you info on cost.

She also did my facelift, I will attach a photo. The two photos on the left are before - one with makeup and a professional camera that hid lots of flaws, and another more bare bones photo that shows what was really going on. The photo on the right is just a few days ago. My face surgery was about three months ago.

She will also be doing my lift/aug in June.

Zowee! You look great!! I am scared to death of a face lift - I wanna look like me, but better. Usually the mouth looks funny - but yours looks awesome!

Thank you! I got a necklift, lower bleph (lower eyelid lift), and brow lift but did not get a lift to the mid part of my face.

I look different from the surgery because my turkey wattle (sp?) is gone (yippee!!) and because you can actually see my eyes. Also, my brows have a more feminine look I think. But another big difference in those photos is that I've lost a fair amount of weight.

I've been happy with the results.

SUPER results for both body and facial surgery! You look fantastic. I am hoping to do all of this eventually so you've inspired me!

I talked to my doctor about it when I have the clearance… I know my plastic surgeon said I just needed my arms, possibly my Hips . my regular physician did mention that I will have extra skin on my face:( :(I can't go there, just yet

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
