Almost 3 mos post TT/BA&lift

[woman in me 307]

Can I be nosy and ask if y'all were self pay for the TT and boob jobs? Did insurance cover any of it?

[sid_n_reagans_mommy 114]

I was self-pay in the states. I went to Mexico for lap-band and my VSG revision, but there is so much immediate follow-up care after plastics, I wanted to be close to home.

Well it's nearing my 3 month mark! Can't believe it! Just went and spent a crap-load of at Victoria's Secret today! Finally starting to feel "normal" and enjoying my new self!

I just wanted to say you look great and LOVE

the the cute Victoria's Secret number you have on!

I am booked with a plastic surgeon locally here but i am having second (and third, and fourth) thoughts.

It is a day surgery and they send you home - good luck! All follow ups I have to be driven back.

Since it is day surgery, they will only do a little at a time - I will need 3 surgeries!!! That will take me years because I need the time off for each recovery.

I am looking into a well known out of country option that uses a different anesthesia so you can stay "under" longer and get more done at once. It is alot less money, but money aside, it seems like a better situation. They keep you in the surgical facility for 2-3 days and then you stay in a local hotel another 12 days and are visited daily by both a nurse AND the surgeon. to me, that sounds like better after care then my usa doc has planned.

This is a hard and scary decision but the out of country doc has great before and after photos and a ton of satisfied patients.

I am still thinking....

Back to the OP- would you be brave enough to share your pre-plastics photos? I suspect they weren't as scary as my current pics look like since I lost 150 (well 170 from my highest weight). I basically have skin for two people...lol

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

Oh, and my doc told me that my extra skin is probably only about 4 pounds. In my eyes, it looks like it should be closer to 40... lol... but I guess skin isn't that heavy?

As soon as I acquire them, sure I still don't have my copies & well... I was not interested in taking my own pics prior to surgery! Haha

Oh, and my skin removal so far was 7 lbs... I'm with you, I thought it was going to be way more!

Thank you! I have a thing for red!

[AChristian 112]

Do you mean me????

My highest pre surgery weight was like 214-217. Can't remember the expect number. However by the time I was sleeved

1 was only like 192. I'm now 140. . So I'm no rack of bones. Healthy weight.

Thank you so much! My excess skin in my stomach was not from losing weight. It was from having a child and a couple surgeries involving that area. So for me , I wanted a Tummy Tuck. That's what I had 2 1/2 weeks ago.
