I am - not sure if it will be in Vegas' date=' LA, or even Mexico for costs. Not sure what to start with. Thinking of a Tummy Tuck first. My boobs next, went from a DD to a B :-([/quote']

I have a connection in town which is the only reason I'm staying here. I'm going to need a full body lift. My goal us to lose half of my original weight, 184 pounds. My first step will be my arms and my breasts. :)

Anyone start thinking about having plastic surgery here in town? I still have a while to go before I'm ready but I'm already doing research!!

I had a TT before with Dr Brown (desert hills plastic surgery). I loved her. She was upfront about everything. Even tried to talk me out of one procedure I questioned. If I ever do anything in the future it would definitely be with her again.

Hey!! I'm doing well! My weight loss has slowed a bit, but I'm coming back from an injury so I'm not working out as hard. I definitely see better results when I eat clean (crazy how that works)!!

I weigh on Mondays and Thursdays... So as of Thursday in down 115 pounds. I want to lose a total of 184, which will put me at half my surgery weight. 69 pounds to go! My surgery was 3/4/13.

How are you doing???

I weight it once before and hope to go there again. How are you dealing w excess skin which is my main concern. I'm 45 and thinking my skin is not just gonna bounce back like it did in my 30's.... Any tips?? :)

I honestly don't have a whole lot of excess yet. My arms look awful in my opinion. They hang down and I can pinch the excess. I have a little in my thighs and stomach. I still have almost 70 pounds left to lose so I'm sure it'll be an issue later on.

Lotion is key. They also suggest you stay out of the sun.

I'm stoked you have a date! What an awesome Christmas present for you!! Who is your surgeon?

I have no problem posting my story if it will help others!! If you have an questions feel free to ask!!!

I have not gotten any diet requirement. I'm 5 weeks pre op.

You should have gotten a packet of what is okay to eat with examples during each stage of the post op. Let me know and I can pull my stuff out.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
