You look fantastic. I showed my husband and he said what skin does she need to remove, she looks great! So just curious. I am pretty sure I will need to do plastic as well. did you get it covered by insurance? and if not what is the price range you have found? I havne't been able to find a price for it being done.

You're right, I don't have a lot, but I do have a muffin top that will not go away no matter what I try. My abs are doing well, but they are hard to find underneath the roll! I would also love to get my arm flaps removed, my boobs lifted and maybe my thighs. What gets done, however will be determined by what my insurance will cover and hopefully I will find that out when I have my consultation. I have no idea about the cost yet, I just know that my policy will cover "skin removal after excessive weight loss". Since their definition of excessive is 100 lbs, I decided to pursue it. Maybe it's just vanity...I just turned 53 after all! Thanks for the encouragement everyone!

My insurance won't cover any skin removal :( so I am self pay. I could have gone to the first plastic surgeon I had a consult with in Beverly Hills and have saved a couple thousand, but my local doctor had better results. I saw his before and after scars and they were magnificent! So I am shelling out $17000 for the Tummy Tuck and boob lift with implants. Thankfully I have been saving for a while so I will be paying cash! Yeah! I thought about going to Mexico for plastics, but I feel more comfortable being closer to home, and closer to the surgeon for follow up care. Can't wait! Totally in count down mode! 12 more days till tt!

      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.
