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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
