Plastic Surgery Scheduled for June 24!



Recommended Posts

Ok I finally have my plastic surgery scheduled for June 24th! I'm going to be having a full Tummy Tuck, breast lift with augmentation( he's going to run the incision along the side of my boob as well because I used to have side fat which is now hanging skin) and also getting my arms done! I'm soo excited and can't wait till the day comes!! This was a shock as I didn't know how I would be able to afford it... My 5 year anniversary was Tuesday and my husband gave me a card with the exact amount of money for the procedure in it and said go get your surgery honey !!! I cried I was soo happy!!

Those are the same procedures I want done except I'm not sure if I want implants or just a lift. I'm a runner and have a D cup so I don't want to be any bigger.

Are you afraid of having them all done at once?

I've talked to my therapist about it and she is advising me to wait until August at least before I look into it (because of other stresses in my life at the moment). I live in Florida, so I didn't want the compression garments in the summer anyway.

No I'm not afraid!! I wish I could get a inner thigh lift as well but he said that's one too many procedures and I will have to wait for that one! Oh well! He said because I am in such good health and my body is in such great shape I will do great having multiple procedures at once. I know it will suck having to wear compression garments during the summer but I will just stay in the AC for the most part while healing so I should e ok. I am scared of the pain but I know that it will be ok after a while! As for the implants.. I am currently wearing a 32dd from Victorias Secret, but the cup had become to big... You can see my chest wall and my rib cage at the top portion of my breast and there's not much at the bottom. He said after the lift I will be lucky if they are even a B cup... There's just no breast tissue left at all! So that's why I am having implants placed under the muscle ! We are going back and forth between 325 and 350cc's...

That's exciting news! ! That was very nice of your husband! If you don't mind where are you doing your surgery? I've been looking into plastics myself but for next year and ice decided to do the tummy tuck plus my beat lift with implants as well but have not decided on my bat arms yet I'm so scared of the scars... what did your doctor tell you about the scars?

I live near Hampton Roads area in Va and I'm using Plastic Surgery Center of Hampton Roads. Dr. Vonu to be exact. He said the scars should fade nicely to almost invisible because of my skin time and my previous scars. .

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
