OMG YOU LOOK GREAT - Sore and gory but GREAT!

I am so happy for you! Just 39 days and counting for me. D@~n I wish they would do my tatas at the same time but my doc insists on doing them seperately which with my job may mean waiting another 6-12 months to have the time off. UGHHH!!!

Speaking of work, how much time did you schedule off you work. My PS tried to convince me to ask for a whole month off. I don't know what planet he lives on but in my world I have to work to get a paycheck, especially if I'm going to pay his bills.

One more of many questions to follow...

I know you are all swollen now but did they tell you how much what they cut off weighed?

Oh and I forget if you mentioned did you have a lift, lift & implant or, or reduction on your breasts?

OK that was two questions, sorry. Rest up, take those pain meds and don't push your self to fast on weaning off on them. It is much easier to prevent pain with the meds than to curb pain that has already set in.

I have scheduled 8 weeks off of work, but if I need more I can have it. I did not ask how much they cut off in weight because since I got such huge implants, I didn't figure that would be all that accurate anyways. He did say he thought it would cut 5-8 inches off of my stomach though. I only got implants. I wanted a lift and implants but he wouldn't do them at the same time. I am thankful for that now because they are very high and I do not need a lift so it saved me money and time for sure.

WOW! You look great! I am hoping to have the same procedure (after losing the weight) or I might go with the LBL and a breast augmentation! Not sure yet, will have to see when I get there! I am looking forward to it though! Pain and all - it will be worth it!

FSC, OMG - Your stomach is so flat! and boobs are huge you look like Pam Anderson! Congrats and can't wait to see you after full recovery you're going to look gorgeous! P.S. I met the cutest plastic surgeon at lap band support group I wonder if he could be yours? His name is Dr. Scott Wrye - any of you in the Reno area should check him out he looks like Carrie's Mr. Big on Sex in The City and he and his partner specialize in weight loss surgeory patients.

LOL. My plastic surgeon was Gareth Strand. And he looked more like the owner of the bar in Roadhouse.

I know you said you wanted a lift but how are they looking without the lift? Do you find you still need a lift with the implants? I have a consultation in Nov and I wanted a lift with implants and Tummy Tuck at the same time. I also want my arms done but I think I will wait longer on that.

      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.
