So Friday Feb 20th, 2015 I will be having a TT, BL/BA and Lipo in Mexico. I am beyond excited and have really appreciated all who have shown pictures and shared experiences, and look forward to being able to share mine!

Oh yes, and I forgot to mention that I will have the fat transfer to the rear, which happens to be almost as flat as my bust is, lol!

@@Think can't wait to see that! I had a butt lift and my upper rear is better than the lower half. I was thinking about getting fat injected, but I'm about out of fat, so I need to decide that before I have any Lipo. I have a little fat left in my thighs. Never thought I'd ever be worrying about not having enough fat, lol!

I completely agree!

Yes, I hope he is able to get enough to make it look like I have at least a resemblance of a rear end. If not, I will live with it, since I have no desire to actually have implants put in there, lol!

A bit more about me. I am a 47 mother of 3 grown children, last one by emergency c-section. Obviously I have had other surgeries, the open gallbladder, heart valve replacement and spleen removal. I completely understand this is not going to make the vertical 'stem-to-stern' incision vanish. It's more about the obnoxious overhang I have of my abdomen and the deflated boobs.

I am 5' 3.5", and 118 lbs. Highest weight was about 220 lbs before the heart surgery.

Pre-op photos, ugh! Bless one of my dear girlfriends for taking these hideous photos!

@@Think you don't look that bad and your thighs are great. I'll bet you have a really nice outcome. Are you getting an anchor cut? Safe surgery and speedy healing to you!

I agree, you've got a great starting point, and I think you'll be amazed at the results. Your thighs are better than mine after having 2.5 pounds of skin and fat cut off of each of them. Good luck, and can't wait to see how great you look!

      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.
