Was sleeved 9/13 looking into plastics-help?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I was sleeved in MX 9/2013 and I could not be more pleased. I started at 300lbs and am 185lb. I still have 30lbs to go and I am getting there. I walked a few times a week since the beginning but am now weight training. I am almost certain I will need Tummy Tuck, breast lift with implants and possibly a thigh lift.

It is the last thing I want but I have not come this far to not look my best.

I am self pay and would consider Mexico again if I found the right doctor. I find this surgery to be way more serious then the sleeve and I would do whatever I needed to do or go where I needed to find some one with skill. I

The scarring worries me and I have seen some pics with very nice scar lines. For example, I have seen tons of pics on realself for the thigh lift where the scar is down the inner thigh and then I have seen pics where the scar is in the groin area and the results look amazing.

Can anyone please recommend a doctor whom they love their results and post pictures. Thank you in advance for your input

Look up CowgirlJane on here. She had plastics in Mexico and looks amazing! I think she has pics on here and maybe also on RealSelf.

      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.
