Excited for you! Had my boob lift done 3 years ago and can't imagine having my old deflated balloons...just had a TT 2 months ago and it's OK, not fabulous; maybe it will get better. Maybe next year my arms...it never stops...like remodeling a house!

I'm excited to see my balloons go away! Lol. Hopefully by the end of the year, I will have my belt lipectomy and possible implants. After your lift, did you stay the same size or were you smaller?

Definitely smaller! I am a nice full (but not large) size 36B and I love them. I did not want implants, I just wanted nice natural looking breasts and that's what I got. I was probably a 40 or 42 D or DD or who knows when I was heavy. I couldn't walk around without a bra even when I just got out of bed...I hated it. And I didn't want to worry about blouses not closing all the way at my bust line. Very happy with my decision. As my doctor said..."you have enough material to work with!!!"

@@kealot Yay!!! I just had some work done. Let me know how the arms go, I'm still debating that. I'd have to find the absolute best surgeon in the US for that particular surgery since the scars are outwardly visible. I love my PS but I don't know if she does that or not. If I have another Surgery that would probably be it. Scar placement is everything for me. Good luck, I hope you have a speedy recovery!!!

How exciting! I also had brachioplasty and a breast augmentation/lift done at the same time (December) and had a pretty uneventful recovery. Not being able to lift my arms above my head for three weeks kind of stunk, but other than that, it went well. Best of luck to you!

      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.
