Those are the two things I want, especially the breast lift. Although I'm not sure what exactly that surgery entails. I'm not interested in implants. But my boobs hang down, one points down. Can someone describe the breast lift surgery to me. I'll be 63 in January, not sure if this is a silly thing to do.

Is your insurance paying for these

No. My insurance didn't even pay for my medically necessary IUD. I've gotten used to ignoring them and paying out of pocket.

Basically they cut completely under the breast and up and around the nipple. They move the nipple to a higher location and close the bottom removing the excess skin. Mine will be a bit more extensive because of the sheer amount of excess skin along with existing tissue, they are going to create a sling for my tissue so it has a normal appearance.

Tummy Tuck will be a vertical tummy tuck. Lots of cutting.

Congratulations! This is an exciting time for you! I am scheduled for a TT and inner thigh lift on December 29th. My preop in December 3rd, so I am beginning to formulate my list of questions and collecting pictures of results that I do and do not want! Best of luck to you!

I have two bags packed - one to take with me for surgery and one to leave at my parent's where I will staying for two weeks to recover. I took some Soup over there yesterday and put it in the freezer so I'd have easy meals to access. I also ordered a ton of Premier Protein and shipped it to their house so I can have it for Breakfast and/or a snack. I'm going to try to get at least 80 grams of Protein a day while recovering.

Today I'm straightening the house, getting a pedicure and tonight I bathe with special soap. Tomorrow I'm supposed to wash with the special soap again at night.

Monday morning I'm supposed to take another shower with the soap, put on cotton panties and loose clothing and be at the surgery center at 6:45. Let's get this thing done!!! I'm so ready.

      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.
