Dr Stacey[emoji40][emoji72]is an angel-she does heavenly work, what a beautiful work was done for you. I can see why you would want to travel 1/2way across the USA for her. Congratulations to you and her for a job well done![emoji106][emoji12]

She’s the best :). I was lucky enough to be living in Aurora Colorado when I had my surgery, and moved at about 8 weeks post op. If/when I can get my thighs done I will definitely travel back to her. I can’t thank her enough, and would recommend her to everyone!! [emoji173]️

This post moves me to tears. I am so close to being a normal weight, and I have been dreaming of having corrective plastic surgery on my body. And when you said you nearly cried when you saw your flat belly, I nearly cried! I'm really happy for you!




Me too ..... THIS whole post is making me cry .....

Me again ..... so nursejenny07... I am going to pm you and hopefully you can be my new bestie [emoji170]
I had Roux en y 13 years ago and ZERO problems ..... lost 160 lbs and kept it off all these years.
Dr Rumsfield is my hero at Scripps San Diego as Kaiser outsourced to Scripps in the "old days" and the kindest, most graceful Dr. I have ever met. He treated us as "normal" whether we were 500lbs or 120lbs.
SOOOOOOO I've met and interviewed what seems like a gazillion RECONSTRUCTIVE surgeons and love a few.
Due to life changes (and a wonderful divorce ;) ) I have still not had reconstruction. It's time.
So we just moved to Denver and I didn't want to start the search again ..... and miraculously perfectly I just found your post and am SO SO SO GRATEFUL ..... I will call Dr Folk today and get an appointment.
You are my hero, thank you so much for sharing such a detailed diary..... we're all terrified of this next stage and I'm sure you've helped so many people ..... [emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170][emoji170] 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Oh did I mention YOU LOOK GORGEOUS ... the difference is a work of art..... your Dr is a sculptor. [emoji170][emoji170][emoji170]

I think your body lift is the best I've ever seen, and I've looked at a LOT of before and after pics! In my case, I'm still pre-op but know my body will be a mess, as my skin already hangs badly. My apron is almost to my knees and in the last few years my pubic mound started enlarging, and now hangs between my legs as well. I guess I need to start saving now, because that 22K price tag is going to be difficult for me. Your pictures though, gave me hope that my body can look more "normal" in the future. Your work was fantastic!

      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.
