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!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
