Tummy tuck, brachioplasty (arms) and breast lift/augment. Never thought in my life I'd need an augmentation, but lost my 44DDD's!

You look amazing. I am still a 36 D. The dr told me I only need a lift but to be honest. I am thinking a reduction to a b or c and small implants to fill the skin out.

Thanks!

Yeah before plastics I was at a 32L (long) I used to joke! But strangely I wore the same size bra before and after--32DDD. When I rolled em up and stuffed them in they filled it out and after the small implants did.

I think it depends on what you are the most self conscious about. For me the order in which I would rate things is arms, thights, tummy, boobs

I'm still early in the game. However my arms don't seem too bad, I think some toning will sufficient for them but only time will tell. If I do have ps I'd like Tummy Tuck, bbl if I lose what God gave me after this, and I already have breasts that nursed 5 babies, so wouldn't mind lifting them. I am noticing though that my thighs are quite big. I guess I would say in this order for me... tummy, thighs, but, boobs, arms, work my way up lol

Possibly the panni if it's covered by insurance. My only dream surgery would be a neck lift but my sister had that done (Lifestyle lift) and spent 3 months sleeping in a recliner and still has a pulling feeling behind her ears. My dream is to retire early and travel the country with my husband in our Airstream. I look good in clothes and he loves me no matter what so I'm not going to blow my retirement money on plastic surgery.

I am saving up for a Tummy Tuck and a boob lift. I think that is all I will need. I want a flat stomach and my boobs where they belong.,

I could see doing arms, since sleeveless shirts and dresses are da bomb.

My boobs are fine, since they're stuffed in a bra all the time anyway.

My tummy only matters if I start developing sores.

My thighs might become a major problem area. I'm still only halfway to goal, so hard to say for sure.

So I'll vote arms and legs...

Ok I have a question. Asked in a separate thread but didn't get a response. Is it true that slow losers are less likely to need plastics? Anyone know?

Skin "bounces back" to a certain extent (for want of s better work. To the extent that there is elasticity left. If you are a slow loser it's doing t little by little as you lose and keeping pace. If you lose fast it has to catch up as if were, at the end. That's one of the reasons most surgeons ask you be al a stable goal weight for 6 months before plastics. To see how much of the skin recovers. Your skin will come back based on genetics, age, weight, ethnicity and how long you were overweight. It will come back to the same extent regardless
Of speed it's just if you get it all along or have to wait for it to catch up.

      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.
