I met with the best Plastic Surgeon today. I thought I would need a lower body lift but she said I looked really good and she could do an extended Tummy Tuck. She also recommended a lower thigh lift, breast lift with augmentation and my arms. She said she didn't have to make a complete incision to my elbow on the arms and just a small one under my arm pit. I was very happy with that. She sent me home with brochures on breast augmentation. I am a little nervous about that. I will know later in the week if my insurance will cover any of it. I am 12 lbs away from having surgery. She wants me to be 20 lbs from goal. Julie

Hi Julie:

Please keep me posted on your progress through the PS process. I'm very interested in all of it and hope to be ready for it a year from now, both physically and financially. My guess is I'll be physically ready, but not fiscally. Isn't that what 401k's are for? I'll be broke and attractive and get myself a sugar daddy - LOL!

Thanks for sharing the details.

Sue

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
