My Journey Begins



Recommended Posts

I FINALLY MADE AN APPT. WITH PLASTIC SURGEON FOR MY 1ST CONSULT. I WOULD LIKE SURGERY THE FIRST WEEK OF JUNE. I AM EXCITED AND SCARED AND NERVOUS. I THINK EVERY EMOTION HAS COME OUT. HAVEN'T EVEN HAD APPT. YET AND I AM ALREADY STRESSING AND LOSING sleep. MY APPT. IS MAY 5. THERE ARE SOOO MANY QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS. I AM PLANNING ON A BREAST LIFT AND Tummy Tuck, AND WOULD LOVE Lipo OF THE ARMS. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE DOCTOR AND FIGURE OUT WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE. I DO KNOW THAT THE PRICE FOR TT AND BREAST LIFT IS JUST BELOW $12,000 WHICH IS AWESOME. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE HAD A TUMMY TUCK, HOW BAD IS THE FIRST WEEK? ALSO DID THE SCAR FREAK ANYBODY OUT. I THINK THAT IS MY BIGGEST FEAR RIGHT NOW.

Hi Sweety, I have my TT and thigh lift on 4/21 which is really soon. You got a really good price. I live in CA and I think the malpractice insurance is really expensive. My TT and Lipo was $11,500 without a breast lift. He quoted me $10k for the lift with implants. Julie

Hi Sweety, I'm both nervous and excited. I had my doctor prescribe me some valium to take the edge off the day of surgery. He also gave me an anti naseau medication so I don't get sick from the anasteastia. I'll post some pics soon on my other site.

wow Julie, You Are A Week Away. How Are Ya Holding Up? I Am Excited For You. I Can't Wait For My Consultation. I Would Like To Have The Fat Sucked Out Of My Arms, But Not Sure How Much Extra That Is Going To Cost. Anyway, You Are In My Thoughts. Take Care.

Hi Sweety, yes 6 days away tomorrow. I have gained about 7 lbs with my unfill, yikes. I can't wait to get my restriction back! I am getting really excited though.

      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?
