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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
