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 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. 🤞
