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.

      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.
