Need Some Advice, Please!!!

Mariposa Bella · June 8, 2005

Hi everyone, I need your advice. Well this is my dilema, I am now averaging at 156-159 lbs depending on what I eat that day and I was planning on having my tt at the end of this month. I had set a goal of 145 lbs for myself, (I felt I would deserve my tt if I worked hard at it). Well, I am not even close to hitting my goal weight and am faced with a problem.. I had already arranged for the time off work and all. The ps believes that with the tt and Lipo I'm getting I will be at goal once all the swelling is gone and I heal up. So do you think I should go ahead and have my tt, without getting to my goal weight? Or should I wait, cause if I wait to get to goal, I won't be abel to take the time off work, as this is the slow time around here. I am also concerned that I will spend the money I have saved up for my plastic surgery. So please give me your opinion on this matter. If I go ahead and go get my procedures, the surgeon will fix my port (since its flipped) at no additional cost. If I don't decide to get the surgery I'll have to have my port stitched into place here, because it is really starting to hurt from where its really pressing against my skin. So I'm probaby better off going ahead with the tt, right??? I'm so confused, should I wait, or go ahead. Help me out in making my decision. My husband is no help, he says he supports anything I decide, but he doesn't want to give me his opinion, cause he says no matter what he tells me he is always wrong. So its up to you guys to give me your 2 cents worth.

Tks,

Last night I went to hear a plastic surgeon talk who does surgery on patients with significant weight loss. I can't remember the specifics but I'm guessing that what your surgeon removes will get you to goal.

Since this is your opportunity to take time off work and everything, I say go for it!!! And let us know that you are doing okay.
