Sadie's PS journey



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Edinburgh, Scotland on 02.02.08. To date I've lost 115lbs!

Tomorrow is the start of the PS journey at long last. I'm starting off with a mastopexy. I'm being admitted at 7.30am tomorrow and should be out on Wednesday at 10.30am. No drains will be used either, great! At the biggest I was a size 44 G/H, now I'm a 36E but I've lost a lot a of breast tissue and the Plastic Surgeon reckons I'll be either a 36B/C. I'm not bothered about implants, been there with the big chest, don't want them again! DH is more of a butt man anyway! I'm sure he would rather I was having butt implants as this has disappeared too.

Anyway, I can't wait until tomorrow and hopefully I'll have either an extended Tummy Tuck or belt lipectomy scheduled for Jan/Feb possibly with an arm lift too.....:frown:

I'll update with progress soon.....

Thank you for all your kind thoughts! I appreciate it.

Well, I'm back home now, all done and dusted! I was taken into the operating room around 10.20am and was all done by 1pm. Everything went extremely well, I am really pleased with them. The Surgeon, Mr Hamilton, was fantastic. He's going to do the rest of my surgery too hopefully.

I have no drains in and no dressings either. I have stitches around the nipples that are to be removed next Friday.

My DH is amazed by them, he's only seen the saggy ones! The kids say I look slimmer too! From getting on the scales to morning of surgery until today (2days) it looks like I've lost 6lbs! Granted I haven't ate that much, but I'm dying to know how much came off the boobs! I must ask next week....

Anyway, will pluck up courage to post pics soon (my sister didn't believe the after pics were mine!)

Sadie :wink2:

      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. 🤞
