    What about a laser? Botox is great for the 11s and the forehead lines, but I don't think it's all that great for other stuff - and especially for sagging. But some of the modern lasers are pretty intense. When I get to the age when some sort of intervention is appropriate, I'm totally going for laser over anything else. Plus unlike a lot of the surgical stuff, the odds of you looking deformed after (think Joan Rivers) are pretty much 0.

    BBJ is botox just for the 11s and forehead wrinkles? Becuz i am blessed I did not have any and I don't have crows feet..... yet. Just the laugh lines and dreaded turkey neck. Will laser work on these areas and does the dermatologist do it?

    OK here's the skinny (pun intended). For a 52 yr old overweight woman my face as always been fairly decent looking. No wrinkles, no sagging skin no nothing. Which of course some peeps assumed I was younger than I was. Which I loved. Who wouldn't???

    Now...... can I please stop losing weight on my face becuz to me I look old and haggard. My face is NOW SAGGING.:( I have laugh lines. I am not amused!!!! Are there any exercises I can do or will Botox help? What about Juvederm??? A face lift is out of the question becuz I am saving my money for the boobs. This is one 52 yr old woman who gonna have some nice boobs. LOL.:rolleyes:

    It is kinda weird that there are so many variables. But like stated earlier it's the surgeon's choice. It's what's working for them.

    In my case my surgeon had me on a two week liquid pre-op diet. I was in the hospital for one day and had a drain, but it was taken out before I left the hospital. I had two leak tests. One right after the surgery and one the next day.

    I am glad I was in the hospital for at least one day becuz the nurses monitor your vitals every 2 to 4 hours and I felt if anything went wrong right after surgery what better place to be than at the hospital. As it was the nurses checking my vitals and drawing blood discover my potassuim levels were to high. They quickly got that under control.

    Good luck...... YOU WILL LOVE YOUR SLEEVE. Best thing I could have done for and to myself.

    Baby girl it seems you are having some tough times. It sounds like you are DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT. I'm sure someone with a similar experience will chime in to help. I just want to offer my support and tell you we are here for you.

    When is the next time you go for your post op appointment? Maybe your doc can give some suggestions.

    Baby girl, don't be so hard on yourself. Just like Nannydeb2 said we are ALL here for the same reason. I like it when peeps have profile pics. You seem more real to me. If you don't put up a pic I think most us will understand. It took me a few days to put mine up.:D

    Good luck with your surgery approval!!!!
