I have not discussed my PS with Dr Spivak either.Actually I have not seen him since surgery:wink2: I went to the surgery center to have my fills and never requested him because I never had any problems,and being a nurse I try and stay away from the Doctors:rolleyes2:I will go see him in March because I want my free year of fills for reaching goal just incase I may need them down the road. I live near Beaumont so I am not familiar with vey many Houston Docs.Good luck tommorrow!

:wink2::biggrin::Dancing_biggrin: I just noticed my ticker...it is now in days and not months!!!:biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Hi Lynn..Have you heard anything bad about Dr Adam:huh2: I probably should have interviewed more surgeons but the person that recommended him also had 3 or 4 friends that also used him and they were all happy.Plus he was Super nice, spent tons of time with me, and made me feel very comfortable. And the price was reasonable. You are lucky to live in Clear Lake..it is so pretty there. I will keep you updated!!

I am just SUPER excited.Not nervous yet.I keep looking at all the clothes I will get to buy!!!!My mom said I was obsessed over it because that is all I talk about:rolleyes2:I try not to talk about it much with my husband because he thinks I am fine how I am ...yeah right! He just says I am "super soft" now.LOL

HarleyNana.....Congrats! I can't wait to be in your shoes!!!!!! Keep us udated

Be Safe and keep us updated Nina!

Mine did not know pre-band but as soon as I was the same weight as him I could not wait for him to see the scale...now I am 40lbs under him:whoo: Never thought I would see the day!

I do not plan on getting an unfill.Of coarse I have not asked about it either(nurses are the worst patients) I love my fill and I do not want to mess with it!!!!

Great idea..I am having tummy tuck,lipo of the waist,thighs,back and side boobies LOL,and Breast lift(already have implants)

Best of luck.Feb is a good month;)

I just thought I would update my post with some before pictures.Warning do not eat before looking!!!!!!LOL My Muffin over my size 8 jeans The road map!!! I have a hidden tattoo somewhere under there that years ago was a flower,now it has a strech marks through it and looks like a frog! Bent over view.This is soooo humiliating! EWWWWW!!!

AMAZING!!!!!! You look great!

I have the perfect fill..I can eat any meat as long as I chew,chew,chew but i can't eat bread.And I use will power to try and stay away from junk!

4 !!!!! By Christmas...my present to me!!

Dr Todd Adams in Webster.When I had breast Aug in 2000 I had heard great things but he was higher priced than I could pay at the time.So unfortunatly I went with someone else.Then I had a patient that had a Tummy Tuck by Dr Adams and said she was 100% pleased and several of her co-workers had used him also.He has a wonderful bedside manner,GEORGEOUS office and nice staff.He left me with avery good impression so I booked!!! Plus I think the price is great!!

Thanks guys! You both have been inspiring!

Hello,I do not post much because I am the slowest typer in the world! But I am totally inspired by all the threads and pictures.I thought I would start my own for one because I am so Freakin excited and two I hope to help anyone else that is looking into plasic surgery.I went for my consult yesterday and I have an Appt for Feb 22cd!!!! I had lapband in March/07 with a starting weight of 226 (5' 6").I am now down to 150...5lbs from goal.He said I would lose another 10lbs with surgery!!!! I am having a full extended tummy tuck.Lipo of the thighs,hips and back.Also a breast lift,I had augmentation in 2000 but have breastfed two kids since then .So now I basically just have big boobs hanging south!My cost is $11,200.I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!! I have always had a stomach even before I got heavey so I can't even begin to imagine what a flat stomach feels like! I am not shy so I will definitaly post before and after pictures.He said I will have to go home with a foley for two days and drains for two weeks.My husband and I are both nurses so we will be fine with that.I just wanted to share and hope I help someone along the way......~Amy~

I felt the exact same way!! I read all the post about it getting better and i thought to myself "yea right" But I am living proof that it DOES get better.This is coming from a junk food overeating junkie!!

I can not wait for the day that someone calls me "SKINNY"!!!!:biggrin1::biggrin1::biggrin1:

Thank You:D

Another Nurse here! I have been a RN for 11yrs.I work one night a week in Labor & Delivery and stay home with my 3 kids the rest of the time.When it is not a full moon, work is actually a braek for me! LOL! I was banded in March and just made an appt today for a Tummy Tuck consult on Dec 13th!!!!

My favorite moment has been in the dressing room when I grabed a size 16 jeans and they fell off so I get a 14 and they are still to big! I ended up walking out with a size 11 and it will not be long until I have to downsize again!!!

Ok,my suggestions are HORRIBLE.But I am very picky so it is hard for me to eat healthy ALL the time!! I have 3 kids so we are on the go ALOT.I have had luck with Jack N The Box Tacos,Or the chicken sandwich(I eat just the chicken).Also chicken nuggets.My absolute FAVORITE is the boneless terriaki(SP?) chicken wings from Kentucky Fried Chicken!!! My healthier favorite is Subway Tuna salad. When I start to feel guilty,I think now.....one taco vs then...two tacos,curly fries and a large coke!!! LOL

In a heartbeat! This has been the best money I have ever spent!!!!

Congrats:whoo:It is an Awesome feeling!!!
