I had a lift done on 8/8/13 and I am more than pleased. I only took 1/2 of pain pills prescribed for a day or so. Absolutely the easiest surgery I've ever had. Now for implants and TT in November...

I was there on Nov 22. We ate at the Lucerna the night b4 surgery and had an awesome meal. After that we stayed at the hospital the whole time. and only went at the hospital edges to a couple pharmacies. The cafe in hotel was awesome for my husband and son....

Well, I had the same thoughts as you and went back and forth. In the end, my desire for a change and knowing this was the only way I was going to get it. So, I went for it. I'm currently almost 2 weeks out Thursday and feel great. I've been sticking to the plan and have lost over 10 pounds already. hope it continues. it's all a personal decision, just do your homework and know what your getting into... best wishes, Traci

I'd love to go back for follow-up but don't think i want to make that long journey again. Are you guys far away or close to Mexicalli?

I went to Dr Aceves... Traci

Hi Melody, i'm from Ok and was just down at Mexicalli last week. I don't think you have to worry much about scarring unless you get an infected one or you keloid or something (which I do in some areas), I can already tell 4 places will be almost impossible to find and the only one that may be noticed is where the drain was. Your dr may not even use a drain, so there ya go... Good luck to you...

there is a thread for sleevers that started under 200 pounds, look for it.

i'm hypothyroid and been so since 2002..we can keep up with each others progress as my date is 11-22-12. best wishes

thanks, can't believe its a week away. trying to get last minute stuff here ready. i'm really ready for this change, my old ways disgust me... best wishes

I'd like to join as well. I'm the 22nd (thanksgiving day), i really don't care about missing the meal as well, i've had enough of all the Holiday Stuffing (literally) ha...

best wishes and keep us posted...

i hear ya, I'll be there on the 22nd.... Traci

slojo, awesome..you've done very well in the two months. I hope to follow in those shoes soon, Nov 22nd. I need some help or i'm doomed to the fate of chubster forever- its just this summer I finally realized that without some major help, i'm never gonna be what I want to be, and thats thin for once in my life... best wishes, Traci

add me to list Nov 22 with Dr Aceves.... thanks
