I'm excited to see my balloons go away! Lol. Hopefully by the end of the year, I will have my belt lipectomy and possible implants. After your lift, did you stay the same size or were you smaller?

I finally have my date and time for surgery! I'm so excited and can't wait!! 4/21/16 @ 9am! Good bye bat wings and saggy boobs!!!! Lol

I am located in Houston, TX. I haven't had cosmetic surgery yet, but I am scheduled for my first on on 4/21. I am having mine broken up into 3. Breast list, sides under my arms and my arms for 1st surgery. Lower 360 body lift/belt lipectomy for 2nd surgery. Thighs for 3rd surgery. My surgeon said that many people do the belt lipectomy 1st because you get more bang for your buck, but since my bat wings and breast bother me more, I'm doing that one 1st.

Thanks for all he input and suggestions! The garment I have to get are separate. A bra and then sleeves. I should probably get the lower body lift done first because I know I will lose more skin/fat, but my arms and boobs are what really bother me. I won't wear short sleeves and with it getting summer and living in the Houston, TX area, it will be hot and humid and long sleeves are not going to cut it!

Thanks! I am definitely not going to forgo what he is telling me for comfort! I have followed everything and done everything that I was suppose to before/during/after my sleeve surgery and I'm not going to stop now! Lol

Thanks for the suggestions. My surgeon is requiring Contourmd compression garments.

Thanks everyone. Yes CowgirlJane, my dr will give me this information, but I wanted first hand knowledge of women who have actually had it themselves, since I know he hasn't. Lol. Thankfully I have a very sweet and caring husband who is going to take at least a week off (well actually he's going to work from home) in case I need anything. I was thinking 4 weeks on weight restrictions was a good estimate. I'm excited to have this done and get rid of my wings and saggy boobs! Lol

I'm tentatively scheduled for 4/21 for these surgeries. I was just wondering what everyone's down time was. How long do I need to plan on someone to be able to assist in day to day activities, etc? Thanks in advance.

My Dr is requiring me to purchase ContourMD garments for post op. If you want I can look and give you the exact one.

His name is Dr Freet. He assist his residency students in the surgery. The ones he currently has have been in cosmetic residency for 8 years and are graduating in the next few months.

Contourmd garments maybe?

I'm having brachioplasty, and breast lift done next month sometime for $5700 here in Houston, TX. I've also asked about the 360 lower body lift and leg lift also. Total for everything is going to be just under $17,000!

This is more than 100# but here you go. Before 385 After 205

So sorry that you had a bad experience. I was sleeved in Houston TX with Dr Scaroborugh at TLC Surgery. If you want to message me, I can let you know the price I paid. I had nothing but a positive experience and he does what they call a single incision.

Congrats! It is definitely life changing! Best of luck to you!

Congrats! I hit Onederland this morning also!!

Thanks everyone! Yes the feeling is amazing!!!

I am FINALLY in Onderland!!! This is the first time since....I don't know when! I am BEYOND excited! I had been at a stall at 201-203 for a month! i

Congrats

I tell them that I changed my eating habits and started working out.

Thanks you! Yes I started exercising about 2 month after surgery. 30 lbs in a month is really good. It takes time to loose 100 lbs, but you can do it.

???? Thanks everyone! It has definitely been a journey!

I regretted it the first week after surgery, but now my biggest regret is that I didn't do it sooner!
