@@bayougirlmrsc Thank you for all your help! I bought the Kotex yesterday. I have a new leg prop pillow, gel butt cushion, fabulous back ball heater massager thing for the back pain, huge body pillow, prune juice and smooth move tea lol! Plus lots of other junk! Oh and my fancy walker! I will be pumping my breaks all the way to the bathroom in style!! Beep beep!!! Oh and a shower chair.

@@mngreeneyes Thank you so much! I finally have something new to talk and obsess about! Pictures!!

@@CowgirlJane I never realized how painful they could be until I did some reading of stories. I won't get to stay in the hospital but she did give me a script for 4 mg dilaudid which if you didn't know is an extremely powerful narcotic. Stronger than morphine so I'm a little scared of it. She gave me 50! Plus Xanax for anxiety, antibiotics, nausea meds & muscle relaxers. I think I'm going to be knocked out!

@@Threetimesacharm I've already researched hers and they seem to be the round shape. I saw one she did 12 days ago and it was round. She said that people always remark about how great her belly buttons turn out. I will just be glad to see one. Mines been hidden in fat for years! Time to free the little sucker! Lol!

@@jane13 lol! I will work on getting that!! They say it can take 6 months to get some real results. It's a lot of swelling!

@@KindaFamiliar lol! Good! The naked fairy put a block on you! I'm almost sure of it. Sorry bout YOU!!! Anyway, it's not the most flattering picture of one holding their fat up so don't get too excited about it!

But I will share this with you! Everybody remarks that I don't look like I have any loose skin. Umm yes, yes I do. If I pull it all real tight you can see how small I really am under there. I will show you the real before later....stop looking at my nakedness Familiar!! I was never meant to be a big person. I'm praying she can get me flat!

@@KristenVSG2014 I will get some. I'm a open book. I want to wait until this is over first! So I never have to live this skin in real life again!

@@KindaFamiliar oh you will have your nasty bloody swollen pics, along with a bunch of crying and whining I'm sure.

@TheRealMeIsHere! Oh thank you! I'm hoping this will get me in some kind of exercising mood because I need to work on my thighs, arms and butt still! I'm trying to avoid anymore surgeries if possible.

@@Daisee68 Thank you so much! There's no "absolute results", no this is what you will look like. Makes it really hard to comprehend. It's terrifying but then I look at my belly now and it can be any worse than this!

@TheRealMeIsHere! Oh thank you!! Are those the newest pictures? How long ago did you have it done? Did they do muscle repair? I bought a Fajae (think that's how it's spelled? Anyway I got the smallest size they have and it isn't too tight. It's tight but I'm wondering it it's going to be tight enough? It's the smallest size they have so if not I guess I'm SOL? Sexy little number no? I actually like the way it feels. Not sure how it will be after though.

@@agalindo17 Thank you. I'm sure I will get some. It's not like I will have much else to do lol!!

@@KindaFamiliar Hey! Thanks! I'll be sure and update all the horrific pictures along the way!

@@WLSResources/ClothingExch I sure hope so! Time has flown by! I can't believe I'm already at the plastics part. It's crazy!

@@Julie norton Thanks for the tip! I watched a YouTube video of a woman showing a way to get out of bed and another said she tied a sheet to her lower bed frame so she could pull herself up with it. I've been given so ridiculously sting narcotics for after. I'm curious as to how that's going to go. Ugh! I just want it all over with!

@@2goldengirl Thank you!! I just didn't have much to say lately AND I've been working like crazy! Plastic surgery is NOT cheap!

Hello everyone! I know I've been MIA for awhile but I haven't really had any updating to do. I'm still managing the same weight. I'm trying not to lose at this point since my PS said not to. What I have been doing is obsessing over my cosmetic surgeries coming up. I'm having a tummy tuck with muscle repair and some breast stuff. Its consumed my entire life for the last month and now it's almost here. I'm not going to lie I'm terrified and just now starting to get a slight bit excited. Most people seem to be ecstatic about it. I hate the thought of the pain and whole long recovery period. The results are going to be worth it right? I've paid, I'm going. I woke up on the "losers side" last time and now I'm waking up on the "flat" side. If anyone has any before and after TT pictures they would like to share I would appreciate it! The hardest part of all of the research I've done is finding pictures of weight loss patients before and afters. I'm trying to find a belly that looks similar to mine. Ugh! Wish me luck! I need it.

We decided a fully TT & lift . I wil go back once healed for implants if I need to.

Thanks everyone. Still not sure at this point what I'm doing. I'm just going to go with my gut. I will be speaking with her tomorrow and I'm not worried about offending anyone at this point.

@@con con Yes, I'm having it done in our city. This has been the most agonizing experience of my life! I've contemplated this for hours and spend days reading and researching everything! I'm a different kind of case. Nothing's clear cut. So many options and not knowing the outcome of any of it until it's over is crappy! I'm not concerned with the TT. That's pretty standard . It's these boobs!!! I got different opinions from multiple surgeons and not one says the same thing. I've never stressed about a surgery so much in my life. VSG wasn't even this difficult of a process. I HATE it!!! All the fun and excitement has been demolished by unknowing and fear. I'm going back to talk with her on Tuesday. I have a lot of questions I need clear answers on before I fork over 12,450 bucks! Im less concerned with the money and more concerned with that happens to this body that I worked so hard to get right! My PS has a good reputation and has been a PS for 29 years but what she's saying is possible is NOT what other surgeons are saying. I'm running out of time because I need a full month off and I took all of April off. It has to be done then. I've taken a new potion at work so I won't have the luxury of taking a month off any time soon. That just adds more pressure to the situation.

Change of plans! I've decided I will go for a TT and lift. I don't want big saggy boobs! Could end up with "snoopy boobs" or "ball in sock" . Neither are cute. I'm going to stage it and do the TT and lift. Then go back in 6 months for a decent implant. 750 is just too big and causes too many issues.

@@bayougirlmrsc I hope so, Im praying over it!

I've changed my surgery date to April 4th so two days sooner, it works better with my husbands schedule. That will give me a full month of recovery and then I took a new position at work starting March! Game on!!!!

Moved my date up two days to April 4th! Perfect as it works better with my husbands schedule so I can have an extra day of his help!
