My plastic surgery was today!
I had it done by Dr. Kara in Scarborough, Ontario. He did a lower body lift with fleur de lis Tummy Tuck, muscle repair and lipo!! He is absolutely wonderful. So caring and was literally excited to transform me!!
Surgery lasted 7 hours and he removed 10lbs of skin and fat!!!
I'm doing well, haven't moved yet, so we'll see how that goes in an hour or two. Otherwise pain is good. I actually feel better then after my RNY!
Anxious to get to see something, but certainly not in a rush.
Very sleepy, I'll update more later

Here you go....
  

197 :-)

Forgot to make an update here...they actually took 15lbs of skin. Here are
Some picture from just before surgery to next day.

Ok here is one pic from yesterday and today. Transformations are happening before my eyes!! My butt still looks really weird, and man does this lovely tummy make my boobs the next priority.

It was supposed to be outpatient, but I couldn't arrange a ride home today, I live an hour and a half away from the hospital, so they are letting me stay over!! And no additional cost [emoji2] So glad. I think outpatient is strange for this much work.

Thank you!! One more pic to....I can't stop taking pictures :-)

I had Lap-band to RYN surgery on October 4, 2016 at 292lbs. This week I weighed in at 200lbs.
Down 92lbs!

So I confirmed yesterday that I'm having a lower body lift with fleur de lis Tummy Tuck and Lipo on Tuesday. I'm freakin out!
I meet with a couple of plastic surgeons and have been doing my research. I went back to one for more information and they had a cancellation for Tuesday. At first I was like no way, Tuesday and then I thought man this might actually work better for me. I'll be full time at school this fall and would otherwise have to wait till January. Plus my husbands schedule is more flexible right now.
I can't believe this is really happening!
I have to get the following:
- depends to help with leakage from stitches and those pad things to put on my lazy boy for protection
- land yards to hold drains
- rent a walker and shower chair
- compression socks (they provide compression garments)
- groceries so we have food over the next week
Any other suggestions??
I'll be one night at hospital.

So I've had many non surgery victories along the way but had to share this one... Forgot my bathing suit while meeting my hubby over at my parents house for a hot tub (they were out of town) and stopped in at Giant Tiger at 7:55 when they closed at 8. They had bathing suit tops and bottoms on sale for $7 each. Grabbed an XL bottom and a size 14/D top and got out of there before they closed.
Here is comes....they fit perfectly!
Never in my life have I bought a bathing suit in the regular sizes with out trying it on and it fits!!
Loving life
I've lost 92lbs and I'm 1 pound away from onederland

I'm down 93 lbs and currently in onederland! I really only want to lose another 15lbs or so. Weight loss is slower, but still coming off.
 

197! :-)
Slow and steady is fine by me.
Went to a family reunion yesterday and every single person complemented me on how awesome I looked!!
And it got cold out and I fit into my hubby's size L pullover sweater.
Sometimes my head still doesn't see the weight loss.
95lbs and counting.

Awesome job!! I'm in the same boat. I have a plastic surgery consult on Aug 8!

Today's weight...198!!
Can't believe onederland is here to stay! Never been under 200 in my adult life!!

I drink Diet Pepsi but half as much as I used to and slowly. Doesn't seem to bother me A little spice rum in there too. Everything in moderation!
