    Oh, Just Another Plastics Story pt 2

    Since this summer is probably going to be *complicated* and I didn't think i would get to fully enjoy it, I decided to finish (for now) my plastics journey. Initially i lost weight during quarantine by following a few exercise routines. Muscle tone was improving but looking in the mirror i was not satisfied with how my skin was laying on my body. I realized i didn't need to be thinner but tighter and after major weightloss or WLS, major skin tightening is nearly impossible to do with surgical intervention. I decided i also want a fuller rounder behind after all to look more balanced. I decided that i NEEDED a BBL. So I set on the very hard 😂path to gain about 10-15 lbs. My surgeon reminded me of our earlier conversations about mt skin laxity and refused to give me just a BBL without skin lifting /removal. He even warned me that i didn't even have enough choice fat (abdominal stubborn fat) for it anyway, My problem was excess thick skin 😒 We moved ahead with the back lift with some minor fat transfer and he was right. My results are transformative. I need to stay at my higher weight for a few months in order to allow the fat that was transfered an opportunity to live and grow. But i honestly look better now that 15lbs ago and my clothes still all fit the same, mostly. Apparently loose skin is a drag on your clothes sizing.

    I mostly feel bored with eating, sometimes it feels like the VSG full pressure and sometimes it feels like everything could come back up with one more bite.

    Somethings move through quicker than others. I find eating very very slowly, not just chewing a lot but also stepping away from my meals to do other things helps measure my fullness. Unfortunately my full, filled or satisfied sensation comes around 15 to 18 mins after eating. Quite annoying really 😒

  12. IMHO... Listen to your surgeon. GERD *may* get worse then you'll end up with a bypass anyway. Good Luck ❤
  13. Welcome Back Kat ❤ Seems like you've done everything you can... Time to reach out to the Doctor especially with vomiting and pain. Let us know how it goes !
