That seems ..... different In my countless hours of researching post bariatric plastics, it seems side boob is handle either with a breast lift (with or without augmentation) or with an upper body lift

Yeah, I wouldn't hesitate about $50. But the sum for these three surgeons consultation fees would be $750 ?

Now this part of your diet I could totally get behind ?

Look at you in clothes that are your proper size! ❤️?❤️ That outfit is very flattering, makes your legs look loooong!

I agree with this. I think my #1 & #2 choices don't charge fees because they are very confident in their work, as they should be from the pics and reviews they have online. But on the other hand, I do understand the surgeons who do charge fees. Their time is valuable, and it weeds out anyone who isn't truly serious about surgery.

And I wonder how many times it truly comes out of the blue vs. lurking under the surface prior to WLS.

I'm starting my plastics journey this week! Creating this thread as a place to gather my thoughts, and gather opinions as well. My priorities 1&2 - Tummy & Boobs 3 - Thighs 4&5 - Butt & Arms Specifics for each area Tummy - low & thin scar, natural looking belly button, and lipo/conturing to narrow my waist as much as possible Boobs - augmentation & lift, VERY important that my boobs look natural, thinking D cup with tear drop gummy bear implants Thighs - do not want a full thigh lift with long scars, so only a crescent lift, or as part of a lower body lift Butt - either a fat transfer (BBL) or buttock lift with a dermal fat flap as part of a lower body lift Arms - do not want a full arm lift with long scars, so only a crescent lift I reached out for consultations with 5 surgeons who specialize, or do a fair amount of surgeries on massive weight loss patients. I have #1 & #2 choices, and have consultations scheduled with both on Friday ? Interestingly neither of my top choices charge a consultation fee, but the three others do. I am seriously considering canceling my other consultations to see #1 & 2 first, before I invest up to $750 on consultation fees. Anyone have opinions if I should just see #1 & #2 first, or is it worth the investment in consultation fees to have more surgeons quotes? My #1 surgeon does lots of lower body lifts. I hadn't originally considered this because I'd rather not have the circumferential scar. But his results are amazing, and at least in the posted photos the scars are very thin. It may also be the only way I can get most of my wish list accomplished in one surgery. I have seen where he has done a lower body lift & a breast lift & augmentation in one surgery. That would only leave arms to tackle at some point later, if I still wanted them fixed. Here's an example of the work of my #1 surgeon

I have blended PP with protein powder & ice, for a not super delicious milkshake (but gets the protein job done!)

I could have written all of this

Agree with this. Save IF for later. For right now your restriction is in place, so work with that!

No microwave, no air fryer .... I would starve ?

Whatever and however, your body does not look like you've had massive weight loss (or a child)! ? Congrats, you look amazing!

Maintaing under 130, have walked 1+ miles 15/18 days this month. Took a nap yesterday! I sent several thank you emails this morning, I'm counting that as compliments. PC, iPhone & iPad. Yes, I'm also thoroughly tracked I'm certain. I use some mined data for work (not online tracking though), so I don't look at it as completely nefarious.

I do from time to time. Cooking for one gets me down, so these are a reasonably healthy alternative

Agree with this!

Same thing at UPS stores, for Amazon returns

Amazon returns are super easy ... I buy 95% of my clothes online (Macy's, Nordstroms, Target and Old Navy online returns are easy as well, that's about 95% of my wardrobe)

I have a striped pair in my Amazon cart ... we can be twins ?

Holy crap @ms.sss ? ? How on earth are your boobs so perky and tummy so flat and defined??? You've lost over 100 lbs, and you've had a child?? I'm literally speechless!

Come join team Palazzo! ?

Can't answer, sorry I only wear belts with dresses and tunics. Calling all fashionista to weigh in!

@ms.sss ... the gloves have been dropped .... ? (you look amazing @shanza ?)

Thanks! I do! Apparently my lunches are a thing in his office, people stop by to check out what he's brought ? This comment also made me think, and realize that I'm in a really good spot in my life right now. Outside of work, I don't do anything, for anyone, that is not appreciated

Man, I hate when a planned indulgence disappoints!
