wow! Thank You so much for sharing! you are inspiring!

Hey all! I'm 3.5 years out from gastric sleeve and I haven't stopped into these forums for a while.

I've been putting off plastics because my life is a blur time-wise, but I'm getting married in May and would like to reap the benefits of the brachioplasty for my wedding dress, since my arms are always my biggest point of insecurity. They've always been disproportionate, and even more so now that I lost the weight. I also wanted a Tummy Tuck and LBL, but we want to try for kids right away, so I'll deal with that down the road if ever.

Well, I pulled the trigger and did it!! Tuesday was my surgery down in Monterrey, Mexico for arms and legs.

It wasn't easy. I came by myself and I've had a lot of self doubt about doing this, feeling vain and selfish taking a risk that could possibly take me away from my fiance and family. I cried going into the OR. But, I'm on day 4 of recovery and every day is a little easier. I don't want to talk about Wednesday and Thursday, that was my lowest point. But, having the nurse come in and assist me with changing my bandages and showering, and finally unwrapping the results really gave me a mental boost.

All in all he took a little less than he had marked for my legs, a whole inch more than he'd marked for my arms, and a full 3 liters of fat from liposuction. I'm very pleased with the results. Feel free to look at the attached photos, ask questions, tell me your thoughts. Thanks BP fam!

Has anyone been highly disappointed or regret plastic surgery? Why?

Has anyone tried using weight lifting/muscle strengthening for a better look for your loose skin? How well does it work? how long does it take to notice a better look if u go semi aggressively, and what amt of weight is good for muscle building?

Thank you

Thank you so much I needed to hear this

Thank you

Has anyone fibro blasting for skin tightening? How did it work and r u willing to share pics?

Does anyone have a great program for building lean muscle mass? I want to make my skin look better but I don't want to get huge.

Does anyone mind sharing their total cost for mexico surgery? I want to do lower and upper body? Also would love to hear about experience and down time.

go to your tattoo artist and see what they can come up with, something to Celebrate your new health and life!

Ok graphic n gross but I guess this is the post to ask about LOL! Mine doesn't stick out or bulge but it looks weird, I noticed when I was walking it felt like there was a gap down between my legs, looking in the mirror the 2 sides of my womanhood don't meet together anymore, there is a gap between the 2 sides n it looks weird. Would the lower body lift help this? I have been researching and really don't know how to pay for all the plastics it's crazy expensive. anyone tried any other skin tightening alternatives that helped?

This sounds so very hard for you! I hope you are feeling a bit better now. Focus on you and your journey and your overall health and don't worry about what other say ( incredibly hard ) Be true to yourself, give yourself positive reinforcements about how great you are doing! Try some mindful meditation too.

Stay strong! Focus on your better health and better things to come for you! Try using some mindful meditation. Kepp praising yourself daily for all your hard work and accomplishments!

Has anyone tried any non invasive skin tightening? What was it? Did it help? Was it cheaper than surgery?

Has anyone tried laser tightening or any type of non invasive tightening? Did it work? Is it cheaper than actual surgery?

Yes! Bad relationships usually end in splitting! Strong ones will thrive and you will be closer!

Oh no I'm sorry, it is a time full of major changes! My relationship has gotten better (I"M 10 mos out) but He goes to all support meetings and participated and tries to really learn. Tell him that you don't want this to hurt your relationship and that you would like him to come with you, and learn about what people go through, and how things change. Tell him you want to change and grow with him by your side.
