okies, went in today filled out some paperwork talked to the nurse about what I wanted / what I expected etc.

Met the Dr. he seems like a nice guy, much more chatty than my band Dr lol.

Anyhoo, he looked at me said he wouldn't do a Mini Tummy Tuck on me! Said I didn't need it and he wouldn't scar me over it. He did say Lipo in tummy upper tummy trunk (thighs) and my arms instead of the arm surgery. He said Arm hanging fat is hard to get off after Weight loss and I was so young and my skin still has alot of tone in it that I should be fine w/ alot of lipo lol and wearing a supresion garment for 2 weeks.

About my breast he said to wait until after the lipo to get my breasts done and a basic breast lift would be great for me and it would take me down a size DDD to DD which is fine w/ me :)

On my donation site the goal was set to 12k the est given today was 14k for it all. So that pretty darn near what I first est. I've already received on 10.00 donation and have made almost 35.00 in ad clicks :) , So I'll at the ad click money to the donation pot once they send out a check.

So long story short I went expecting pricing on a tummy tuck and breast lift est 12k, and left with the est. for a basicly full body lipo and breast lift 14k.

I guess I am happy he didnt think I needed a tummy tuck, I'm not big on scars. I was really hopeful when he said my arms shouldn't need surgery just lipo, cause to me they are the worst grossest thing on me :)

Anyhoo now I have to go re-type my website and tell people what I just told you! :D basicly the $ still goes to my body make over just not cutting on 3 area I orig. thought.

Thanks for caring guys~ I was really nervous this morning.

My mom is now nervous I guess its that "My baby wants surgery, and she had her consult" mama fear lol.

Anyways Thanks for your thoughts!

I need to go update my blog and website.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
