I Want To See Before & After Pics!



Recommended Posts

Stunning. Are you planning on getting plastics? Your new photo doesn't look like you'd need it' date=' but just curious. What a difference.[/quote']

I am scheduling a lower body lift for June. I hide my skin very well. Going to do the whole shebang and get my arms, legs, and breasts also. Insurance is paying for my lower lift. Waiting to hear about my arms and legs.

I just went through all 31 pages of this thread and still want to see more! You're all sooo inspiring. I love how the eyes pop open in all the 'after' photos (I hate how my cheeks make my eyes look small when I smile). I'll know my surgery date by the end of the week, looking at all the before & after pics has made me all the more excited/anxious. I can't wait to be able to post my pics in this thread. Congrats to you all!

May Kelley, what "reason" did you give for needing it so that it was approved by insurance?

I didn't. My plastic surgeon wrote a letter and I was approved. I never imagined that insurance would cover it without major issues and documentation.

I'M SOOOO THANKFUL FOR MY SLEEVE!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
