I am - not sure if it will be in Vegas' date=' LA, or even Mexico for costs. Not sure what to start with. Thinking of a Tummy Tuck first. My boobs next, went from a DD to a B :-([/quote']

I have a connection in town which is the only reason I'm staying here. I'm going to need a full body lift. My goal us to lose half of my original weight, 184 pounds. My first step will be my arms and my breasts. :)

Anyone start thinking about having plastic surgery here in town? I still have a while to go before I'm ready but I'm already doing research!!

I had a TT before with Dr Brown (desert hills plastic surgery). I loved her. She was upfront about everything. Even tried to talk me out of one procedure I questioned. If I ever do anything in the future it would definitely be with her again.

Hey!! I'm doing well! My weight loss has slowed a bit, but I'm coming back from an injury so I'm not working out as hard. I definitely see better results when I eat clean (crazy how that works)!!

I weigh on Mondays and Thursdays... So as of Thursday in down 115 pounds. I want to lose a total of 184, which will put me at half my surgery weight. 69 pounds to go! My surgery was 3/4/13.

How are you doing???

I weight it once before and hope to go there again. How are you dealing w excess skin which is my main concern. I'm 45 and thinking my skin is not just gonna bounce back like it did in my 30's.... Any tips?? :)

I honestly don't have a whole lot of excess yet. My arms look awful in my opinion. They hang down and I can pinch the excess. I have a little in my thighs and stomach. I still have almost 70 pounds left to lose so I'm sure it'll be an issue later on.

Lotion is key. They also suggest you stay out of the sun.

I'm stoked you have a date! What an awesome Christmas present for you!! Who is your surgeon?

I have no problem posting my story if it will help others!! If you have an questions feel free to ask!!!

I have not gotten any diet requirement. I'm 5 weeks pre op.

You should have gotten a packet of what is okay to eat with examples during each stage of the post op. Let me know and I can pull my stuff out.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
