Things I Want.....



Recommended Posts

So im almost 4 months out from surgery and almost to my personal goal.

I see my body changing in ways I dont like. I really want a TT, breast lift , my arms done and Brazilian butt lift.

When do you start checking into this?

I am young and have not had children yet, would you wait?

From what I have read on here most people wait till about a year out before they get surgery so maybe should start to look into plastics in about another 6 months at least...you wnt to be at maintenance first from what I understand...good luck on whatever you chose

i personally plan on waiting until after kids! They change your body completely and I would hate to have had all that work done to have my body change on me again but thats just my personal opinion :) Good luck in whatever you choose and congrats on your weight loss

Our surgeon recommends 1 1/2 years.

I'm 10 months out now and plan to start visiting surgeons at the end of this year (between a year& a yr 1/2 out). I'm wanting breast lift w/ implants & TT first (possibly lower body lift). Then later arms and thighs done. I also don't have children (and don't plan on having any anytime soon- maybe 6-10 years from now). I figured I deserve to look like a "normal" person for the rest of my 20's for sure. lol

Sometime being young has its advantage. The elasticity and collagen in the skin is much better when you are younger. Give it a little time before you decide to have plastic surgery. A lot of your skin might just go back into place with time. A Tummy Tuck will pull your stomach skin tight and also repair your loose ab muscles. However, a baby needs room to grow, which might stretch your skin again, cause stretch marks and ruin all of that beautiful surgery you have paid so much money for.

This is very true! I think I would wait until I have at least 2 children before I get any work done

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      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! 😞
