OMG! I'm doing it! Scheduled LBL, breast lift, arm lift and neck lift with Dr. Sauceda on July 22. Anxious but excited.

Congrats! Are you on his Facebook group? It is a great way to get so many details and hear about others experiences. It is only open to people who have a scheduled date with the good doctor.

I am 6 months post plastics and couldn't be happier with my results and the experience.

Not on the Facebook group yet, but that's on my list of things to do. I've devoured everything in the Obesityhelp forum. Your experience was a huge influence on my decision as well as the extremely detailed reports on the forum. I went to MX for my sleeve and had a wonderful experience. Hoping for the same with plastics. I know it's going to be a difficult few months and I think I'm ready for it.

Nope. Not covered by insurance. I'm not having any skin issues.

Bought my plane ticket and scheduled labs. Trying to decide whether to get implants or not. I have a D cup right now, but will probably end up with a B after the lift. Since I run I don't think I want to deal with the bounce, but don't really want to be smaller.

CGJ - did you lose your hair again with plastics? Mine has just started thickening up again.

@ladykatie_ some insurance will cover plastics after WLS if you are having issues or your tummy hangs to a certain degree... I have yeast infections under my tummy and breasts if I am not careful...even being out in the heat... when I come in, I have to be sure to do a full wipe down or it breaks out again... I have reported this issue to my doctors, so that IF I am covered, I have documentation!

I had a lot of skin but no rashes and it could be held in with island so didnt interfere with exercise etc....No insurance for me either even though I lost massive weight. It really transformed me though and helped make me feel normal. I am no longer a deflated obese person...just look normal.

Surgery is in six weeks and I'm starting to get nervous. EKG and labs all came back ok, but my PCP wants me to see a hematologist because I found out last fall that I have several homozygous MTHFR genetic mutations. Although I've had 6 surgeries without problems the MTHFR can predispose me for blood clots. She wasn't comfortable advising me so I have to see the hematologist.

My PCP also agreed to write me a script for Percocet to take in case of pain. The docs in Mexico won't prescribe narcotic pain meds.

Less than 4 weeks left. The hematologist has cleared me for surgery, as well as my rheumatologist, PCP, endocrinologist, and psychologist. My therapist is finally on board, although not happy that I'm going to Mexico.

I've increased my Protein by 30g a day and I'm adding a few core workouts a week. Also added another 8ou of Water and switched to a better Multivitamin. I want to go into surgery as healthy as possible.

Bought my spoiled rotten dog stairs so I won't have to lift him into my bed! Trying to go a few weeks without carrying him anywhere so he can get use to it.

Started my packing list. I found a good YouTube video that showed most of the things I should bring.

The only thing I'm really getting anxious about is being away from my son for 12 days.

I'm traveling alone. Not too worried about it as I'm pretty self-sufficient.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
