2.5 years post op - success story with photo collage



Recommended Posts

All these photos were taken WITHOUT Shapewear. After geting to goal, I was able to look pretty good with clever disguising of clothing and shapewear, but I chose photo #2 to show what I really looked like...extra skin showed even with clothes.

My sleeve surgery was Dec 2011 - photo #1 is right before

I got to goal of 158 in Feb 2013 - photo #2 is about 6 months later

I had plastics in Oct 2013 (Dr Sauceda in Mexico - lower body lift, arm lift, breast lift and augmentation and SMALL thigh lift). - Photos 2 show pre plastics.

Photos 3 and 4 were both post plastics and you can see that losing a few pounds made very little difference, it was the getting rid of the skin!post-122684-0-37203100-1403555188_thumb.jpg

You look great! Makes me want to think about removing this ab flab later on sometime.

But in your post, the date of your surgery says "2013," but your info says 2011... It's just a typo in the post.

Was the pain from plastics....bearable? I'm kind of a weenie...and still have some time and progress to go before I can consider it. But would probably need lower body lift and upper arm lift to smooth all this out. Is Tummy Tuck part of lower body lift or is that separate?

thanks,sas

A lower body lift is a Tummy Tuck plus flank// butt lift. The best way to research this is on realself . com

i did not experience much pain at all. My surgeon did excellent pain management during first few days and then after that I scarcely needed anything. The hardest part of the recovery is you have to take it really easy for many weeks. And there is exhaustion. Reconstructive plastics is a big deal with an extended recovery. i was off work for 6 weeks and I feel like I needed that.

My arm lift gave me incredible results that changed my whole profile. I am actually very happy with my results.

good luck whatever you decide - but just do alot of research.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
