I just paid for my surgery. I guess this is it for me. I am locked and loaded. Just waiting for March 10th and good bye evil stomach of doom...lol, But seriously, I am elated! I spent a pretty penny on this and its well worth it for my long term life. I just started my pre op diet today and I am doing pretty good. We will see how I feel tomorrow. This is me singing "Shakes glorious shakes, Choclate,vanilla,strawberry"! I know, Im crazy but Im so excited I could click my heels together if I were 100lbs lighter. Love you guys.

Yay! I remember the day I paid for my sleeve surgery. I actually just finished paying for my last plastics procedure last week, which was also pretty exciting. Good luck to you!

Congratulations! I am hoping to have my surgery done at the end of June. Crazy nervous/excited!

@@AvaFern, Which plastic procedures are you having done and can I ask what kind of prices you've gotten? I am your same starting weight and same goal weight. Wondering how much more I'll be looking at after surgery.

@@AvaFern Is there a forum in here that has prices people pay for certain procedures? I'm not quit there yet but I'm always curious to how much things are going to cost (I know it varies but ballpark)

I know there was a post in the plastics group awhile ago about costs, although I can't find it now. My costs were:

Breast Lift and Augment- $8K

Abdominoplasty- $12K

Arm Lift- $8k

Groin Incision Thigh Lift- $7k

Posterior Body Lift- $8k

Lipo- Each area $1800

Usually they give you a multiple procedure discount as well. For example, my first procedure was boobs, stomach, and Lipo on three areas, which is $25K, but I only paid 20K for the first surgery. After that they deducted about a grand each time. So when I factor in the cost of my sleeve, which was 18K, my new body cost me 61K- which didn't seem like anywhere near that ridiculous of a number before I sat here and added it all up. I am suddenly feeling motivated to go for a run or something, geez.

A good place to get a better idea about costs is realself.com You can look at results too.

I had my plastics in Mexico, so it was considerably cheaper. In 2011 I had breast lift with augmentation, extended Tummy Tuck with muscle repair, Lipo all over my whole body (even my calves!), and a two week stay in a recovery house with 24/7 nursing care for about $10,500. I paid an additional $200 or so for compression garments and prescription meds. And of course there was airfare for flying into San Diego.< /p>

The first 3 days or so pre-op are pretty brutal, especially the headaches. Hang in there. It does get slightly better a few days in, though for me I was ALWAYS tired through the whole 2 weeks.

      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!!
