Hello all,

I thought I would start this thread today for my PS journey. I am going today (as long as I can get there in time) to the plastic surgeon.

Here is information on my surgeon...

I am going for a consult on a Tummy Tuck and breast reduction today.

Wish me luck all, I am nervous, scared and excited all at the same time!

:car: I will post all about what is going on here!

BBK, What a beautiful picture!!!! It is just stunning, you look like a movie star!! You are such an inspiration to the rest of us. It just goes to show how hard work and dedication can change your life. Congratulations!!! Thanks for sharing your journey with the rest of us!!

BBK,

I am wondering how you are doing with swelling. You seem to be one of the only people whose Dr. doesn't have them slapped into a binder. I think your Dr. said it was better for blood supply to the incision site. How's it going? Do you think the lack of binder is making you swell more or less than the other folks? I know it's proably hard to make a comparison like that, but I am trying to prepare for my eventaul PS and would like to get more info on life without a binder.

You look great!

Thanks Foofy

I think the swelling is going ok. I have more on the right side than the left side still. I really don't have anything to compare it to though. I tried wearing spanx for 1 day and got all freaked out and ditched it. I can say that I hurt a lot still. When I sneeze I want to cry. I definately think there are many times when I have needed the support of a binder, but alas as much as I don't like him I still follow my Dr's orders. (Am I a dork?)

I can say that I can wear a bikini now. I have one that hides the line and it looks good. No swelling hanging out anywhere!

Dan--thanks. I actually think he is an ass. But,eh!

Go-thank you. I have worked really hard to become the girl who was lost inside the fat. I am so happy I made the committment. If I can do it, anyone can!

Denise-I want implants. D's are too small......

Hello all

Just got off the phone with the Dr's office. I am having a Hernia Physical on the 21st for the port replacement. They are calling it a hernia for insurance reasons I guess. WHATEVER they want to call it, I just want it fixed!

I will go see the Bariatric Surgeon on the 21st and should get my surgery date then. Ah, all seems so long to wait! :biggrin:

Good luck with the doctor appointments!

Good Luck BBK. You have been through so much!

If you think D's are too small, you would laugh at my B!

Hey, if this is open for voting I say E would be better. :smile:

D's, DD'S FF"s JJJ"S WOW sigh

I'm still a "C" just a deflated one now. It doesn't matter if I weigh 300 or 150 I have always been a "C" cup.... I think I will get a small implant to fill out deflation.

That pic you posted the one in your avatar, WOWEEE girl, you look fantastic and look at those legs!

I like your pin up name btw :smile: I didn't realize which you had chosen until now.

Lookin sexy!

Thanks! I had to buy a .com address. I think I forgot to tell everyone what I had finally decided!

I am very deflated too. It would be nice to get implants, but I paid enough for this surgery and I really don't have the money to spend on

boobs. My daughter is a DDD. She had Gbypass and her boobs look like

tube socks.

Hey all

As promised here are some new photos! The first one is a raw image and I didn't retouch them yet. They will all get a work over but here they are now!

I am not sure how many ya all want to see...lol..

This last one has been worked over!

Fantastic! absolutely mind blowing!

I so have to find a photographer as good as yours, my husband would love something like that for his B-day.

BBK,

LOVE your stunning new photos!!!! Not only are they gorgeous, but they're so creative!!!

You're a real natural at this, and it looks like so much fun!
