Have any women thought about getting a Tummy Tuck or breast lift? I was against it right after surgery but now seeing how saggy and deflated everything is I may reconsider. I do exercise cardio (4days) strength (1 to 2 days) a week Thoughts ladies?

I plan on mortgaging my life out to my 90's in order to get the surgeries. lol! I want a full body lift. That's legs, butt, tummy, breast, arms and maybe neck. I was over 350 at my highest and I'm only 5"1'. I have a lot of saggy skin. A. Lot.

I needed a lift and reduction pre-surgery, and definitely am looking in to getting one when I reach maintenance. I have a surgeon in Houston already picked out, although my husband would probably want me to stay local, it'll be cheaper, but I like the Horndeski Method (now called something else). It's pretty cool.

Not sure about the TT though, we shall see when it's closer to time.

I'm planning on having a breast reduction/lift when I reach my goal weight. I've always been stacked, and I have pain from them now, as well as 2 bulging discs in my neck. I'm hoping the weight loss and muscle strengthening when I start lifting will help with the pain, but I'm sure they are gonna look scary once I reach goal. I'm open to having a Tummy Tuck if necessary, but I'll see how my stomach recovers before I make up my mind.

Horndeski has had privileges revoked from the medical board for his practices, Google it.

Really!? I'll look it up. That's probably why he sold it or whatever and now it's a different name.

Interesting. I read some horror stories about him, but I didn't pay a lot of attention but there are a couple people he completely botched.

It's peer related, four years ago. Nothing about his actual practice or method or quality of care .

On April 12, 2013, the Board and Gary Michael Horndeski, M.D., entered into an Agreed Order requiring Dr. Horndeski to obtain within 30 days an independent medical evaluation from a psychiatrist and follow all recommendations for continued care and treatment, within one year complete 16 hours of CME including eight hours in risk management and eight hours in communications skills with professional colleagues and pay an administrative penalty of $1,000 within 60 days. The Board found Dr. Horndeski was disciplined by peers at Angleton Danbury Medical Center regarding issues related to competency, conduct and behavior and had his membership and privileges at ADMC revoked.

I always told hubby I want new boobs for my 40th. Maybe I'll add a Tummy Tuck now too. 😁

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
