Tummy tuck, brachioplasty (arms) and breast lift/augment. Never thought in my life I'd need an augmentation, but lost my 44DDD's!

You look amazing. I am still a 36 D. The dr told me I only need a lift but to be honest. I am thinking a reduction to a b or c and small implants to fill the skin out.

Thanks!

Yeah before plastics I was at a 32L (long) I used to joke! But strangely I wore the same size bra before and after--32DDD. When I rolled em up and stuffed them in they filled it out and after the small implants did.

I think it depends on what you are the most self conscious about. For me the order in which I would rate things is arms, thights, tummy, boobs

I'm still early in the game. However my arms don't seem too bad, I think some toning will sufficient for them but only time will tell. If I do have ps I'd like Tummy Tuck, bbl if I lose what God gave me after this, and I already have breasts that nursed 5 babies, so wouldn't mind lifting them. I am noticing though that my thighs are quite big. I guess I would say in this order for me... tummy, thighs, but, boobs, arms, work my way up lol

Possibly the panni if it's covered by insurance. My only dream surgery would be a neck lift but my sister had that done (Lifestyle lift) and spent 3 months sleeping in a recliner and still has a pulling feeling behind her ears. My dream is to retire early and travel the country with my husband in our Airstream. I look good in clothes and he loves me no matter what so I'm not going to blow my retirement money on plastic surgery.

I am saving up for a Tummy Tuck and a boob lift. I think that is all I will need. I want a flat stomach and my boobs where they belong.,

I could see doing arms, since sleeveless shirts and dresses are da bomb.

My boobs are fine, since they're stuffed in a bra all the time anyway.

My tummy only matters if I start developing sores.

My thighs might become a major problem area. I'm still only halfway to goal, so hard to say for sure.

So I'll vote arms and legs...

Ok I have a question. Asked in a separate thread but didn't get a response. Is it true that slow losers are less likely to need plastics? Anyone know?

Skin "bounces back" to a certain extent (for want of s better work. To the extent that there is elasticity left. If you are a slow loser it's doing t little by little as you lose and keeping pace. If you lose fast it has to catch up as if were, at the end. That's one of the reasons most surgeons ask you be al a stable goal weight for 6 months before plastics. To see how much of the skin recovers. Your skin will come back based on genetics, age, weight, ethnicity and how long you were overweight. It will come back to the same extent regardless
Of speed it's just if you get it all along or have to wait for it to catch up.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
