My plastic surgery was today!

I had it done by Dr. Kara in Scarborough, Ontario. He did a lower body lift with fleur de lis Tummy Tuck, muscle repair and lipo!! He is absolutely wonderful. So caring and was literally excited to transform me!!

Surgery lasted 7 hours and he removed 10lbs of skin and fat!!!

I'm doing well, haven't moved yet, so we'll see how that goes in an hour or two. Otherwise pain is good. I actually feel better then after my RNY!

Anxious to get to see something, but certainly not in a rush.

Very sleepy, I'll update more later :)

I'm so glad you're doing well! Are they keeping you overnight? I'm considering a 360 body lift and thigh lift and they are saying it's done outpatient...

no!! I did all the research. Ohip will only cover a panniculectomy! Which is the removal of skin below belly bottom. In which you need a GP referral to a surgeon willing to work with Ohio. Most won't. Then that surgeon makes a claim to Ohip and that surgeon tells you how the billing to help you out. The one I went through was willing to pass me on a $400 payment by Ohip. And there was no way I was going to recover through all of this and not be happy. I know I needed more than a panniculectomy. Good luck to you!

Just thought I'd make an update. It's about 2.5 days since my lower body lift. Just got up after a good chunk of sleep and feeling itchy!! All over itchy!! As it's still night I took another Percocet, but feeling like I'll only need those now when sleeping and probably just 1 instead of the 2 I was taking. I took the clinic recommendations to take your pain meds as directed every 4 hours for the first couple days to stay in front of the pain. That I think has definitely helped although I'm kinda done with being in the groggy state of mind.
I've had two poops (tmi I know but very important) and didn't need anything to get things going. Ive been feeling like a need to couch, but it hurt to much to try. Just slowly was able to couch up two chucks of yellow crap from my lungs, not sure whats that all about.
I think I've transitioned from lazy boy to couch with masses of pillows for support. I was able to get up and down just now pretty comfortably.
So far no issues. I do have staples and will likely have those out Monday.
That's all I can think of for now. Oh I did weigh myself, out of curiosity and was expecting to be up, even though they took 15lbs. I went into surgery at 197 and yesterday I was 195. Thought that was pretty good. Night night for now.

OK, so another update. My 2.5-year-old child was up at 5:45 this morning [emoji30][emoji35]. After dealing with him for an hour the pain instantly came back....one Percocet was not enough! Finally laid down at 7 AM took my two Percocets, 1 antibiotic, and one anti-inflammatory with a Protein Shake, had a little cry. sleep time!

Thank you. There are still ups and downs. But it is going good. I just wish this one spot would stop hurting so much. It must be an internal stitch or something, but oh my goodness it's killing me!
Anyway here's another pic from today with comparison to Tuesday. I never took naked pics when I was 292. Tuesday is was 197 and today 193.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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
