Plastic surgery last Thursday



Recommended Posts

So, been awhile since I’ve been on... happy to report everything is good (3 1/2 years out)

Can’t believe I actually did it.... but last week had my eyes fixed up (excess skin on eyelids and bags under eyes) and extra skin on my neck removed. Sorry, can’t remmeber official procedure names.... 3 hour surgery, all good.... never took a pain pill

How long should I expect to look normal? Well, like I didn’t have surgery. Ha

i have little swelling, stictches out Wednesday which is cool. But the incision on my neck is pretty obvious right now

Thanks!

@CTJohn

good for you!! glad you didn't experience any pain.

betcha you look great.

i had my neck done last year - the scar was very

noticeable. dr. gave me free samples of "meladerma" (msp) to

use daily (x2) very thin line to start with - within 10

days line was was basically invisible!! really!! kept using the

"Meladerma" for a while (2-3weeks) looks terrific!

our famous saying on the board in "we are all Different" what

ever you use, you'll look as terrific as me!!:D

btw i have thought of doing my eyes too. who knows,

maybe next year!

good luck

kathy

congrats

Thank you for your well wishes!

I had originally gone for eyes - the extra skin made my lids droopy and I always looked tired. Dr said both could be done at the same time.

Btw. Of course, insurance didn’t cover it, I didn’t even ask Lucky enough to be able to private pay. I asked doc if he could do anything on price since I was doing eyes and neck, and he did eyes for half price. Doesn’t hurt to ask!

I'm getting my eyes done and insurance is picking that up since it will improve my vision. The bags will be on me since that is considered cosmetic. I asked the doc if he could do anything on the price of the bags and he said no. (5K) Glad to see your doctor worked with you. I'm sure you'll look and feel better.

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

      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?

      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! 😞
