Whaaaaaaaat? Again?!?!? That's right πŸ˜…

I decided to once again go ahead and (silently) more have plastics done. This time more skin removal with a twist. I'm very happy with the results so far. But i am just a few days post op

Procedures: Posterior back lift + Lipo + fat transfer

Where: Miami (Same surgeon)

Why: The same reasons as before... I wanted/needed more work completed

When: May 28, 2020

With all that's happening in the world right now, I wasn't certain I should create this post but I will try to update this thread regularly

Since this summer is probably going to be *complicated* and I didn't think i would get to fully enjoy it, I decided to finish (for now) my plastics journey.

Initially i lost weight during quarantine by following a few exercise routines. Muscle tone was improving but looking in the mirror i was not satisfied with how my skin was laying on my body. I realized i didn't need to be thinner but tighter and after major weightloss or WLS, major skin tightening is nearly impossible to do with surgical intervention.

I decided i also want a fuller rounder behind after all to look more balanced. I decided that i NEEDED a BBL. So I set on the very hard πŸ˜‚path to gain about 10-15 lbs.

My surgeon reminded me of our earlier conversations about mt skin laxity and refused to give me just a BBL without skin lifting /removal. He even warned me that i didn't even have enough choice fat (abdominal stubborn fat) for it anyway, My problem was excess thick skin πŸ˜’

We moved ahead with the back lift with some minor fat transfer and he was right. My results are transformative. I need to stay at my higher weight for a few months in order to allow the fat that was transfered an opportunity to live and grow. But i honestly look better now that 15lbs ago and my clothes still all fit the same, mostly. Apparently loose skin is a drag on your clothes sizing.

OMG Thank you 😍

I started saying i wanted plastics 2 yrs ago and had to clue/plan where to start. I'm so happy so many others helped with questions and those that joined me and paved the way in our Sophomoric class like @Sophie7713 @sillykitty @ms.sss @rs @mousecat88

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if theΒ random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
