hey ya'll,

I'm getting closer and closer to goal, so now I'm thinking about plastic surgery. I'll definitely need a boob lift, arms done, neck, etc. I was wondering if anyone has used or knows anyone who has used Dr. Lomonaco in Houston? His site says he specializes in post-bariatric surgery patients. His site is Bodylifthouston

Josie,

That's great!! I'm so happy for you!! I'm scheduled Jan 7th. I didn't want to do my surgery till after christmas so my fiance's family wouldn't see the bruises and such. Dr. Lo is doing lipo on my neck, lifting my boobs, tucking my bra roll. I'm going to go see him again next month to talk to him about actually tightening the skin on my neck (if he thinks I'll need it) and doing lipo/tucking on the two areas under my shoulder blades on my back (they look horrible). I can't wait till my surgery!! Let me know how yours goes!!

hi brandy

since our surgeries are close in timing we can coach each other. i'm acting like "no big deal" because it is so far away. as we get closer.....i'm a scaredy cat. in fact i always say i'm like a man when i get sick or in pain ha!

the one area of question that bugs me is my tricep. so i am going to work out this area with weights (i hate tricep exercises) and see the best i can get it before deciding if i need to do it in phase 2. i really dont want that scar...so i will try my best.

anyway...keep me posted on your second meeting.

Will do!! Look at it this way, if you can handle the band surgery, you can handle this!! We have been thru so much already, this will be nothing.

**waving at BrandyK**

I'm in Pearland and have 'back boobs', TOO!!

I'm wondering when I should call to set up a consult or attend a seminar with Dr. LoMonaco -- I've still got a long way to go to get to goal, but once I'm there, I don't want to languish in this deflated fat suit one day longer than I have to!!

Nana,

You are doing great!! It never hurts to make an appt now, besides, it'll take about three months for them to get you in. They can always have you come back in closer to your surgery date for pics before surgery. This way you'll know what he can do for you and how much it will cost, and lock in his pricing in case he goes up anytime soon. His pricing is great, and his bedside manner is awesome. His staff is very sweet and you feel totally comfortable with him. I'm counting down till January when my surgery is scheduled. I tried on wedding dresses last weekend and I had major skin folds hanging over the top of my gown, it sucked!!

Thanks for the encouragement. No kidding tho', we should get together sometime!
