First Plastic Surgeon Visit!



Recommended Posts

Wow. Talk about mortifying. I had to stand there in the buck with nothing but these tiny bikini underwear they provide you, and get photographed! Sagging boobies, hanging belly, arms flapping in the wind - that took ALOT!

And what did i learn at the end of the day?? I shouldve stayed Fat because i cant afford all this surgery LOLOL

Just kidding of course. I got a consultation on a little extra neck fat, sagging deflated boobies, massive arm flab hanging and a WILD unruly stomach that is all sorts of wrinkled.

THe great news was...he said there is NO fat in my stomache or arms...that im hollowed out!! Yay. I was hoping it was just skin and not more I needed to lose. It was kind of gratifying :ohmy: My BMI was right where it should be. I was thrilled.

It turns out I will not have any surger before my wedding (July). Im so glad he was honest and straightforward and ssaid hell no missy, cutting it too close!

Anyway, I liked him, I got priced and overviews and tons of photos, so eventually, after the wedding, ill go back to him. But check out these prices!!!!!!!!!

Location: Bergen County, NJ

Doctor Quality: Top US Plastic Surgeon

Overall Cost (procedure, anastesia, facility, taxes)

Neck Lip 4,000

WOW! I need a better job people!!!!

LOL. $86000 for the thigh lift. For that much money, they ought to carry them for you too. At least you know we are paying attention.... ;o)

The truth be told I have no idea what my surgeon charges. He was very adament about getting the insurance to cover everything and he has never even brought up the cost. But the first surgeon I saw said the Tummy Tuck was 10k and he didnt' want to talk insurance at all. I'm kinda anxious to see what the insurance is paying when its done.

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
