Let the countdown begin...yesterday I scheduled my surgery for plastics. I'm getting a lower body lift and breast lift with augmentation. The big day is April 14, 2009...7:30 am...first surgery of the day. I am so excited, yet scared as hell. I know that I'm going to be in some serious pain but I figured it will all be worth it. I never thought that this day would come. I never thought that I would look the way that I do now and I can't wait to have an end result. Yesterday was my second consultation. I went to see how much it would be to add on a breast lift. Well...if I just did a lift...I would go from a C cup to an A. Oh...hell no!!! That goes to show you that it's all sagging skin (GROSS). Anyway...the butterflies in my stomach have already arrived. Anyone out there have these procedures done at the same time? How was your recovery? Give me all the details.

Good Luck to you Tina!

Congratulations on your sucess and keep us updated on your progress. I would be both excited and nervous.

I am not there yet but I think that I will need to have PS too. My stomach and upper thighs are pretty jiggly and I would also like a breast lift. My upper arms are getting better so maybe they will snap back OK.

I was wondering about the cost, it looks like we are both in the DC metro area could you let me know how much your doctor charges for your procedure?

Just three short months from yesterday and I go under the knife...I'm nervous as hell and excited!!!

About the breast lift...that's what I initially went in there for with my second consultation. Let's just say that by just doing a lift, it took me from a C cup to an A. I cannot have that. So....I'm getting the lift with implants. I want to remain the same size that I am...a C but I want a full C...not a skin filled bra C cup.

Tina,

You, me and OH Juli are all having body lifts at around the same time. I'm actually first cab off the rank with surgery on the 2nd of April, so I'm right there with you on the butterflies in the tummy!

I'm not having a BA though. Despite the crap skin on my stomache and hips, my girls have come through my weight loss relatively okay. I've gone from a DD cup to a D and they're pretty good still for having breastfed 4 kids!

How are you going for preparations? When is your bloodwork? Have you been measured up for your compression garment yet?

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
