Hi all!!!:w00t:

OK, after visiting many plastic surgeons and thinking long and hard about my decision i have come to the final decision.

Dr. Leonard Lu, M.D., F.A.C.S (New Horizons Center for Cosmetic Surgery. Skokie, IL)

I'm having plastic surgery this year...:thumbup: Actually, my first surgery is scheduled for March 12th and the next one is sometime in June.. My Surgeon it was too much to do in one operation.

Surgery # 1: March 12, 2009 Agenda (6 hours)

Belt Lipectomy/Lower body lift:

This includes:

**Lipo of back/stomach/legs/and mons for contouring.

**Also in this procedure i will have a mons lift (that area should not be so sad and droopy lol:redface:)

**And a brazillian butt lift (where he will take some of what he lipos out and injects it into my bottom to make it fuller and more round)

Surgery # 2: June 2009 (4 hours)

*Brachioplasty (extended down to bra line to get rid of the "side boobs"!!!

*Inner Thighplasty ( inner front butt)

*Lipo of upper back near bra line

I am beyond excited about this process.. I know that maybe it would be better to wait a little longer but i think after all the opinions ive had now is a good time. All the surgeon say that even if i plan on losing another 15lbs after surgery that my results wouldnt be altered because they pull everything so tight!!

My weight has been at a basic stand still since october and well quite frankly i am comfortable at my size right now.. The only problem i have is that i cant stand the extra materials hanging down, they need to get altered and quick.. Hey i got rid of my baggy clothes why wouldn't i do this..

My Pre-Op stuff is already done and ive put down my down payment and surgery #1 is scheduled... No turning back now.

I'll keep you Posted!!

P.S. Oh and i believe that this may be the thing i need to do to finally feel like a normal person.. Needless to say my brain is still having a hard time catching up with the weight-loss.. Just a great way to end this chapter in my life

With my Anchor TT I was hunched over a good 3 weeks. I had a wound issue tho. But man oh man did my back hurt so freaking bad from being hunched over. It does get better tho, I promise!!!

WOW over 20lbs!! thats amazing, your going to be smoking.

My Dr took about 9 off of me and I couldnt believe it, I am now able to wear bikini panties and they aren't hidden by my tummy. WOHOOOOO

like my plastic surgeon said you have tiny little body/core hiding there.. our job is to bring it out..

like i always said no pain no gain..!!!

Yay for YOU! That 20 pounds of skin IS amazing. That should knock you right past your goal into your "super goal," right? Obviously, there was no reason for you to wait any longer to have surgery.

Gosh, how exciting. When are you going to post pictures?
