Sadie's PS journey



Recommended Posts

I was banded in Edinburgh, Scotland on 02.02.08. To date I've lost 115lbs!

Tomorrow is the start of the PS journey at long last. I'm starting off with a mastopexy. I'm being admitted at 7.30am tomorrow and should be out on Wednesday at 10.30am. No drains will be used either, great! At the biggest I was a size 44 G/H, now I'm a 36E but I've lost a lot a of breast tissue and the Plastic Surgeon reckons I'll be either a 36B/C. I'm not bothered about implants, been there with the big chest, don't want them again! DH is more of a butt man anyway! I'm sure he would rather I was having butt implants as this has disappeared too.

Anyway, I can't wait until tomorrow and hopefully I'll have either an extended Tummy Tuck or belt lipectomy scheduled for Jan/Feb possibly with an arm lift too.....:frown:

I'll update with progress soon.....

Thank you for all your kind thoughts! I appreciate it.

Well, I'm back home now, all done and dusted! I was taken into the operating room around 10.20am and was all done by 1pm. Everything went extremely well, I am really pleased with them. The Surgeon, Mr Hamilton, was fantastic. He's going to do the rest of my surgery too hopefully.

I have no drains in and no dressings either. I have stitches around the nipples that are to be removed next Friday.

My DH is amazed by them, he's only seen the saggy ones! The kids say I look slimmer too! From getting on the scales to morning of surgery until today (2days) it looks like I've lost 6lbs! Granted I haven't ate that much, but I'm dying to know how much came off the boobs! I must ask next week....

Anyway, will pluck up courage to post pics soon (my sister didn't believe the after pics were mine!)

Sadie :wink2:

You have done outstanding, you’re really knocking it outta the park. I really love to hear all the goodness that comes out of the band and the plastic surgeries after.

Congrats!!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
