Hey Marchers I just wanted to stop in and let you guys know that I had my first of many PS consults. I have decided to start on my second half of this journey by going to different PS in my area just to get an idea of what I am looking at if PS is not covered by insurance. The DR. I consulted with was Dr. Joseph Fodero in Livingston, NJ. He was a very nice man, upfront, and very thorough. He did let me know that almost half of his practice is focused on WLS patients being it by WLS or there own means. I was very excited and anxious to get naked in front of this man!!!!! He said that I would be a good candidate for a Lower Body Lift, that is actually what I would like to get if I could. I dont think a TT would be enough. I also was interested in breast lift but he says that he would only do the Lower Body Lift at one time and I would have to get anything else that I wanted at a second surgery. Now lets talk about how much I would need for just a Lower Body Lift.................to be exact........$17088 and that is with tax. So if you see I wont be having that done anytime soon...at least not by him....I still have 2 other consults that I have scheduled...I had already figuired that he would be very high but the main reason I am doing this is to get an idea of what I am looking at...I know right now the only way that I am going be paying for anything like that is if I win the lottery. I will actually be writing a mored detailed list of what the pricing and breakdown is in my profile....so if you want to reference back you can... I have been doing alot of research when it comes to PS...becuase I need it and I want it. Until Next time...Hope all is well for everyone.....because everything is going great for me Tyshea 315/167/150 Had my 1st PS consult!!!! WooHoo Now i Just need 17k!!!Do you got it...cause I dont!!!!!

Everyday I'm amazed at the confidence in myself building. No more the "never draw attention" lack of self confidence. This past weekend, my husband and I went honkytonking and sang Karaoke together! I loved it even though I didn't sing a single note in tune! Had a cropped red T-shirt on with tight jeans and, wow, I felt sexy! One year ago, I'd died first before even going on stage to request a song, now I'm singing them and don't even care if everyone is watching me. Now, it's fun being the center of attention.

Jill, Congrats! Your pictures are so cool! I wish I had kept as good a visual track of my weight loss as you did. You can really see the difference between months. Way to go!!!

Aw, sweetie! I kinda sorta understand. I lost my mother 3-1/2 months after my surgery. She got to see the beginning of my journey, but I wish she was here to see the results. I miss her too. Hang in! Greg (342/191/185)
