Hi there board, So my consult for plastics is on Thursday, and I'm bugging out. Does anyone have a list of questions that they asked of their surgeon? I am getting info on a Lower Body Lift (with full vertical incision) and preliminary info on a breast lift/implants. HELP! ~Lara -212 - at goal!

hi everyone! I am down 116 pounds and if I dont lose any more I will be ok with that. I started out at 277 and in just over a year I made it to 161. I actually got a little lower but I was really sick and it was not a healthy loss. I had my ventral hernia repaired this month and had problems right away. first my bladder would not work right, spent 3 hours in recovery trying to pee and they finally replaced the cathater and sent me home and said to come back to the doctors office in 2 days to have that removed... thankfully I was able to pee after they removed it. then I had gas really really bad, I was so full of gas that I looked pregnant! then i got rid of the gas and was constipated! which turned into becoming impacted!!! this is not fun, and I ended up going to the ER, finally a week later I was doing better but I still have some problmes with my BM. I wanted to get to 150 but I can live with 161, according to the BMI chart, this is normal!!! I can't wait until my son graduates this month. relitives are coming from Texas and Wyoming who have not seen me since Thanksgiving and I have changed since then, about 30 pounds total and my mom who is coming from wyoming has not seen me in person since before the surgery. I am still a little swollen but I need to go clothes shopping, I have NOTHING to wear! I actually had to raid my 17 year old sons dresser to find some pants, his are 34's and they fit!!! I need to update my picture here, the last one taken was about 40 pounds ago! guess someone had better take my picture soon. Donna 277/161/150

Thank you...cause I want to be in the "Meltingmama" Club. Woohoo!

One swift kick as requested...poof...so there...just think of it as an extra boost up on the Wagon. I so know how you feel that is why I went back to Jenny Craig I needed someone kicking my butt. Thank goodness it is working. WOOHOO! -102

I did black....and yes it's kind of like a tattoo but it will fade after 10 years or so or that's what they say. But it's really cool and looks very natural and no one even notices except me of course because I don't have raccoon eyes at the end of the day!!! Tina
