Well, I survived! It was an interesting process. There is nothing quite so humiliating as being naked in front of a complete stranger who then proceeds to lift and move your fat all around....sigh.
Anyway, the outcomes are as follows (recognize that I will be seeing other surgeons as well and I will compare the results....): He recommends a three step process:
1 - Lower body lift to consist of tummy tuck, outer thigh lift and butt lift. Hopefully this will get rid of my butt wings.
2 - Inner thigh lift.
3 - Arms and boobs (lift and augmentation)
He doesn't even want to consider doing this until I'm a year out and my weight is stable. He asked how my weight has been, and I had to be honest that I'm still losing. He feels that given the amount of work I want done, I'll want the best results possible once I'm at goal.
Also, as to the arm lift, we talked about that nasty scar down the arms. He did say he could do a procedure where the scar stays under the armpit, but the results may not be as significant. So I have to think about that one. He did say I had a LOT of skin on my arms so I should give it a lot of thought.
I don't have costs yet, they are going to send them to me in the mail (probably so I don't scream LOL). He did also confirm my hernia and said they would fix that too during the tummy procedure. Likely no bikinis in my future given what he will need to do, but I didn't intend on wearing one anyway.
so that's my story. Oh, and I'm down to 152 today putting me down 120 pounds Yay me LOL
