Anyone had or attempting TT yet

Hi all - It has been a while since i have written. My one year will be here in 28 days and I cant seem to get the need/want for TT. My question is, has anyone 1 yr out had plastic surgery yet? if so, where you at goal or did you have a certain amount to lose. I would ideally like to lose 40 - 45 more lbs and be at 155 - 160. I am 5'7 and have a solid thick frame (not fat but bone structure) I started at 295 and have been fluctuating between a total lose of 95- 100lbs for the past 4 months. Good sign that I have not gained anything but bad that I have not lost either. I dont beat myself up about it (except for those days of the month when I am a bit emotional) I do wonder if I am just done losing or if it is a combination of eating habits and excerise or if my muscle gain is keeping me at the weight I am. Anyway, everyone keeps telling me I look smaller but I am only in a 14 - which is fine because my goal is size 10... (I cannot imagine I would look good in anything less than an 8) I am just naturally thick (bone structure, etc) OK - here are the question. 1 - has anyone gotten plastic surgery with weight to still lose (not at goal) 2 - If so, how much additional weight did you lose after TT/lipo/lifts, etc 3 - what is the average cost without insurance Thanks all for the info - Jan lapRNY - 12/29/03 - 295/200/155

Hi Jan, we seem to be in the same boat, no loss for four months, with large frame. I'm a 14-16 with an occasional 12 top. Plastics aren't for me, insurance wise, and I can't afford them myself. Hope you find the answers to your questions, but from what I've seen, most wait for at least 6 months of weight maintaining, unless you have a serious need, like a huge tummy hanging down. Nona

Hi Jan!! Well, I can only answer your last question as I am scheduled for PS on March 22, 2005. I started at 245, 5'4", and now at 123. I consider myself at goal and have not lost more than 4lbs in the last 2-3 months, so I think I am pretty much where i will stay. I decided to wait till March for 2 reasons. 1: Income tax money to pay for it and 2: My weight would be stable for a bit before PS-although my PS said I was ready now if I chose to. In March I will have a TT and Breast lift (maybe with implants-not sure yet) along with a little lipo on my hips. The PS said that I will loose another 4-5lbs. I am a size 4-6 and guess I will end up a solid 4, maybe a 2 (who whould have ever thought ) The cost for all three (without implants) is just over $13,000-I am self pay, my HMO wont touch plastics. The breakdown for just the TT was around $6200 Good Luck in whatever you decide and HAPPY 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!! Kimberly 245/123@goal
