It's so worth it!

I know what you mean!  It's taken me a year to raise the money for this last procedure.  My boyfriend paid for the first one.  For me, it was about mobility.  I had such bad back pain from my panni that I didn't have much choice. My insurane absolutely wouldn't pay.  It can be very expensive if you need a lot done.  I'm sure by the time I'm done with everything I would have paid $30K.

I too had some work done and am very happy with the results. I had a tummy tuck/boob job then a face lift. You are right, the swelling is crazy. I gained 10 pounds after my tummy tuck lol. I would do it all again in a heart beat. The money I have spent on surgeries, including the lapband (I was self pay) is sure a huge motivator to keep the weight off. Congratulations to you, you have done awsome.

I am extremely impressed with your immense weight loss, good for you that you proved them all wrong. I hope you are healing well, wish you all the best, you are very inspiring!!!

You picked one awesome Plastic Surgeon.  I intend on going to him or Dr. Capella in NJ when my time comes.
