I had a breast lift and reduction done 3 years ago due to breast cancer. Dr. Glenn Lyle with Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center in Raleigh. He did a wonderful job and also specializes in post bariatric body contouring. check out the website http://raleighplasticsurgery.com/ It includes before and after photos as well.

Hi,

I had a breast lift & implants with Dr Rizzuti out of Greenville 4yrs ago...He did a fantastic job & has a photo book of his work for you to ck out...Ran about $8000 with the implant cost...You can check him out on the internet...Also my support group just had a surgeon in to talk to us last month, just opened shop here in NewBern ( about 30-45 mins from you in J-ville)...Have not seen any of his work upclose and personal but he has 17yrs experience out of Highpoint NC before moving here to open his own practice - his name is Zannis, he's on the net too...

I love the shrug idea. I may have to look for some for me.

Put the hubby on a plane this morning and now he is in New Mexico and will interview with Intel tomorrow morning. I am getting goosebumps waiting. he has worked for Intel before in Oregon on two different projects once as an employee and once in a contract position. Both times they gave him the job the day of the interview. But in between flights he got a call to interview in Durham next week for Cree. Nice that he has options. Both ways we relocate but Cree is not as far away of course. New Mexico has its pros too though. It puts me about halfway in between both sets of grand-kids and at most a days drive from them. Currently its a two day drive or a four day drive from here to see them or of course a plane ride with layovers and stuff. See you all Saturday and should have an idea of where I'm going by then LOL!

Where do I get shrugs?

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Topic: Charlotte Support groups?
I have fallen off the wagon....I've gained 8 lbs. and that is all I'm willing to gain. I came back to OH for that online support, I have started back writing down ALL that I eat, and dropped 4lbs. last week. Now I need to get back to a support group to insure accountability. I use to go to Presby. on Monday, I don't remember which Monday of the month it was. Are there any groups that meet on Saturday morning or Sunday afternoon? Thanks in advance.

Of course you can look great in a sundress! As for the flappy arms, I have shrugs(short sleeve,short at the waist, crocheted sweaters) in black, white and brown. They add to the total look of your outfit and cover the flappiness. I have not found a sundress with a built in bra, but I found once I started losing weight and getting measured for bras that strapless bras actually worked. So get your sundress, a good strapless bra and a shrug and go to CALI with the attitude that you look good and deserve to have a good time. Live life like its golden!!!!!!

Zan, Dr. Sudan originally suggested DS but I talked with my doctors and feel very good about being able to deal with any mal-absorption issues. I don't have to take NSAIDS, that sounds like  a much harder thing to deal with. I'm getting some of my meds in liquid form so I can take them during the 1st three weeks to keep me stabilized. I'm also going to have some of them compounded. There is a compounding pharmacy here in Durham, off of Guess Rd. near the IHOP. We'll see what form they can give me for other meds. Never been to a compounding pharmacy but my BF and her partner have used them with success. Again, doesn't compare to your NSAID problem - that sounds much more difficult.

My surgery is June 3rd so I doubt I'll see you in the hospital but I'll be thinking of you. Feel free to email me and call if you'd like.
