Plastic Surgery On my calander feb 2nd

Well here I go .Im 2 years post and have a surgery sceduale for feb.2nd full abdominal plasty (all the way around). and medial thigh lift.UUUGGGHH Im afraid about the pain .I really like dr.Leonard here in Salem so that makes it eaiser. Ill keep all posted with photos and how it goes. If you have any tips with plastic surgery that might help let me know.It really helps when you hear from others that have done it. For all those who are waiting for WLS The wait is so worth it Id never go back !!!

I'm jealous!!! I am so happy for you. You are already adorable! You will be so pleased once it is all behind you. I understand your apprehension. For some reason I am much more scared of the plastic surgery. It isn't nearly as invasive as rearranging your entire digestive system. I think it's the big incision. Plus when you and your doctors are convinced that you are dying from your obesity, it makes the jump off the diving board a little bit easier. The lap WLS was huge on the inside, but just six little snips on the outside. The all the way around is the one I am determined to get also. The doctor I am pretty sure I am going to go with has worked with a lot of WLS patients (Dr. Connel). I think he feels that going with the full is the way to go. You are one of the first people who's progress I was encouraged by when I was in the infancy of my own journey. I am thrilled that you are going to take this next step. Keep us posted, and I hope to follow you again! Patty

Hi Patty Talk about adorable so are you wow what a really big change both of us have made . I loved reading your info (I finally got a chance to sit down And do it).You were good at keeping note of everything especially of your feelings. I guess I have a hard time writing down stuff especially when there is alot of pain in the Journey.Your story is alot like mine .Thin obese then thin again . My kids really have a different view of things also.I would imagine your teenagers are really amazed.I do wish my husband would make more of a fuss.He still says he loves me anyway I am, ggrrrr .I guess that should make me happy. Mabe we can get together sometime after this surgery stuff.Ill show you my scars give you something too look forward to ha ha Heather

Heather, Im so excited for you ! I live neear Salem and Im beginning my research on PS and available Dr.'s. Any information your willing to share about your Dr. would be awesome. I Just called a Dr. there in Salem and set up a consultation his name is Dr. Nisbet. Im looking for a lift/reduction and a TT. I've been spending some time on the Plastic Surgery board, you might be able to pick up a little advise there too. Good luck ! Gail
