Thinking about plastics

He told me if he lifted me it would look bad because there would be nothing but wrinkled skin.  I can visualize based on the "socks" I have now.   He is going to do an implant, but nothing big...just enought to look natural....can't wait - I never thought I would do plastics, but then I never thought I would do gastric bypass either....

Hi Susann,   I will talk to you in detail about this too when I am there next month!      "the girls"  omg.. I love that expression!      Being just 9 days out I have to say I am so happy about this already.    Yes, I would like a flatter stomach, but I would not need a TT fortunately... but my legs I hate.   My plastic surgeon said that she would not do anything with them though, but she did recommend I see a vascular doctor.....   Its funny  (not really haha funny)  but once we get to goal....  and you really start wanting to do all these other things.    omg.. now everyone will be looking at my legs so i will have to wear pants... lol.     but they are seriously bad.   its from carrying all that weight for so long.    She said that there was nothing she could really do though.      I figure I will wait until I am healed from this current surgery..... Cant wait to see you! xo

I can't wait to see your new "girls".....and you, of course.  I am so excited about the plastics, hope I can wait until January if insurance doesn't pay.  See you in a couple of weeks!!!

How exciting Susann! I spent the first 9 months after my WLS thinking I wouldn't care about getting plastics.  But over the last few months, I've been thinking, "What if I did??!!"  I would honestly LOVE to have boobs again.  The money will definitely be a factor, as I'm sure insurance won't pay for those. But anyway ... I'm excited for you, and can't wait to find out what's next for you!

I was the same way Dawn.  Never dreamed I would go for plastics.  But the more skin I got, the more I knew I would do something.  Wasn't even thinking I would go for the boobs, but after talking to the doc I figured - what the heck.

I really don't think my insurance will cover anything, so I am probably going to wait until after the first of the year.  I have some "cafeteria" medical money, plus my income tax refund, so it will put a dent in it.  After that I will just use the good old plastic and pay it off as I can....I figure I am worth it!

Thank you, Susann, for making me get off my duff and do something.  I just scheduled my consult with Dr. Harvey for June 11th!!!!  I'm excited and nervous too.  I don't know what he is going to say or recommend.  I wonder if he does butt implants.  I have no butt anymore (not that I had much of one before WLS).  I'm excited and very happy for you.  This is like the end of our journey - getting plastics to "finish" our new look.  Woohoo - you go girl!!!!

Susan

  I can't wait for you to meet him Susan.   I asked his nurse if all of his patients are in love with him.    Y'all just remember to tell him that Mary  sent you so that he might give me a break for my "repairs".  I know that insurance won't pay for the mess that my stomach is.  My bellybutton is even off center How have you been?  I've been such a hermit, I miss you guys. Mary

Hey, don't feel bad.  I haven't been to a meeting in about a month!  I have been so busy lately.  My daughter and my niece are here now, along with my son.  Should be an interesting summer!!   We need to get together soon at my house and have a pool party.  How about June 23rd?  I know Jill will be here - maybe we can have our Saturday meeting at my house then???  I'll send a post and see who all might be interested.  I think it would be fun, fun, fun.  I am definitely ready for that!

That sounds heavenly!!! Mary

Thanks Susan.  He is very nice and I think you will like him.   I have a feeling there isn't much he won't do.  He did tell me that he won't do the back at the same time as the front because he feels it is dangerous to turn you over during surgery...but he will do TT and boobs at the same time... Let me know how you do....have missed seeing you and Debbie.
