Plastics 5/25/10 feeling a little chicken.

Hello All,

I have not been on in a while. I am down to 203 from 468. I am officially scheduled and paid for a panny removal an upper tummy tuck and a butt lift. The surgeon says I  will be in pain for several days. I am a little chicken but it really needs to be done. I am a pear shape and all the loose skin has migrated to the lower torso(sp)? I am looking forward to my new body. It has been a long road to get here.

Anyway, I will upload some picks prior to surgery and after also. I don't keep my profile updated like I should but I do want you all to know. This does work if you put in the effort. And to all the people who said I took the easy way out. UP YOURS!!! None of this has been easy. And this next surgery will be the worst.

Happy Day!!!!

Tommi

Congratulations on your amazing success and upcoming transformation! You deserve to have the body that matches your new weight. I will be praying for your surgery and healing.

Congrat Tommi. Everything sounds great. Looking forward to seeing them pics. I have wondered where you have been. I 'm glad to hear your doing so well. Good luck on your up coming surgery. Hugs Sherri

Oh Tommi, congratulations!!!!!  I can only imagine the anxiety leading up to such a big surgery... I'll be sending you lots of calming wishes :)  Do you mind if I ask what the combined cost for your surgery will be?  I definitely will need PS... my abdomen, butt, boobs, are all a wreck.  Thank god for shapeware.

 if u have done everything else u have to get where u are u can do this....... congrats on ur success so far..... well done u.... keep going

Wow, Tommi--incredible success story! You must feel like million bucks--the price of plastic surgery if insurance doesn't help, heh! I'm sure your apprehension is building and perfectly normal...it's part of what we need to do to get to where we want to be, if that makes sense. The end results should be so pleasing and you'll be so proud that the nervous pre-op tension and post-op pain will be a distant memory some day.

Please keep posting through your PS; you'll benefit from the support, and we'll benefit from your experience(s)....thanks, Tommmi, and again, heartfelt congrats on your amazing transformation!

Insurance is paying for the panny removal. But I had to pay the surgeon $4700 for the upper tt and butt lift. I am not sure of the hospital costs. I know insurance will pay for some of it. But I am not sure how much.

One surgery at a time. I will face the costs as I go. I tried to talk to the surgeon about the other things I wanted done. He said lets get through this and we will discuss each one as it comes. Next will be the thighs and then Boobs and Bat wings. Then I should be ok.

Thanks for your comments.
