5 Year Surgiversary!!! 12/12
It's actually tomorrow, but I will be at work without acess to the board. I can hardly believe it has been 5 years. I have had a very easy road with the DS. I have lost about 115 lbs and weight between 155 and 161. I did briefly get down to 151 after my plastics, but did not stay there very long. My weight is pretty stable. I am a good DSers most of the time when it comes to food choices. Although some days I eat anything and everything. I did have plastics in 2009, a LBL and BA, and then this past August I had smaller implants put in and a braline back lift. I am pretty happy with everything. I never though I would be so small, size 8/10. I feel like a normal person and am enjoying life. As so many others have said, I would do this surgery every year for the rest of my life. December 12th, 2006, is the day that changed my life forever!!!

Jenny,
I was torn between having the implants totally removed and smaller implants. I really would like to have them removed but will give this a try. My surgeon did amazing removing the loose skin from the reduction. It all comes down to I should have had ALL my body work done first and then decide on the implants. I had a breast reduction 22 years ago, so a breast lift was not possible, but I had lost some volume in the top from the weight loss. I think I would have been happier just having the bodywork done and wear bras than made me look full. I really wanted my top and bottom to match size wise. I know that I look pretty amazing, if I do say so myself. But I still stuggle when I shop for tailored clothing. I am so small from the waist down, size 8, that shirts and blouses that fit my boobs are way too big. It is the opposite of what I did prior to plastics, I used to have to buy shirts to fit my hanging, rolled up pannus and the top part would be too big.
Overall though, all the surgeries changed my life.
