Preop Plastic Pics Posted to Profile

Hi
can you add me as your friend I would love to see your pix. I know how hard it is to post pre-op pix but after your surgery you don't remember your pre-op and you need to see them both so you can appreciate even more how u turned out, also it helps others to see your pix cause maybe there body type is the same as yours then they can see your results and kind of know what to expect, check out my pix I just posted some more
Thanks Susan

Thanks Susan! your pics are *amazing*! You look so different!!!  Congrats to you - i am sure you are still sore but you are gonna love your end result if you look this great already!!!!  I will add you, let me know what you think my results will be like.. I hope they are good!!

thanks

My tummy looked alot like yours but was bigger and hung lower. I always had a double tummy and it feels so good to have just one tummy now. Your legs and arms look great. Be aware though, now that I've had a LBL everything else seems to look worse and I'm already saving for my breasts, under arm fat and back fat next. Then may get my thighs done not sure because I'm afraid that will be too painful.

Hi Debi!

Thanks for the comments on all my photos and looking at them.  I am glad to hear your are so much happier with your tummy.  I can see how when u update the drapes then u wanna do the carpet and the lighting etc.. I am worried I might fall in that syndrome but unfortunately I cannot afford any more after this, we are going to adopt children.  So this will have to be it for a long time. :(  I am glad you are able to make goals to have more done though, you must be happy with yourself and u have come so far.. go for the gold!

I might not ever be able to afford more plastics either but I can still hope/dream about it. I thought I'd be happy getting my tummy and arms done but now I see all the other imperfections and they're really bothering me.

Congratulations on adopting that's awesome.  I have two sons, they are  23 and almost 18.  Now I'm looking forward to being a grandmother some day. Spend as much time as you can with them and cheri**** all because it ends really fast. My oldest son moved out of our house 5 years ago and I really miss him. I do see him almost daily but it's not the same. I don't think my youngest son will ever move he's alot less motivated than his brother is. LOL

Hi Debi
I said i wouldn't' get my thighs done because people have said how painful it is, I saw some horrible pictures here on line & infections but then I decided to take the gamble I couldn't stand my thighs and I would never wear shorts again and I wore short  shorts even @ 270 lbs.
So if you have a good PS and you eat protein before during & after recovery you should heal fine, I had no infections it was a little tight near the knee it felt like it would split but it didn't I was more sore then with my abdominoplasty but if it hurt you don't move it was more of a discomfort then real pain.You need a raised toilet seat & maybe a tool to sit on at first and of course the good old recliner chair.I only took pain meds in the hospital the first day. I did the inner thigh lift ,under arm fat and butt just 3 weeks ago check out my new pix.Butt and under armsI did  not even  have any discomfort I only know he did them because I have incisions.Also my PS DOES NOT USE STAPLES, I am sewn from the inside and steri strips on the outside

Hi Susan,

I'm glad to know it's not too painful to have the thighs done, it sure does look painful though.

I bought a raised commode seat before my LBL and brachioplasty and it's helped alot. I also have my grandmothers lift chair that I got when she passed away and I'm using it now.

I really want my boobs, under arm fat and back fat done next so not sure if I'll ever be able to do my thighs or not but they sure look huge now that I've had the LBL. I'm pretty swollen in the mons and tummy area but my arms are not.

I don't think my surgeon would go past my knees if he did do the thigh lift because he wouldn't go past my elbows and I really wished he would have I still have some fat in the lower arms. I have really large knees and would definately want them done so I might have to find another surgeon that would be willing to do what I want next time. 

Did you have your lower legs done? Your knees done? I've read where it's hard to find a surgeon that will past the knee. I just hope I can come up with the money for everything. It's funny because I just had surgery 2 weeks ago today and I'm already talking about my next surgery. LOL

Hi Melissa, I would love it if you would add me, as I am a year out now, and am waiting to lose a little more before going to a surgeon for plastics.  I have quite a muffin top and am going to try to lose more so maybe I won't have to have lippo. I don't know if its fat or skin.   So I will keep workin at it, and workin' at it.  I heard from my bariatric Dr that my insurance wants me to be at a stable weight for 6 months before they will pay for plastics, so I have a while.  I would love to see your progress.  Thanks in advance.  And best of luck to you.

Sure Reggie, I will add you!!  Yeah, you really do wanna wait till you are stabalized as your body continues to shift around some.  Just keep doing your thing and that time will be here before you know it!!

I will add you now.. thanks again.
