today is 1 year since it all started
well 1 yr ago today I had my TT &hysterectomy & thats how it all started.
In October of last year 2008 I found out I had Cervical cancer and I needed a total hysterectomy well I was so distraught over all this, I thought of having a TT @ the same time caus w with the panni overhang I would not have healed right, put in for insurance but was denied first time I didn't have time for an appeal cause I had to get rid of the cancer and I was not going to get my belly cut twice so my GYN agreed to do surgery with the Plastic Surgeon and I was just thrilled it took my mind off the dangers of the cancer within my body,.BTW, I am cancer free now YEAH.
I only ever wanted my belly done it has been big forever, clothes didn't fit right cause I always had skinny legs. so now that was done and all the cancer removed and I was a happy camper.
I look in the mirror and now my legs looked horrible so now back for surgery in April 2009 for inner thigh lift back & butt lift. looks great .
then I look again and my arms are bad , and my eyes and I see some fat deposits on my upper abdomen that i didn't have before my skin was tight and it looked like fat or cellulit , not happy so back to the O.R. and get my arms done and my eyes and lipo that was all done 19 days ago, ND i Am thrilled with it all. now I find out I need carpal tunnell surgery, I will have that done in April caus eI don' tlike to do anesthesia closer then every 3 months I want to give my body a rest now what can I have done with my carpaltunnell since that is paid for by insurance and my PS can do that.
I don't need my breast done, after my surgery for removal of the back & bra fat area my breasts are fine, they could be lifted a little but thats okay nothing that the miracle bra from Victoria secrets can't cure, friends that see me ask me what I had done to my Breasts and i had nothing done. I do not & never wanted implants so that is out of the question maybe next will be my turkey neck my DH says I don't need but he said if it makes me happy do it.
I don't know, maybe by the time I fini**** will be time to start over agine. Our body is like our house start one thing and you have to keep on going till its finished

I feel like I am painting one wall at a time in a dingy room! With each wall I paint it make the next look even worse, LOL! I don't think I will ever be able to afford to get by butt and thighs done, so I'll have to learn to live with them

Most importantly, I am glad you are cancer free!

Susan,
WOW what a year it has been! You look awesome. You've shared so much of your journey with me and I truly appreciate.
I'm so glad you are doing well, feeling well and looking fabulous!!! Most of all I'm so glad you beat the cancer thing.
I know what you mean about each surgery opening up the desire or need for another. I never thought I'd even consider a face lift but at this point I'm thinking why not put the bow on the whole pkg and go for a more youthful look. It's penciled in on my plan....I'll decide in January if I want to it or not.
CONGRATS on your success and your wonderful recovery!
Thanks for all your support and encouragement!

thanks and you are welcome Ruth.
you started your stuff around the same time as I did, so I feel like I have known you almost a year as well. I knew you since your first Brachio.
I know what you mean about the fac e thing. I will tell you though the eyes have opened up my whole face. they were not painful it was just annoying cause you have to keep blinking and the first 2 days with the eye oint oly @ night but it made my eyes blurry but like eeverything else it was so worth it

Let me know when you post some new photos of the eyes....I bet they look fantastic!
Congratulations on being cancer free - I so know what you mean and I can see the same thoughts in my future. I just had my first sx - anchor cut TT - and at 4 weeks out already can't wait to have the back and bra fat areas done - them maybe breasts - then what about my neck . . . . Sometimes I think I'm sick - can't I just be satisfied I mean I'm never going look like a Playboy Bunny - but then again if it can be improved ????
