SURGERY 2 IN 5 DAYS!!!!
I was SUPPOSE to be getting a breast lift during this surgery but last week my surgeon decided to NOT do the breast lift with the thighs. he apologized for saying that's how we were going to do it and said that at the time he must have been having a superman moment, but he says that my thighs will take a good 4 hours and that the revisions could be 2. We were originally scheduled for 8 hours but he is saying that a good breast lift requires more than a couple hours and due to surgeon fatigue from working on so many areas in the same block of time he wants to do the breasts later. This surgery was reduced to 6 hours. Am I mad that there is a change of plans this late into the game , NO, maybe frustrated but I very much like his honesty and this is not up to me.
I will say that I feel like the poster child for how not to screw up your body, it's amazing how much it has taken physically, mentally and financially to get my body looking some what normal again.. Does anyone else have these feelings?

My PS did not do side boob blubber and it really bothers me.
I was at a 2nd PS consult this week at another hospital in hopes of further Plastics. She wants me to do many blood tests and a lymphosyntography to check lymph nodes. If all is fine, she will consider operating on me. I still have medical review via my HMO but then is in January. I am hoping that all test results after scheduling and doing and reviewing will be enough time for this female PS by mid-December.
Everything is up in the air but that is okay.

I have followed you since my last surgery and you have gone through so much. Overall are you happy with your choice to have plastics, is there anything you would have done differently?

Which is why I went for a consult with this female PS that her specialty is Body Contouring After Weight-Loss.
Hmm-differently-maybe gone the female PS to begin with... But I don't regret what I've had done. Every surgery I've had done has had something weird. When i had my C-section in '85, I was in fir 12 days when other ladies were only in for six.

Don't let a chart or doctor dictate what you should weigh, it's a personal decision and one that only you can answer.
