Surgery yesterday - body lift, thigh lift, arm lift, flankplasty, breast lift

Have you seen my before pix? My mons was the worst ever, disfigured female sex organ. Now it is beautiful. It is so small and pretty. I love love love it. 

Please tell me about the collagen enhancer. I plan to do face and neck lift and implants, but I went well over budget on travel, extra fees for anesthesia, OR, care center, etc so I may no longer have the money for my final surgery. I had just enough to cover everything. There was no wiggle room. But I have got to finish this rather than put it off. Otherwise it will never get done.

I'm using an Estee Lauder serum and creme. There are two bottles and it's neck and face lift. I haven't seen a difference yet. I also have an appt at a local spa to get some sort of light treatment that stimulates the production of collagen. I will take before and after to see if it works.

How did you go over budget??

Surgery went beyond 6 hours so I believe there will be a cost for more anesthesia and OR time. I also stayed at the care center an extra night. Plus I had to pay for hotels when I had planned to stay with a friend. It all adds up! I just hope I have enough to do my final surgery.

I know you are going to look great!

Thank you!!! 

I'm so happy you're doing well - take it easy girl!

Thanks for the well wishes!

i saw your post and started reading through, including your interview with capella.  i'm just starting the process, so reading a chunk of your story, including how positive and wonderful you've been through the past week, has been truly inspiring.  i expect to have lots of excess skin and have been planning from the get-go to have plastic surgery after.  i'm anticipating that the intervening years between getting the VSG, losing 200 lbs and biding my time before having a whole body lift will be the most difficult in terms of self-image and feeling okay in my body.  up until the last few months, i've been quite comfortable in my skin.

i'm brand new here, but would love to see your pictures.  i'll send you a friend request.  if you decide not to accept it, i'll understand.

good luck on finally having most of the pieces in place to be beyond obesity.  i hope you'll have the funds to finish the journey.
