That sounds like a good interim solution to me ! You'll be able and inspired to exercise much more and lose that last 40 ! Hugs
I do realize that however i am trying to lose at least 40 more pounds before undergoing any plastics but the rashes and yeast infections are a bummer deal. So I will keep on treating them but if my insurance will approve the skin removal to prevent the infections I will have it done.

I saw on the other forums that you recently talked to your surgeon and got appetite suppressants. Are you planning to lose more weight? It's probably a good idea to wait until your weight stays stable before getting plastics.

Thank you so much for your response! I am back down to 149 and continuing to stay hydrated but lose about 1-1.5 lb a day. Crisis averted lol.
I pretty much had everything done LBL, Brachio, BL w/ Aug and thighs. It was about 11 years ago so I'm sure pricing has changed and I did have insurance pay for the panni portion and hospital stay. I think total it was about $23k or so.
May I ask what procedures did you have and how much did you have to pay?

I'm in GR and years ago used Dr. Andrew Livingston. He has office space in with Grand Health Partners. He and his office staff did everything they could to help me get my insurance to cover it. After an appeal they did cover my panni portion and the hospital stay.
Since he does share office space and doesn't have his own facility like a lot of the other plastic surgeons I found his pricing very reasonable. My cousin who works for a plastic surgeon said I got a great deal as for what I paid for all 4 procedures they probably would have charged for just one.
swelling after plastic surgery is very normal. It's usually the worst the first 2-3 months, although for some people it can last up to a year (although it's not as bad - and not as often - as it was the first 2-3 months). I don't think I gained weight after my first plastic surgery, but I did after my second. As long as you've stuck to your food plan, it's likely just fluid from the swelling.
Hi everyone, I am 32 years old and had my first round of plastics last Tuesday, September 3 -- an arm lift and a breast lift w/ aug. I weighed 144 that morning and yesterday I weighed in at 158. I am GOBSMACKED omg. The compression garments help a lot but they just squish out all the fluid to adjacent areas like my wrists/hands and abdomen. I am really just all around swollen. My thighs haven't touched in years and suddenly even they are chafing again.
I see my surgeon tomorrow for our one week post-op appointment and have sent her pics and I also saw her at day 3 post-op for her to change the dressings on my arm. My surgeon has tried to reassure me the swelling is normal and I really do trust her, but 14 pounds normal? Did anyone else go through this?
No Dr Sauceda is affiliated with a full service totally modern hospital .
He assigned a nurse to me post op and she cane to the hotel twice a day to change dressings and help me bathe - I felt so good after 3 days I flew home !
it was a little difficult to manage the post op compression garments and washing them every day at home but my fiancé helped a lot also with showering and washing hair and we got through it together ... he actually said it was kind of hot ... like having a life size inflatable doll :0
