Wow that's really awesome
was the plastic surgery more painful than wls?
and whats healing like with your thigh lift (where are the scars etc..)
I'm so happy a young person is finally talking about there plastic surgery it's gonna make it alot easier for those of us that might choose to get ps afterwords
I would also love to see pictures
and I'm wishing you a speedy recovery

You look stunning sweetie! I'd also like to see your PS photos. Did you take before and afters? You should really start a website so that we can keep up with you.
Did you have the RNY or the band? Is there anything you regret? Any advice? Did insurance cover your WLS? Did they cover the PS?
~*~*~*~CONGRATULATIONS~*~*~*~
you look absolutely AMAZING! Wow! And you know what?! I totally like the brunette versus the blonde. It makes u look more sultry. Congrats on ur PS. Looks like u lost what? an extra 10 pounds after it. WoooOooO WeeEEe!!
Well, I'm 6 1/2 months post op...and ew. I'm already starting to see where my body needs work. It needs work in SO many more places. Gross. The arms and boobs are my number 1 priority, but I'm so scared of having to go under the table again. I am not one to withstand much pain. But then again...I go to bed every night grabbing, squeezing, and swinging that extra skin under my arm around. It totally bothers me...BAD! I know...how gross, but it's true! I'm so obsessed with it, I can't help staring at it. I think the only thing to make me feel better is if I actually get rid of it. It's a dreadful thought, tho.

thanks for all your sweet comments everyone! im actually now working on my own website so u can all see my story and before and after pics! when its up i will let u know. its so great that we can all share the WLS experience together and to know that we are all pioneers! its been well over a month since my ps and i am soo happy. i had very little pain practically none to speak of, it was just mainly uncomfortable/restlessness for a little while. my insurance company covered the bill for the hospital stay,anestisia, and operating room costs but did not cover my surgeons costs which is more and more common. i had to pay 8800 out of my own pocket but let me tell you it was well worth it. my scars are already fading, i have a flat tummy and tone thighs and even a cute little belly button! ive never been so happy about my body. sure i still have some loose skin under my arms and my boobs are a little saggy but ya know what? i am finally where i want to be and its all worth everything i went through when i was heavy. thanks for your support and i will be posting the address to my website soon!
love always, alicia
