Thanks :)

General anesthesia is more dangerous than twilight sedation and I get super nasueas from it. After my VSG i woke up vomiting from it. After the twilight sedation I honestly just felt like I had a nap.

Wow Stacy, sounds like a traumatic month...that being said, the pic you posted is beautiful! You look really great! I hope I look as good as you after plastics (I'm still at least 6+ months away). I hope things continue to heal well, but congrats on your results!

Thank you for your update Stacy. You look fabulous!

I have been thinking of you and wondering how your recovery was going. I'm sorry about the complications but glad to know they are resolving themselves. Thanks for sharing about the arm lift. I am wondering if I will need it or not. I'm glad your Dr advised you agains it if it wasn't worth it for significant results.

I will certainly keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

It varies for everyone. If you send Dr. S pictures he will give you a quote. For the works I have heard anything in the range of 15 - 25k. He has a group on here with more information or you can check out his website:

Thank you for sharing your experience!! I know I will want plastics, but I need to be prepared for all of the possible complications. I am more nervous about the plastics than the sleeve surgery! I will pray for you to heal safely and quickly!

And you look AMAZING!!!! (Whistle) Absolutely stunning!! :)
