help! I have two questions. Weight and surgery and surgeon reccomendations in the Scranton Pa. or surrounding area?

I prepped for about 9 months for this surgery. Weight has always been a challenge for me and frankly, at age 44 I wasn't sure I would really ever get a grip on it. Last summer, I started working with a personal trainer 2 30-min sessions a week which got me on track to work out myself another 3 days a week. I toned my body up quite a bit and then started weight watchers online after 5 months of working out. I basically went from 245lb to 220lbs - some fat loss and some muscle gain. Boobs never changed throughout. After surgery, I weighed 210 -- about 5 lbs of tissue and no appetite got me there. Now I'm nearly 2 months post-surgery and back working out. I guess the upshot: a BR has helped me see I CAN have a body i feel proud of -- the boobs hid any good physical asset i had no matter what the weight was.... I'm really glad i did it after having had a foundation of toning and a little weight loss. I am really glad I didn't say to myself once again "I'll get a BR when I lose the weight."

I was 242 in march. Then I decided to look into BR. I weighed about the same (235)when I first saw my PS in April to scedual my BR. I went out and lost a few more pounds and got down to 225 the day od surgery. I weighed 220 a few days after my BR on May 25. Weight really is no big deal. The biggest problem is making sure your weight is steadyish. Mostly meaning making sire you are NOT gaining weight. There are a lot of people on here who have lost a lot of weight after BR just because they feel so much better and movement is much easier and more comfortable. If BR is something you want don't wait any longer than you have to. It really has made a huge wonderful change in my life. I was a 40H now a 40D. They removed almost 4 pounds of tissue.My Br really was a dream come true. Well worth it.
