Posted 5 May 2011

I am a 30 years young momma of 2. And at 5'6 170-180 I have lost 100lbs via a Vertical Sleeve. I have had enough with the extra skin so it is time to get it removed. I struggled with weight gain all my life. So now holding 2 years with current weight. I am ready for a breast lift, tummy tuck and lipo. I want to be able to wear a 2 piece and show my stomach.

I had my 1st consult last week I have 2 more scheduled next week. I have lots of price quotes for Reno and salt lake but I may have to fly down there for a few days to see in person for consults if I don't find a Dr up here.

I am getting anxious for consults... been with personal trainer now for 2 weeks. I am so sore it feels like I already had tt. lol...

ok had 2nd consult today. It wasnt bad did like him better than 1st dr. I am having issues with the DR's not willing to do back lipo at the same time.I have found the dr.s in reno and slc will do it but none up here. All are board certified. I just dont understand why some will and some wont. Did or has anybody ran into this problem?

Ok had my 3rd consult and I feel confident with him. The 2nd dr wasnt bad but he wouldnt do an extened he wanted me to come back and give me a local anesthetic and cut out my sides in the office. I was like WHAT????. SO I like this dr and he says my breast should be left along until after this surgery to see where I really want to be. I have good fullness and size 38DD. I just want them up high. But this dr will do body lift which includes tummy tuck, hips, back and butt lift. He says I could get done as soon as June 2nd. So I will see. I need to sleep on it. And I really like the fact that I wouldnt have to fly anywere. Only 30 mins from our house. Has anybody else had this procedure done?

So emotional roller coaster. Husband was talking to my father and he let it slip out I was going to have tt and my own father called me a F idiot and all I would do is go out and cheat on him. What the heck dude....

ok so got my pre op date June 28 and surgery July 12. Going to have lower body lift with DR.O out of Post Falls, ID. Kids are now out of school so time to plan for summer fun around schedule. I hope aftr 2 weeks i will be able to get around a bit. I know exercise is will be @least 6 weeks. Anybody else have this procedure done. Still meeting with my trainer once a week and been busy with the n/w largest theme park in my back yard. Roller coasters and water parks will keep you active. and kids dragging you from spot to spot..lol

Well I am having to postpone surgery due to engine, boatsteering and truck rear end trouble. So the next time I can have surgery wont be until winter vac kids have me busy with football and cheer but atleast i can still enjoy the summer! It just gives me more time to get in better shape. I am sad but thats real life! Happy 4th to you all

Congratulations on your weight loss! I am so happy you are doing this for yourself! I think it's great that you are working out with a personal trainer. Getting your self in tip top shape will not only help with your results but with recovery as well. Keep us updated on your surgery :)

I hope you are able to find the right plastic surgeon. It is so great that you have lost so much weight and deserve to have that extra skin removed. I am 5'6" 160 lbs. and am so excited about being able to wear a 2 piece again!
wahunter 11 May 2011
Thank you I think I have now. I know I am excited , it wont get rid of all of the stretch marks but most of them. I have never wore a 2 piece that wasn't a tankini. Hope your surgery goes well too!

Hi Wahunter,

I'm sorry you've had to postpone your surgery but Trish is right, it's not long until you can go through with it. You're doing the hardest part in maintaining your weight loss. You're doing a great job!
