Well guys I'm almost halfway to my goal weight 20...

Well guys I'm almost halfway to my goal weight 20 lbs down 27 more to go. The lap band is awesome! Now I've been approved for my breast reduction/lift which will be in July so I asked my surgeon if I could pay a Little extra to get some lipo done at the same time to save $ since most of the cost are from operating room, anesthesia ect..fees. He said he'll work something out so I'm excited to see what all he'll tell me what all can go on the insurances dime instead of mine. So I'm trying to figure out should I just ask him to do my full back & sides then transfer to butt & worry about my stomach later. My stomach has went down but I know it's going to look bigger when they reduce my breast but I'm kinda scared for him to mess with my tummy until my Bariatric dr says i can get the TT done.

Well i get my lapband on 1/24 u usually lose 30lbs...

Well i get my lapband on 1/24 u usually lose 30lbs between the pre/post-op diet & i only want to lose 20-25 more lbs after that so i talked to the dr about how soon can I get a TT/ BBL. He said i shouldnt during the reshaping phase which is 6-1yr after i reach my goal weight which could take about 3 months after Sx. I am so disappointed bc I cant imagine having to go 1 more yr with this butt & muffin top. I understand what he's saying b/c when you lose weight the visceral fat goes as well (the fat that lipo cant help-under rib cage around vital organs,it is what widens you to not have a shape & look like a quarterback..lol) so ill have a diff frame & I shouldnt do all that around a frame I wont have anymore. So I was thinking maybe in June I will just mess with the fat on top & get liposculpting so that my appearance can look better for the time being until my bones finishes reshaping after the visceral fat loss & wait until nxt yr for the rest. Alot of Dr's that I had a consult with told me that even if I didnt get a BBL that if they sculpted the contour of my back & waist my butt would look better because i do have a little bit of booty its just you cant tell where it starts because there's no separation between it & my back. Cardena's & Dodds are 2 of the best liposculpters i've seen. What would u guys do if u were in my shoes?

Hey guys I know its been a while since I've posted...

Hey guys I know its been a while since I've posted but of course I'm still on here following ur journeys. So the person that was going to give me their date gave it to someone else. I guess she thought i was b.s.ing bc i wasnt moving fast but hey when ur $ is involved u gotta make sure ur end is right. I cant let my desperation blind my rationale. But I guess it was a blessing in disguise bc since I had planned Sx all hell broke loose in my life from my husband leaving me, to having to drop out of school, having to try to figure out how I could make it with all the new bills I've accumulated over this marriage, my 15yr old son turning into my worst nightmare & now back to working towards reconciliation with my husband and losing my job all while maintining my sanity....ok so now that I got all that out......this is where I'm at on my journey- since I had to wait I decided to go thru with getting the lap band which consist of 6 mths of visits to a nutrionist, a psychologist, seminar, & group therapy to prepare u & so that insurance will pay. I figured it would be like insurance for my lipo & bbl to make sure I can maintain the body I'm about to pay for. So today was my last pre-op visit, all papers are being submitted to the insurance co. so I'm looking at jan or feb for the lap band Sx & all I can think of is how soon after that can I get the the good stuff done? Will the dr know how to work around the port from the lap band, ect? So I'm hoping by may-June I'll be ready for the lipo,TT, & Bbl
