Body Lift!! Yes!

Thank you for the awesome video and updates. I love your "ladies you can do this. You are worth it. Jump in and do it for you." Loved that attitude. I think many of us do feel a bit of guilt for doing this, so that helps a lot to see others make the jump, and love the elevation of self esteem. We are worth it.

I'm curious why you didn't opt for a lower body lift. You mentioned that you have cottage cheese marks on your bum. Lifts do sometimes, sort of, help with that. You look FABULOUS, so I don't mean to take away from that, but you've been so helpful with your insights, etc., that I wanted to know know your thought process on that.

And your breast lift looks SO great too!

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! :)

That's an awesome plan. Me too! I just to be a stable weight.

Have you heard of Dr. Sauceda in Mexico? I would never consider that, but I've read a lot of people on another site that go to him, like 100's over the years, and have great results, attentive aftercare, he takes credit cards and the price is less. Obviously I don't want money to dictate something serious like this, but I'm intrigued.

You?

His site isn't what has intrigued me, it's the patients that I read on another weightloss site. It's almost like a cult following.

Looking great! Your scar is healing nicely. Looks like a good job on the doc's part and yours in doing your best to care for your scar. I would be super happy with a scar like that. Good for you and you're not that far out from surgery.

The VJ thing kind of sucks, but as you say, keepin' the faith. Seems that that is a common issue. Odd though. Guess it's just part of healing.

I do have a question though, you said "you popped the stitch." Did you do something or did it just happen with everyday wear and tear?

You look so great by the way!

Thank you. I am busy making myself crazy reading and getting anxious. I do feel that at some point I have to say I've done the best I can, picked the right surgeon, have everything in place and say a little prayer.

I think BMI of 28 is great. I'm still at the obese level though so to get the best results I can for the money and to know I've done the best I could, I would like to lose more.

Glad to hear about the seroma not being a big deal. It is common I guess. And yes, a lower body lift is the biggest plastic surgery they do and with that comes big risks. But, possibly, big benefits.

I have read of some people who have not faired well (still swollen years after procedure, loss of feeling, uneven results), etc. We all go into this hoping it won't be us, but just like life, we never know.

Thank you for your post. And you look so great. Seriously! What an accomplishment.
