Lift Those Girls Up and Reduce Those Thighs! - Newport Beach, CA

You're silly! Everyone has typos it's like journaling:)
You're right too. As far as a lift goes. I've seen augs without lifts and there terrible. It just makes the problem worse!!
I don't know I'd your saw my undate today but it looks like I'll be only able to do the thigh reduction and have to wait until next year to do thr boobs:( as I'm planning on having a lower body lift next year, it makes sense to do the boobs then too as we are pulling money out from retirement. My only other choice is to go to a different surgen. The truth is though, I only want Agha to work on me. I don't know what it was, but I felt he was the one. I think it's important to trust the dr you use and while I'm not a hippy, he just "felt" right. Even before I spoke to him. I saw him walk through his office as I was waiting to meet with him and there is just something about the way he carries himself. Not sure what it is but he has something. Additionally, his staff are top-notch. He's very lucky to have such intelligent and helpful employees.
Where are you thinking about going? Are you in southern Cali?

I'm so happy you have a good man:) mine took me as I was at close to 300 pounds. Image is not very important to him, but I am, so I'm very lucky. Weird how I felt so sexy when I was fat and not now!
I've met with him one time and we discussed lift and aug. I'm not wanting to go super big, maybe a large b or small c cup.

I think you're right Baystater! I think I will stay in the US and have the surgery performed by Dr. Agha. Might be as early as next Saterday! I'm excited and yet, like you were able to empathize with, feeling guilty about spending the money on myself. I had a long discussion with hubby tonight about spending the money. He was good about it but made it clear it had to be my decision. He's a good guy. I'm going to talk to the office manager tomorrow about whether we are on for next Saterday and I'll provide an update tomorrow.
Hope you're happy and loved,
K

Thank you, Angie.
I guess I feel the freedom to express myself in this community so Im being honest about cause and effect. The food issue is one I still battle/manage today. Everyday. It's the quick fix of "ah" when we are stressed, feel bad or any other combination of emotions life throws us hour to hour.
I lost weight at the beginning because it wear life or death. I remember vividly two things that prompted me to make a change. First, I remember getting on public transport, a bus, and the bus shifting down when I stepped onto it. And, the second thing was I remember getting ready for school and getting in the car, starting it, let it warm up, looking in the rear vision mirror and realized that only the car was ready to go into public. I got out of the car and went back into the house. That day I told my dad I needed help or I was going to kill myself. He was a teacher at the equivalent to a community college in Australia (which is where I am from but have been in the states for 18 years) and he went into work and told them he was not coming back that semester to teach. He walked with me everyday and cooked healthy foods. We spent all day every day together for 3 months. I lost 40 pounds. It was then that my mother (who had divorced my father 2 years prior) had met a man on a plane from LA to Chicago and was going to get married to him, despite the fact she knew him for 2 weeks; I then moved to America at 19.
I spent the next 6 years at 265 to 255 pounds while living in America. Then in 2000 I finished my MA and realized that if I could study and complete the MA then I could do what my father had taught me years ago...to walk for an hour a day and not each junk. I would make huge amounts of broccoli and carrots with Indian spice and eat it all day. Maybe 5-6 pounds of it! I was never hungry and the weight fell off fast. In four months I lost 60 pounds and the more and more. The trick was the amount of food...loads...but not carbs. I walked every day for an hour and finally made it into the 190s, then 180s, then 170, and below.
I am still the same person, but I know people see me differently. Thats the funny thing about being a former fat girl. I know what those people who are nice to me know would have thought and said about me behind my back. I think getting fat from 12-22 was a good thing (except for the sagging skin) because I learned to treat people, all people with respect and not to judge based on external appearance. Not of color, race or ethnicity. I just love people and can really see truth behind what people say because there were so many people who were mean when I was the "fat girl".
As for the surgery, because I'm again concerned about the money and feeling like I should not spend money on myself...I'm toying with the idea of mexico for the work. Not sure what to do.
