61 Ready for New Life - Birmingham, AL

I posted some pictures that I took. My next step is to talk to Dr. to see if he would please consider doing the body and breast same day.

When I discussed doing my surgeries separately my PS recommended the body lift first and then doing arms/breasts as a 'package' so he could get a better result. Also you have to positively stop smoking otherwise I've seen pictures on RS of complications

I haven't had a problem quitting. Started back smoking a 5 or 6 months ago because i Was Stressed out. Liked the taste of menthol again. But I want this surgery so bad I can do without the smoking. I still will have the Arm/Lift and Thigh life to do if he will consider doing the Breast and body lift at same time. Just praying he will consider it.

Doh! I just saw a 9/26 surgery date. I thought it was going to be "two weeks from 8/15. Sorry. Good luck to you, sweetie!

I'll be sure and post some. Getting excited. I know this will be a long weekend.

Did you have the full body lift where they cut you all the way around? Hoping they can pull it up enough to keep my butt from being saggy, Getting real excited can't wait to start my new life. because this one couldn't get any worse,

I did! My butt lost all fullness at the bottom, lose skin just hanging there and hard to sit comfortably. Was researching butt lifts when I found out about the lower body lift. Will never be thin, but had lost 80 lbs. Figured might as well have whole thing - front and back - done at one time so only one recovery. My butt was both lifted and augmented to fill in the deflation (excess skin and my lipo'ed fat used, no implants.) Still a little sore, but healing well, getting around and SO happy with results. Once my post-surgery weight gets stable, I may get breast lift, too!

Who preformed your surgery and the cost please thanx

I'm getting excited again now that I know what this thing on my neck is. A abscess. Hope after the holiday monday I can get the ENT to clean it out and clear me for surgery so I can get my transformation back on go again. Was so down when my surgery was canceled 8/29 because of this abscess. Got a lot of friends pulling for me because they know how much I need this to make myself feel worthy and proud of myself. Of course they don't really understand why anyone would want to have something like this done, actually probably no one does that if they are not in the same boat. They don't know what it is like to be ashamed of your body, your friends think they are helping when they say (I don't know why your going to do this your beautiful) sure they aren't the one that's in love with someone that is discussed by the sight of your body. You know that you're never going to have the one that you truly love but just hope someday that someone will come in your life and you don't have to worry about turning them off if you get involved.
I know everybody has these same kind of friends and it funny sometimes listening to them tell you for your age you are beautiful. I would be proud to be with you. That's easy to say when you know there is no chance in hell that that is going to happen.
sorry I know this sight isn't about mental issues, and I'm really not crazy. I'm just a older woman that's now a widow and thought she had found her new lease on life when for a year a younger man became her new lease of life and then have it ripped out from underyou. So wanted to believe age didn't matter because he made me want to be a woman for the first time in years only to be shot down and heart stomped on. Sad part is I'll never stop loving or wanting to be with him. So all I can achieve is in a few months when I'm threw, is say this is what could have been yours. Just hoping I can get a half decent smoking hot body and tell him to eat his heart out.
Sorry I feel much better now.

So glad it's filling your dream. I'm still in the hurry up lets find out what the heck is this crazy thing on neck deal. I think it's some kind of stopped up gland that the first antibotics have just ticked it off and it's getting bigge. At first it didn't hurt or anything this morning it's becoming uncomfortable. Had 2 shots of strong antibotics yesterday and start on pretizone and some other kind today. Waiting on call to go do Catscan. Surgery has been put on hold until they find out if this thing is free from cancer. So I'm kind of fricking out a little right now never considered it being more than a bactieral infection. So it might be a few weeks before I can do surgeries. Keep me posted on your results. I'm hoping to be able to start mine soon
