When to contact Drs!?!?
$7,000
In my mind I am thinking when I am down to about 60lbs to go I will start reaching out to Drs and documenting on IG and YT my surgery journey although I am hella researching now. I have several in mind that I really want but more research has to be done also I truly want to see what my skin is starting to look like when the weight comes off. Am I going to have sagging skin? What shape am I truly? I don't believe going in now with pictures for the Dr's and what not is going to be much help because they won't touch me at this point. I am starting to get my list of questions together though to have. I hope to be down these 60 lbs in about 8 to 9 months (truly I am going for 6 months but you know it happens when it happens.) How soon do you guys think I should start contacting Drs? More than 60 lbs out?

My starting pictures
As I stated previously I have a good amount of weight to lose before I will even consider having surgery. One of my good friends is In the DR right now and just got out of surgery. It's a big deal and before I become #team any surgeon I want to be sure I have done everything that I need to do to get up off that table. While I have in mind what surgeries I want to have I believe that that can change once my weight comes off. The need may be different but my need for a nice size apple bottom won't change at all...no matter what I'm getting my skin waist and ample butt

No problem it was hard to do but I want others who are like me and thinking this is out of reach for them to see I did it so can they!!!

It will help you too- posting before pics and then regular after pics during your healing process will really help you see the full picture. It is hard to see when you are living it day to day. Thanks again :)

I am looking at my journey in 2 phases....weight...
I am looking at my journey in 2 phases....weight loss and then surgery. I have to obtain the proper and healthy BMI in order to have this surgery so I figure that that will take me some time, that is why I picked a surgery date that is exactly 2 yrs from now on my 36th birthday. I am going to be vlogging this whole experience because after I lose this weight I want to not only be healthier but have the body that I have always wanted and I know won't be able to shine thru the saggy skin and what not. I am here to learn, research and encourage. Even if we have a lot of weight to lose prior to having our surgery it doesn't mean that it isn't possible, it just truly tests how bad you want this.

True enough. We ladies have to stop and smell the roses for "ourselves" on "our" time. You stick to your time frame and every step of the way will put you just that much closer to your dream body. You can do this! Smile!!!

What helped me lose weight was Slim quick nutritional supplement and a juice diet with fruits and vegetables also cut out sweets and soda and trying to quit smoking that's the hardest and I am like u I want this badly I went from 215 lbs to 205 lbs in 30 days I will continue to follow your journey so good luck.

I have definitely dropped sodas and I look for better sweet options. I have to say that so far I am doing well with sticking it out....thanks for following my journey I am super excited about this all myself

I did the HCG diet. I went 200lbs to 174 lbs in 40 days. Its a good diet because you loose stored fat and its hard to gain back. Good luck

Thanks for the suggestion...I am looking for more of a permanent solution and that starts with me changing my lifestyle and making the correct food choices and exercising! So glad that HCG worked out for you....I have heard great things about it
