Ok, here goes, I have been on this site religiously for months. I joined officially in January. I'm scheduled for a TT, BBL and possible BA in May. Here is my story, I had a gastric bypass in 2010 and have lost 130 pounds. My current weigh is 180. I feel so blessed to have had the surgery because it changed my life. I could hardly do anything at 312 pounds. Now I have so much energy and feel great..EXCEPT...without clothes, my body is a HOT MESS!!!! THE FAT WENT BUT THE SKIN DECIDED TO STAY. Everything sags!!

I really need a total body lift but cannot afford the procedures. I checked with plastic surgeons here in NC and was given a quote for $16,000, that was just for a tummy tuck and breast implants. After that quote last year, I gave up looking. Well fast forward and thanks to the internet, I came across this site and starting researching other plastic surgeons. Yily's results blew me away and her prices are right up my alley.

So after sending her my information, I was given a quote of $5,500 for TT, BBL and BA w/implants. I'm still on the fence about having 3 procedures at once so if anyone has had this done, please share your insight. If I decide not to do breasts, my TT and BBL will be 3900. Deposit is already paid.

I already have my passport, plane ticket and reservations at Playa de Sol, switching to the recovery house 3 days after surgery then back to the hotel.

After seeing all the love and support you ladies give, I decided to blog my journey as well.

I am anemic even though I have been taking iron supplements for the past 3 months everyday, my hemoglobin is still only 8. I will start iron infusions tomorrow and will go once a week for 4 weeks. This work out perfectly. By the time I see Yily on May 12, my iron should be at least to the acceptable 12. Im so excited about this surgery. I started ordering supplies last week.

Arnica Montana
Chux
Funnel
Dyna-Hex 4
Boppy Body Pillow

I will have to look at other posts to see what else I need.

I want to know what type of compression garment I need. Some say butt in some, butt out..we will see. Im all about saving a buck so if I don't have to give Yily $140

Its 45 days until my surgery. I'm not nervous yet. I won't get nervous until I'm actually sitting in front of the dr getting marked up. I guess you call it delayed reaction. Having mad issues with my guy. I don't know whats going to happen with him but we will see. Right now I have decided to concentrate on me and my needs. I have spent the better part of my 45 years making sure that everyone around me was ok. Now it's my turn. My children are grown and flourishing so now mama gon get her groove back.

I have spent too long in this body that, well Im not going to say I despise but I will say, Im not proud of my body. I look great in clothes but out of clothes is terrible. I'm not expecting miracle, just an improvement.
