WORTH IT$8,000

45y.o., no children, RNY 5/13/13, 150-lb loss with muscle building and body sculpting. I've consulted with Dr Scott Wrye in Reno, NV. We've planned Medial & Bilateral Thigh Lift, TT with muscle repair (lots of planks, cardio, HIIT and weight training means no lipo needed anywhere) and BA. No insurance; all out-of-pocket... I'm
Pretty sure it's gonna be worth it!

Yikes, lana2000, those were some substantial saddle bags you were sportin'. I can only imagine the joy you must be experiencing in bidding them both 'adieu'. I know the feeling well, having just divested myself of a pair of wattles that would have embarrassed a bloodhound. Bless plastic surgery and all of these top qualified magicians (like my Dr. Stephen Mulholland), who have given us our lives and self-confidence back. These days, I strut about with my shoulders back and a smile on my face, fully made up and dressed to the nines, loving the world and just knowing that it's loving me back! I haven't felt so great in years.

Good morning Louisainthewoods, Thank you for your positive comments. I knew this surgery would affect me, but I never realized how much. I am so THANKFUL to have the opportunity to finish my transformation! Next up.... TT and BA in March.

Thanks for sharing your story. Yours legs looks very good. When are you having your tummy tuck and why you need muscle repair? I had a tummy tuck with muscle repair in 2012. I needed the muscle repair because i have 2 kids.

My TT and BA is sorta scheduled for early March, depending on my recovery from the thigh lift. I was over 200 lbs for the last 35 years, and was over 300 lbs of those last 10. I have stretched my 6-pack into a 12-pack and Dr. Wrye says he will give me the tummy that I've NEVER had that I've earned during the last 24 months!!!

Day 2, CG off to clean and re-dress incisions

Lana2000November 11, 2014

I came out of anesthesia like a champ. No nausea. No complications. I have 24/7 care; they are keeping me on med schedule. No pain, just a bit uncomfortable. Able to eat my protein and get my water in. Incisions are the white tape lines. I am soooooo happy!

Tips, tricks and gadgets.

Lana2000November 12, 2014

1. Get a walker; it'll give you more stability.
2. Get a lifted toilet seat; it'll give you 2 handles and you won't have to sit as far down.
3. Get a shower chair (or use the lifted toilet seat.
4. Wear a sports bra; place your drain grenades in there to get 'em out of the way.
