10 Month Update
WORTH IT$5,500
I finally moved forward with my breast lift and augmentation surgery with Dr. Ciaravino. He is a miracle worker! It was exactly 9 months after my sleeve surgery. My weight seemed to stabilize around 145 in September so I figured it was time. Seeing these two pictures side by side makes me cry. What a difference. What a year. I feel so good.

9 Months Post Surgery
Feeling great. Hit 145 at month 7 and have been hovering around this weight for two months. I think the weight loss from surgery is over and my body has hit its new normal weight. I'd like to lose 10 more pounds to hit 135 but it's not necessary. I would have to work out more (currently only walking 3 days a week for 2 or 3 miles each time). I am definitely not getting in the recommended (required) 64 oz of water everyday but I have hit those 60 grams of protein everyday. I'm a size 6 jeans (stretchy/jeggings), size 6 dress, and size 6 top. Un friggin' believable. I am scheduled for a breast lift with implants November 30th, but I will create a separate review for that. I can't believe how fast things have been going. I don't really see any difference in how I look from the last update but those clothes are looser and I really need to go shopping now to find things that fit me appropriately.

You look FANTASTIC! Look into fasciablasting (add .com and you can get to the website) to tighten loose skin - works incredibly for increasing skin elasticity and moisture to improving circulation.
Thank you so much, Linda!! Oh wow, I didn't know about faciablasting. Looking into that right now!! LOL :D
You look absolutely great! I was going to say FANTASTIC! but Linda4878 already took that adjective!! :)
Did your pain subside as your weight dropped?
Thank you, Linnnie!! Yes, I have significantly less pain in my legs and knees. My plantar fasciitis is gone and so is my meralgia paresthetica (numbness and tingling in thigh). I feel like I can actually MOVE now. It's so easy that you WANT to be active. It just feels good!
Thank you for all of this!!! You look freaking fantastic.
Thank you so much!!
You look great. I'm already planning on a lift and implants when I get down to my goal weight. Skin removal too
Yes! I think it will really give us an extra boost and confidence!
You look amazing ! Was your cost with or without insurance ?
Thank you so much! Cost is without insurance. I did not qualify.
