Hi fellow RSers. I've been following this sight for several months. It's great. It's encouraging and scary at the same time. I've been back and forth on this for over a year. I've finally made the commitment. I sometimes think I am going to maim a perfectly healthy body for vanity, I must be crazy. I work out regularly with aerobics and yoga, and have done for years. Even spent 10 years bodybuilding but there is no way to get rid of this pouch. I may even have my eyelids done at the same time. :)

Thank you for joining us.  You are not crazy wanting to do this.  There is nothing wrong with wanting to look and feel good about yourself.  Looking forward to seeing your results.

Good for you. I was 54 when I had surgery, almost a year ago now. I also worked out and was very active but just could not get rid of "the pouch". I can't tell you how happy I am to have gone through with it. The 1st 2 weeks post surgery is not fun but very doable and I was fully active again by 3 weeks post surgery except trying to be careful not to lift more than 30 pounds until 6 weeks post (I was too impatient to follow exact post op instructions but never suffered any). I also had a double mastectomy at the same time (not due to cancer - just didn't care to have breasts anymore - I am not a very feminine woman). Wish I had done both years ago.

19 days will be here before I know it. Heading to Vegas tomorrow for 2 weeks with my sisters. We will be staying at my condo. After that, one of my sisters will be staying on for an extra 2 weeks to care for me while I'm recuperating. May 25 is coming quickly. I was in Vegas last week and dropped in to Dr. Hankins office. He had no problem fitting me in without an appointment. I was very nervous but as soon as he started talking, I felt myself relaxing. His team seem to be very caring. I had decided I was going to get my eyes (above and below) done also at an extra cost of $5500 (discounted cause I was already under), but he told me there was no need for me to have my eyes done. :) Saved $5500 so I went shopping. LOL
