I have practically lived on this site for the past year. This site helped me pick my doctor! So I decided I should give back and talk about my own experience. Hopefully it will help somebody else and to be honest I need the support as well! :) I have lost about 90 pounds through the years. I am currently 5'5/5'6 and 165 lbs. I'm young, mid 20's, no children, but I have never had a body that I liked. Ever, I grew up fat and when I lost the weight I am left with saggy breast, a sagging stomach, back and arms! Hopefully I will go back and get the back taken care of later in the future.
I picked my doctor after MUCH deliberation. Seriously, I must have looked at more than 100 doctors. I wanted somebody who did beautiful, natural looking breast and a good tummy tuck with a low scar. Much harder than it looks lol. Also needed to feel comfortable with the doctor. I finally decided to go with Dr. Hochstein. I haven't seen any pictures of his with weight loss patients but I made sure to see pictures with stomachs and breast close to mine and they look great! Nice thin low incisions and natural looking breast! My dream come true.
Currently I am preparing for surgery by becoming as healthy as possible. I am starting a clean eating program (tomorrow). Won't lie if I lose some more weight I won't cry about it! :) I've been stuck at 165 for a while now but wouldn't mind dropping some more before the surgery. I'll keep you guys updated!

OMG, 11 weeks and 4 days to go! Well started my clean eating diet last Wednesday and it went well. I'm doing 80/20, eating clean 80 percent of the time. The other 20 percent is just portion control. The results have been pretty good. Hoping I can keep this up!
10/28- 76.5 kg (168.7)
11/3- 74.3 kg (163.8)
To be honest my first weigh in was a day after that time of the month and a heavy dinner the night before (as I knew I was starting my diet) so that is probably why the loss is so great. However, I lost and I hope I can keep up this momentum.
Starting to get nervous. I hate the idea of anesthesia. I'm also working on making a list. I don't have a lot of money to spare so I'm having to make a list of things I ABSOLUTELY need. So no recliner for me, going to have to make due with pillows. No pill separator...my mom will have to do that lol. My mom is taking care of me and ended up getting a vacation home that is seriously high class! Looks like I will be recovering in style. It's my mom's vacation too so I guess she wanted to relax in style. Plus we will have to be in the house for a while so I guess my mom wants to be comfortable. She's paying for it so I'm not going to fight her. :)
