I Took the Plunge!!

WORTH IT$17,500
My journey seems to have started a lifetime ago. Saying I struggled with weight from the age of 7 on is an understatement. Jenny Craig at 12, dupont and children's hospital nutrition programs, Ww all my teens, thousands spent on personal trainers and gyms, nutrisystem and yoyo diets. I finally chose a Lapband at age 25 (after my 1st child and being 300lbs) and lost over 100lbs!! The journey continued with weight regain with my 2nd child 7 years ago. In the last 2 yrs I have come to a happy place, though even at 147lbs I hated my skin and flapjack breasts. Body dysmophia is no joke.
All throughout my weight journey I wanted plastic surgery to remove the skin and fix my chest but I didn't know where to start. I joined this site several years ago and this site has helped me find confidence and the absolute best surgeon for me, Dr. Bidic. He was in my top 6 who I had consultations with and I chose him over the others based on how he made me feel during our consultation. The others were professional and kind, but Dr. Bidic took extra time to really talk to me about my expectations as well as what would be best. I also had a fee friends have work through him and their results are all amazing. My results are only 2 weeks into the healing process but my body is completely changed!
I had struggled with "mom guilt " as well during this process by Not wanting to put so much money into myself for vanity sake. All I have to say is DO IT! You live one time!
Get yourself a reliable person to help you that 1st week.

UPDATE!

My surgery was August 2021, we are now closing off December and let me tell you, I have never been more excited for my " winter body" I feel AMAZING! The healing is continuous, I lost a lot of hair due to the trauma of undergoing such a dramatic surgery but it has subsided almost completely. I still feel the tightness in my abdomen and working 12+ hour shifts I feel swelling in my lower abdomen at the end of the day. I've been exercising regularly again and see such amazing results in areas that would never ever show before! I am not perfect, no amount of surgery can fix the damage I allowed my previous self to go through. But I am extremely happy with how Dr Bidic helped me see my true self underneath all that skin and fat!

Added more photos now that I am almost 5 months out. Scars are healing well. Tightness continues in my midsection. No restrictions on exercise except no crutches or sit ups ever. I'm okay with that lol
