Tummy Tuck, Chin Lipo, and Breast Lift with No Implant

Hi everyone!
Like most of us I have been stalking realself for years and after getting sooo much help from everyone else's stories it only seems fair to share my own! I honestly never thought I'd be able to do my own procedures since it's so hard to justify the price. About a year ago when I got serious about maybe having some work done I started looking into going abroad. I spoke to a lot of surgeons and read tons of reviews but I just couldn't seem to pull the trigger on it. Going out of the country just made me too nervous. I'm sure there are MANY good surgeons and I know from this site that there is wonderful work done there, but I'm just a baby and I chickened out.
Then I came across a review from a woman who had done her surgery at a fellowship clinic for a very reasonable price. I started looking into them and visited the one we have in town but I just didn't feel comfortable with the place. I don't mind the idea of having my procedure out of town (assuming there are no follow up complications *knock on wood*) because I have a very chaotic household with dogs and people. A week in a nice hotel for recovery sounds great. Anyway, after looking into it more I inquired at the Dallas Plastic Surgery Institute Fellowship Clinic after reading bio's on their doctors.
Basically a "Fellowship" doctor is one who has graduated med school, done his or her internship, and completed residency. As far as I understand, these people are free to go set up shop and start doing surgeries but they're trying to get more specialized training for an additional year. I'm taking a risk here but their doctors have impressive resumes and every case has a more experienced PS overseeing it who does check in on the surgeries.
So I've put down my deposit and secured my date of Jan 30th! I'll be heading to Dallas which is only about a 90 minute flight from me the day before to do a pre op appt. The WORST thing so far has been not smoking. I was told I had to stop for a month before surgery and even though it's only been a few days it's been TOTALLY awful as I have smoked for a long time. I am basically just chewing straws and eating carrots nonstop. I'll make another post shortly with my pics and pre op stats

So I am 5'6 or 5'7 depending on which doctor you ask and I currently weigh 182 lbs. I had VSG done 2 years ago and lost 70. I wouldn't mind losing a few more before surgery but I know that the weight I'm at now is maintainable for me. I'll be having TT with muscle repair, lipo on sides and a breast lift with no implants.
I really waffled back and forth on the implants too. Most docs I reached out to for virtual consults just automatically included them so I felt like I really needed to do it but after consulting with a couple in my area it seems like I have enough breast tissue to get a good result without them. They won't be super round and full on top but I can live with that. I know that implants have to be replaced eventually and who knows if I'll be able to have surgery when that time comes. I also worry about the added risks of bottoming out or capsular contracture. I'm taking another risk here and I'm sooo worried that I've made the wrong choice! It's so hard to know what to do when you're getting different advice! There's no way I'll be able to do more surgery anytime soon.
I also asked about lipo to my back but the coordinator said that the lipo to the flanks should address it well enough. Anyway, here's the ugly truth of beforehand in pics. For some reason every time I try to add the side angles they rotate sideways so I'l try again another time.

Okay so when I quit smoking I was using a nicotine patch. Idk why it didnt freaking occur to me that what they test for is NICOTINE. I got off the patch Jan 2. They require 4 weeks of no nicotine and I was scheduled for the 30th. I decided to be honest even though I knew I'd pass the test so I called and told her. Well, they cancelled my surgery. I'm pretty disappointed. I figured worst case scenario they'd push it back. I was really only going to be like 3 days shy of a full month and like I said I know that even if they blood test it wouldn't have shown up. Sooooooo, I guess it wasn't meant to be. I've stopped using the patch and went to another Fellowship clinic locally. I really liked the doctor that I met with but she wants me to lose 10 lbs and not smoke then come back Feb 15th. Hopefully we can schedule then as long as the weight loss is coming along. I've lost 3.5 lbs since the consult so here's hoping! I marked the date of surgery as March 30th and I'm really HOPING that I'll get in by then. I'm bummed about having to wait two extra months but maybe it'll be better to have someone in town anyway. I'll keep you updated!!
