WORTH IT$17,000
In 2002 I had gastric bypass and thought that my battle with weight was over. In 2004 I had a vertical stomach lift and was very happy with the results and had saved money to have my thighs fixed in 2005. I had it scheduled but then found out that my iron levels were too low and had to cancel it was about around this time that I also realized that I could actually gain weight with the gastric bypass I went through several funky years of gaining and some losing weight and then I kind of gave up and went to my comfort place which is being an overeater. A couple years ago I got to the point that walking was not easy and I could not climb stairs so I started eating healthy I started liking myself and that's when I decided I wanted to finish my journey. The iron issue ened up being Aunt Flo after a transfusion with 4 pints of blood and a ablation process I have not had any issues for over 6 years. My thighs on the other had are still here. Once I decided to finish my journey I found out that a lot of doctors still treat thihh lifts like they were doing them 13 years ago but based on the reviews I have read Dr Peter Fisher attacks the thigh by reducing fat and taking a sizeable amount of skin off. I will be so happy not to have the clapping noise my body makes on its own accord when I'm done.

So happy for you! You are going to love Dr. Fisher. Have you read my reviews? Dr. Fisher did two procedures for me, first the debulking of the excess fat tissue, (I had lipedema fat that needed to be removed first) Then I had a very long thigh lift, really more like a full leg lift. Very happy with my results.

Your reviews are what helped me decide to go with Dr. Fisher. I'm going way out of my comfort zone but I know when I'm finished it will be worth it.

Congratulations, my procedure will be the day after your but, I'm doing the tummy tuck with the thigh lift. Looking forward to your updates!!

Good luck. X

Good luck, I can so relate to your story. In my case my thighs were so heavy that I first needed close to 8 liters of excess fat removed before I could go ahead with my thigh lift. For me it was worth the wait time and having to have two surgeries, as I am now very happy with my results.

I will be following your surgery. Please let us know how you do! I need a leg lift from groin to ankle. I would be traveling from another state. I am interested in how long you will need to be in San Antonio and overall how your recovery is! Good luck.

I talked to the office last week. They are moving, in the same building but on a different floor. So the office manager has been really backed up.

Okay I have less than 30 days now, I believe I have all my supplies: raised toilet lift, go girl, compression garments, and medications. I did pre-op testing everything was good and finances are in order. I have not lost any more weight but hopefully in 3 weeks I can be at 153 I would be happy with that.

High protein diet, no carbs and you'll do it and you'll heal amazingly well. Good luck. I'm having this op next year, having gastric sleeve end of October, so will be thinking of you. X

I bought protein powder to take with me and I've been taking iron to increase my levels.

I am seriously considering your Dr Fisher as he seems to be the leg guy. I need a groin to ankle lift. Please let me know how you do! Are you doing lipo ahead of time from the skin removal or all at once?
September 11, 2016
Hi, can you tell me how much an arm lift is with Dr. Fisher?
September 12, 2016
I'm really not sure the $17, 000.00 includes everything his office is great with getting back with you quickly so I'm sure it woudnt take them long to get you a quote.

Hey!! Awesome news and congratulations on your up coming surgery.. I had the gastric 2003 and just had the armlift and tummy tuck lipo this past July! I'm already 7 weeks post op!! Can't wait for your results.. Keep up posted!!
September 17, 2016
I'm going to follow your journey also plus I will probably be asking questions with regards to the arm lift.
September 13, 2016
Good luck with the body lifts. I had a gastric sleeve about 5 years ago. Have since put on weight and trying to shed some ahead of arm lift, breast reduction and facelift next March. I'm sure you will look just fabulous.
I am excited for you! Are you doing anything special before the procedure to prepare for it?
