I am successful WLS patient who is not active in reading or replying to any OH boards. Due to my limited online time I am slow to reply to my messages. I care very deeply about helping others fight obesity. When asked I can be very outspoken about my WLS and plastic surgeries.  I will not compete, brag or compare my weight loss, size or plastic surgeries with anyone. I am flawed just like everyone else and I feel that if I get too proud it will be taken away.

2nd butt lift
on March 17, 2008 2:10 pm
Dr Shah and I agreed that a second butt lift was needed instead of liposuction. I wanted my butt to begin where the small of back stopped. Instead I had a wide flat area above my butt that had a fat pocket under the tattoo. It wasn't right I was confused on what I needed to get the look I wanted.

Dr Shah had more butt than he could handle on my first surgery. I even had to have lipo to saddle bags before the lift could be done. Oh did I mention that was after loosing over 100 pounds 6 years ago. Damn I am glad to see all that big butt go.

Will try to update photos later..

Hysterectomy
on January 4, 2008 6:11 am
Sadly I had get a partial Hysterectomy (only my uterus was removed)due to a unrepairable prolapsed Uterus. I also had to have a birch bladder repair and Anterior/Posterior repair to my vagina. I know that all this damage was caused by my former Obesity. My one and only pregnancy/child birth was a breeze and my son weight in at a low 6lbs. Now looking back before Aidens birth I had many symptoms and didn't know it because I had no pain.

I have experience so many emotions from having to have Hysterectomy. I have taken turns been sad mad pissed hurt ANGRY at myself for yet more damage I have done to myself with fat. I wanted one more chance to bring another baby into this world. I went 33yrs before getting pregnant with Aiden and I love been a mom more than any thin can feel. I love been a mom more than any drink can drown my sorrows in, I love been a mom more than an plastic surgery can ever make me look, I love my son more than any lotto winning could ever feel. AND more than ever I wanted to give Aiden a brother or sister. I have long deep dark feelings of replacing the relationship me and my only sibling Jamie (my brother)  had cut short by his suicide. All too sad to really even think to hard and long on.
 
God saved his best baby for me he has blessed me with the cutest  meanest orneriest  little boy ever. Bart Simpson would be jealous of the mischievous things my little on can think up :) And I love every minute of it.

BL/BA and butt lift March 2007
on April 8, 2007 9:05 pm

I am fortunate to have just successfully completed my 3rd round of plastic and in doing so removing ¾ of my old skin. My thighs are going to be 4th and last procedure. I need spider vein removal and a thigh lift. I plan to start round 4 this fall with my spider vein removal. Hopefully insurance will pay for this procedure. They are quite painful sometimes.

 
Lately I have been overwhelmed with mixed emotions. Some days I feel like I have recovered from obesity and that I am on the other side of this overwhelming disease. On my insecure worrisome days I feel alot different. On those bad days  I feel like that I am so close to succeeding and that with a blink of an eye I am going fail and be back near 300 pounds. A few years before my WLS I felt desperate to be a normal size. I had absolutely no control over my weight before surgery. WLS was my last shot at becoming “normal”. The mental anguish is enough to drive me mad over food.  I had surgery almost 5 years ago and it toke me a year to get to my current size and I have maintained this size since. With the exception of my pregnancy w/ my son Aiden J best 40 pounds I have ever gained!!!

 

 

 

My last round of plastic surgery has made a world of difference in my appearance. I had mini breast lift; breast augmentation and a butt lift. Until this surgery I was pear shape and miserable with my huge saggy ass and saddle bags. I am wowed by newly shaped body. My Dr is truly an artist. I never thought I would have a normal shaped behind. My entire life I have had a huge butt that I couldn’t stand. And now thanks to Dr Shah I will never have to hear another rear end comments ever again. I can now go on with my life and not be paranoid that others are commenting on my back side’s shape or size.

I am normal. WLS & PS has made me normal and I fear losing all that I have obtained

My big day is not far away. I am getting my mini BL and BA and buttlift. Dr Bivik Shah and his team at Columbus Institute of PS work miracles. I dont believe that any Dr anywhere in the entire world could out do what he has done for my post op obese body.  God has blessed me in so many ways. I am grateful to be one of Dr Shah patients, God has also blessed Dr Shah with a kind soul and a gift to improve others lives and to give us a second chance at having a youthful body but  with a mature mind. God Bless Dr Shah and his entire team. I can not say enough good things about all of them.
