Now I am ready for Plastic Surgery

Apr 01, 2014

It has been 2 1/2 years since surgery, I have lost 130 pounds & I am maintaining the status quo. I have had a consult with a plastic surgeon in Huntersville, NC who has done wonderful work on patients following bariatric surgery. Surgery is next Monday, April 11, 2014. I am more nervous about this than I was for the VSG in 10/11. The surgeon recommends a 2 step process, the first being lower body lift , abdominoplasty, and the second would involve inner thighs & liposuction. He feels that I will be down another 30-35 pounds. This is astounding to me.

As with all surgery, I worry about anesthesia, the hospitalization & recovery time. This has been quite a journey, but I am so happy that I did it. I am much more active- I can walk without too much difficulty, except for arthritis. I can play with my grand kids a lot more. My granddaughter remembers the problems I had before surgery & she now asks her father if Grandma is OK to to whatever it is we are doing.
