Before and 3.5 weeks after plastics - photos! - I apparently heal faster and bounce back quicker than any other patient my doc has seen.  I credit my stubbornness and my genetics.  I seriously could have given birth in a field t...

Three weeks post LBL and BA/BL, 19 months post sle - So, I'm 19 months post op.  I have no idea how much I weigh because I'm still swollen from plastics, and I don't need the head trip associated with the gain I know will be present ...

One week post plastics - Sooooo, last Thursday I was in surgery for 8 hours getting a lower body lift, breast lift and breast augmentation.  Holy cow, that's a lot of hours :)  I was actually a lot calmer ...

Plastic surgery update - Sooo, I decided to go with a LBL plus BA/BL instead of just the tummy tuck.  While my hips look awesome and are completely flat with no extra skin, but my tushy sucks (IMO).  My su...

Almost 18 months update and pics - So, I'll be 18 months out in less than two weeks.  I'm maintaining pretty well since I hit goal a little more than 9 months ago.  I put on some weight through the holidays and all ...

Overly dramatic sigh - what is wrong with me? - This is going to be long and rambling and could potentially make no sense, but I need to write this stuff out because I feel like I'm slowly going insane.  I don't know what's wron...

Nervous, going for plastics consult today - So, I'm going for a plastics consult today and I'm sooooo nervous.  I do not like getting naked in front of strangers or having my skin tugged on to show much laxity there actually...
