Ultimate WOW moment...

Aug 08, 2009

I had the ultimate WOW moment this morning. I got on the scale, as I do EVERY morning, and said "Oh Crap!" I had lost another 2 pounds. I can't believe I was slightly dismayed that I LOST 2 pounds!!

I am not terribly nervous yet about my weight but am not trying to lose any more either. Even though I still weigh 151, I am wearing a size 4 or 6. Those size clothes are just as hard to find as plus size!!!  Kind of ironic!!

I had my first plastic consult last week as I am very self conscious about my wrinkly arms. The Doc gave me the option of having just the arm pit incision with lipo instead of the full long scar. He said they would not be quite as tight at the long scar method, however, I would get the benefit of no visible scar. I still haven't made up my mind yet. I also talked to him about a BL. He did not immediately recommend implants, but when the nurse said "if you are happy with your size and look in a sports bra, you will be happy with a lift." Ummm... that's exactly why I don't wear a sports bra... I hate the way they look!!!  So, the doc said I would be a good candidate for saline under the muscle because I still have a fair amount of tissue. I shouldn't get much rippling at all.

I have 3 more consults before I decide on which Doc and what procedures to have. I originally wanted PS in the spring when I can have a more than a few days off from work, but now I am considering the week of Christmas. At least for my arms. Timing is much better, and I wont have to worry about covering up the wrapped arms when it is starting to get hot out and I would be wearing short sleeves.

We'll see what the next few PS's have to say...
