Hi, Marianne. Oh, I am so very happy to read that you all are doing so well!
1. Start weight 283
2. Current weight: 158
3. Total loss - 125
4. Starting size 28-30
5. Current size 12-14
6. No, but I'm thinking of getting a consult. I miss having breasts. lol
7. Maybe. My insurance doesn't exclude it so there's a possibility.
8. Still losing? No. I know what to do if I want to start losing again--go to the gym and cut out the Pepsi or trim back on the 3000 calories I'm taking in everyday. And maybe later I'll get in the mood to do that, but right now I'm happy where I am.

I'm not sure...I plan on having a bidirectional tummy tuck, breast lift/augmentation, medial thigh lift and lipo under the armpits after the baby. Good luck and I hope that your pain is minimal!

Topic: How bad...really?
Hi all,
I asked this on the PS board but would like your take as well.
I am scheduled for a Bilateral Medial Thigh lift and Arm lift on Jan. 3rd. 
I am convinced on the arms as I hate them the most but I waver on the legs. They look horrible and need to be done but I am so nervous about the pain that comes with them. How bad is the pain really? Does Vicodin really control it? Will I be able to sit on the toilet and take care of my personal needs myself or will I need help? This is my first real surgery as my GBP and Gallbladder removal were LAP.
