What do you think about old "fat" pictur - I'm sure everyone has a different opinion on this so here is mine.  I am curious what everyone else thinks.   I always liked who I was but was always sad that my weight kept me b...

Anyone find Plastics make you nit-picky? - I am almost 4 years post-WLS and 5 months post-TT (BA but had to explant due to infection).  I'm totally, totally happy with my WLS.  But sometimes I wonder if plastics were worth ...

First success after TT - Well I've had a lot of ups and downs since PS--coming to grips with the fact that the TT didn't make me miraculously skinny or a size 00 (not that I want to be that size, ha!).  Fo...

WLS for appearance - This was our discussion last night at support group and this has been on my mind a lot recently. Let me be perfectly candid:  I had WLS to look better.  Period.  I was young and i...

Yesterday I wished I were still fat - Shocking title, right? I had a multitude of fears and questions before surgery.  While some of these questions centered on food, and how normal of a life I would be able to lead w...

Be Careful What you wish for--BA explant in future - Just thought I'd update y'all   I had TT w/ MR and BA on December 17th. Had a lot of pain with only the BA (no TT pain ever) the first week but was so out on pain meds I didn't n...

Want to reverse my BA--explant - I'm very unhappy.  I cry every time I get naked to shower.  It's just not me.  I hate the figure in the mirror looking back at me. You see, though I was 277lbs., I never had...

2014 is the year - Hey guys A new post ohmygosh what's happening?!  Well, in the nearly 2 years since my last post, I've been leading a fairly mundane life as a thin person and I have loved it...

How long before swelling resolved? TT - 10 dpo TT and BA and I weigh a full 10lbs. higher than presurgery, and there is no hope of any clothes but sweats fitting!  How long was it until you were able to fit back into ...

Out of TT & BA and Pissed - I warn you know, this is an unhappy post.   I have really wanted a TT.  Ever since I was 9 or so, I started getting stretchmarks over my tummy.  With weight gain and ext...

Anxiety setting in--Dec. 17 BA/TT - You'd think I'd be over the moon about my surgeries, right?  No.  Good news is I've been through this before with WLS and I think this manufactured resistance is how I deal with...

Lose more weight before TT? - So here's the deal:  I've been at this weight (okay, I've gained ahem about 7lbs. in the past year or so--I think it's just "settling") for almost 2 1/2 years, and I had surgery...

Jumped in and scheduled surgery for December 17 an - I scheduled my surgery so I could lock in the price before the surgery center upped them. I'll be having a BA/TT silicone probably over the muscle because of my weirdly barr...

Remove galbladder before TT? Time in-between? - Not unlike many wls patients, I've had galbladder trouble post-wls.  The worst of it was a little over two years ago when I was 1 year out.  I had HORRIBLE pains and had an abdo...

How much at once? - I was, and remain, dedicated to my tummy tuck.  I am completely flat chested (always have been, in fact) and so I started contemplating doing a BA at the same time.  This has ne...

Tummy tuck questions: before kids, recovery time - I have now been to 3 consults and am starting to get a better feel of what I'll want done.  It's interesting, though, how they all have conflicting opinions.   I have not ha...

These "rate your MD" can make you crazy! - I just booked my first consult for Friday.  How do you ever decide, though.  Word of mouth and these rating sites make it seem like the only choice is the most well-known, and e...

Why are scars so high?! - In trying to find a surgeon one thing I've noticed is some of the scars are so dad gum high.  Is this something that just some surgeons do, is it dependent on body type/anatomy,...

student loans to pay for plastics? - I don't know if this is possible even or if it is just the craziest suggestion ever. If it is possible/ethical/whatever, I'm torn on if it's wise.  My impulse is no--I hate ...

Emotions of giving away clothes - Now that it's been almost 3 years since my surgery, I've given away most of the clothes from my past life.  I did most of this in the few months after the surgery.  At that time...

Make up prom - So this weekend was law prom (formally known as the barrister's ball).  I found myself getting strangely excited about the proposition.   My first and only formal dance in h...

Is spring break enough time to recover from Abdomi - I need to just get a consult, but I'm getting married in July and thinking about having my TT and possibly a BA too before that time.  One of my break times is spring break (10 ...

Ever fear of Attention, plus determining size on B - I have been churning the idea of a BA and/or tummy tuck around in my head since before I even had the surgery.  And though I have other questions/concerns, I keep coming back to...

Trying on wedding dresses is FUN -   I don't know what it would've been like trying on wedding dresses before, but no complaints after.  Now that I need to get in shape and have the incentive to lose those la...

And the Fairytale Continues...I'm engaged! - He wanted to have a Halloween party. I said "eh, we have others to go to and we are too busy" but he pressed on. Then he said "let's be Cinderella and Prince Charming" but becau...
