Plastics - how much can be done at one time?
How much can be safely done at one time.
I haven't even had surgery yet, but I am hoping to have it done soon - as soon as my 6 months are up! I have great insurance - so I am hoping the process moves quickly.
Anyway, I know that I will one day want to have plastics. I can remember losing 80+ lbs after my daughter, and my poor wrinkly thighs and belly! that was going from 250 down to 165 (I'm pretty stout - and I USED to be 5'5". I wore a size 10 at 170!)
Anyway - I am 300lbs exactly how, and will probably be pretty darn close to that at surgery - unfortunetly, the only thing that tends to work for me is Atkins. Right now, during my supervised visits, I am on 1500-1600Kcal a day of a well balanced, low fat diet per my PCP's recommendations. With diet and exercise and changing my behaviors - I've just stopped gaining any weight. Oh well.
ANYWAY - I am thinking that when the weight is lost, I will need to have plastics.
How much can be done at one time? I think I will need a circumferencial abdominal lift/tuck, and most likely my thighs / booty as well. I'm worried that at the weight I am at now - the arms will have to be delt with. They already bother me!!
Anyway - what has everyone done at one time? I hate going through anesthesia and taking major time off work. If I have to have that stuff - wouldn't it be great to break it into a as few breaks as possible?
It feels good to dream! On one hand it feels good to think about the future - but on the other hand, I feel like I will be needing a major overhaul! ahhh!!! Maybe I'll be worse looking AFTER surgery!!! In the end this is all about being healthy - but its fun to look at your before and after pics on this forum and all the CUTE CLOTHES!!
