Thinking, adjusting, and (GASP) plastics
Nov 10, 2009
Ugh. I hate my breasts. Hate. Hate. Hate.
Ok, enough whining.
I'm coming to terms with my body. It kind of feels like going through puberty again. How crappy is that? Oh well. I just keep looking in the mirror, and saying, ok, this is me now. And I should be damned proud. I look great. Other people think I look great. And screw em if they don't!!!!
I thought researching WLS was an intimidating process, but plastics is a whole 'nother ball game. I'm researching options both in the US and out. I will have to do self-pay, so I want to make sure I get the best bang for my buck, so to speak. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Anyone who has suggestions/reccommendations would be welcome to put in their 2 cents.
Anyway, I thought I'd post some more before/after pics. I feel truly amazed every time I see myself.

Just thought I'd toss these up for comparison. The first pic is 12 days after surgery, the second is at my 6 week follow-up appointment 2-20.

Six weeks out
Feb 20, 2009
I had my 6 week follow-up with Dr. Eagon today. His office ALWAYS runs late. So much for getting anything else done today. 10:45am appointment got me out of there at 2:00pm. Sigh. Oh well.
Apparently, I'm doing great. I'm allowed to lift heavy objects again (i.e. go back to bowling) and do vigorous excercise. I'm excited. I'm eating real food and allowed to do "real" activity again. I feel like I'm normal again, and not an invalid.
I feel great. I can't believe I've lost 40lbs already. It makes me feel like I can get to goal successfully.
First pic is pre-op (November somethingth) 276lbs sz 24 top, 22/24 jeans
Second pic is 6 weeks out 236lbs, sz 14/16 top, 18/20 jeans
