It's been a long journey, but I have come to the end(almost).
I am 5 weeks post surgery for a lower body lift and breast lift after losing 179 pounds after gastric bypass. I'm still at home recuperating, hopefully back to work soon. I was a size 28 pant/4x shirt, I'm now a size 4 pant and a small shirt. I may even get into a size 2(need to wait for swelling to go down more)
I still need to have a brachioplasty and thigh plasty done. I will probably wait until next year for that. Need to wait to accumulate vacation time for work.
I feel FABULOUS. I look great and feel great, plus I'M HEALTHY!!!
This was the BEST thing I could have ever done for myself. I would SO recommend this to ANYONE thinking about it. JUST DO IT. I would have done it years ago, but my insurance didn't cover it at the time.
I did have to pay out of pocket for the plastics though, 20,000.00 bucks!!!
Lot of money, but my husband said I'm worth it!!!
He thinks he has a trophy wife now!!!(hahaha)
I had my issues with dumping(still do sometimes)and the smell of food made sick for at least 6 months, but other than that, no issues or complications with GB.
I've had a few issues with the plastic surgery(infection and anemia)but I'm healing and getting better day by day. It just takes time to heal. This was a HUGE surgery.
