Kim2BSlim Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I went to the Dr. who did my thyroid scar revision and he said as long as I was within 10 lbs of goal he would do my surgery! I am soooo excited! Woot! Honestly ya'll I don't want to lose my curves and it is starting to happen. Everyone is begging me not to lose anymore weight. The only place I am still fat is in my stomach and after the tummy tuck that will be cured! I am only gonna have a breast lift first and then in 6 months I can get implants if I want them. I told him what the other plastic surgeon said about the protein and I found out all Dr.'s are so different! He said that is mainly in gastric bypass patients who have to have blood drawn once a month because of malabsorption. He said I look healthy (no dark circles under my eyes..no hair loss) and that I would be fine. I am gonna be keeping this a secret for now. I was VERY open about my Lap Band, but this is much more personal to me. I just started a new weekend job and am even gonna tell a little white lie about what kind of surgery I am having. I will need to be off work for two weeks at least. Here's a pic of me from last weekend. Do ya'll think I need to lose more than 10 more lbs? Honestly?

mona-camille Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Good for you!!!! I know how much you were looking forward to this. So, are you getting a tummy tuck and breast life now and the implants in 6 months, or just the lift now? Errr January I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim2BSlim Posted December 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 I will get the tummy tuck and breast lift at the same time in January. I originally thought I could work the fat off my stomach, but I learned differently when he told me no amount of exercise can get rid of fat deposits from having kids, gaining weight and then losing weight. It is not connected to your muscles anymore..just hanging out down there. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJude Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 That is great Kim! Glad to see this is so happening for you! You are going to look like a knock out...can't wait to see the results! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrty835 Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 WOW Kim Im so happy for you. You are going to be one hot rocking mamma. Keep us posted as I want to be next on the tummy tuck list. Keep me posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicolek Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey Kim You look amazing. I am in the same boat not knowing if I really want to become a bean pole. To be nosey how much did you get quoted? PM me if you want. I have to do some major saving before I can contemplate surgery.LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhawkchick75 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I agree with ya Kim. After having the tummy tuck are you going to have 10 to lose? Everyone is different with their expectations, but i'm the same way I would never want to be too skinny. Luckily with my hips and chest that won't be an issue! But I think after your tummy tuck you will be very happy. Glad you were able to get a good consult!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhondasue Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Wow! Kim you look great in your new photo....you have such thin legs! I wish I had that problem....a tum tuck and you will be just perfect....it doesn't look like you need to loose more. How happy that must make you.....just maintenance. Congrats on the final leg of the journey. Rhonda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CindyLou Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 I say wait and see how you feel after the surgery and then decide if you need to lose more! I think you look great and once you have the surgery you will be just perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnm75 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Kim, That is so great! By the time you have your tuck and lift... where in the world are you going to lose 10 pounds from? You look amazing! Kristy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nothereanymore Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Kim, I’m so happy for you, you can’t even imagine the difference its going to make – to look at yourself and like what you see is an awesome feeling. And your surgeon thinks a lot like mine. I’m thrilled that I made the decision and went for it; I just went in today for my implants check up, (I had mine added after my lift as well) and they look great. I actually talked to him about my face – since my neck was so big I have extra skin and he’s going to take care of that as well. It’s a great feeling to finally love the body you have. I know it sounds shallow to some but to do all this work and then to have the “battle scars” can be hard to take at times. Best of luck, you’re going to do great and I know you’ll love the finished product! Lisa (and don’t worry about the weight, you look awesome and I lost 6 pounds with my tummy tuck between the skin and fat removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsParris Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Kim, you look great! At first I didn't think I would want to have a tummy tuck done, but the more I think about it, I am starting to consider it. Please pm me with info, like the Dr. you are using and the $$$. It will be at least a year before I can have one done, but I would like to know how much they cost. Thanks, Kimberly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had tummy tuck, breast lift/reduction and liposuction all done about 10 years ago - and I love the results. Granted, I was in so much pain immediately following the surgery I wanted to die (be prepared) - but as soon as the pain started to fade and the incisions started to heal, I was in heaven! I had the boobs of a Barbie doll, it was great! LOL! Good luck, and I hope you're as happy with yours as I was with mine. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

my_friend_amber Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Kim, good for you friend! We live in a wonderful age when medical treatment has come so far and has gotten so (fairly) affordable that you don't have to be insanely insanely rich to do it. I too think that once you have done what you want you will feel like you are at a perfect size/weight. So excited for you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
