Gained 20 pounds-April 22 having TT, Breast Lift, Implants, Lipo, Fat injected in my buttocks
Wow. So sorry to hear about all of your troubles.
Just out of curosity, when is the last time you had your vite levels checked, specifically your B vites? Topamax is known to severely decrease B12 and folate levels, which is part of its side effects (the dumb, forgetfulness, tingling in fingers/toes, etc).
HW: 280; SW: 255; GW1: 150; CW: 155.
I just had them checked I am good. I had a check up and also saw my holistic doctor. yes i had the tingling... and memory loss, and the appetite gone but made sure i ate and took vitamins. yes i was very stupid to where i thought i was mentally going crazy. topamax is the worst drug to be on. I think that is why my boyfriend left me.

I had a lower body lift and breast implants and lift in 2011. If it were up to me, I'd wait until I'd lost the regain and stabilized. It's a lot to go through not to get the results you want and for optimal healing you shouldn't be losing weight before or soon after. My surgeon was really clear on that. I understand how you feel as I had planned on a thigh lift and had to reschedule when I had some regain of my own. But I know it'll be worth it in the long run.
thank you for your feedback. looking at my body right now and how it is. I think I will get very good results.
thinking about my concerns and working through them now that i am getting close. today i am feeling good about it all. thank you for your feedback... i will lose what i can until surgery. I might have to put it off for a couple of weeks due to this cold i am about to break out in. i had a fever yesterday and still have the flu today with body aches

#1. 20# is not that big of a deal! when I had my first round of plastics I was 20 pounds above goal, I lost weight going thru plastics. So don't worry at all!
#2. Don't even worry about scars, breast lift scars are hardly noticeable when they are about 6mo or so out, same with tummy tuck scar. I barely notice either of my scars for those two procedures. I also had brachioplasty, now those are some scars! We'll worth trading scars for skin. I have never for one day regretted any of my surgeries.
#3 The drains for tummy aren't that bad, I took one of mine out, ask if you can do that, it was weird but totally easy and didn't hurt at all. Just has to be not draining much anymore, and doctor has to ok it.
Let me know if I can be of any help or support, you will do just fine!

Oh Anne,
i needed to hear this. Thank you very much. perfect time and perfect reading because today I am comfortable with my decision moving forward. I had some concerns but I guess that is what I am working through. The only way I wil out it off for a couple of weeks is because if a cold breaks out. I will know in a couple of days.
If you dont mind I will be in touch. going to add you as a friend. brachioplasty is something i am considering too but not now . I have the worst bye bye arms. I am telling you... i have alot of skin.... my mom didnt go through a big weight loss and she has saggy skin. I think its hereditary. Since all this is new weight and i am not that much bigger.... weird I know.. returning to my normal eating ... clean eating I feel I will be fine. and like you said surgery alone losing.
I was watching some videos some girls get stretch marks after a TT. did you get any???

I am so sorry about all you've been through. I hope you are feeling good now. How is your body feeling? Will you be okay recovering from plastics with all the other issues you've had? If you are feeling healthy now, maybe it would be good for you. I am glad you have a good friend at your side. That will help you a lot with recovering! The weight gain--I bet money it will all be gone soon. Whether it's from diet changes before surgery or from the plastic surgery. I know a woman who had a tummy tuck, had a baby and gained 50 lbs, and her stomach is still flat as a board a few months post partum and 20 lbs. above pre-pregnancy weight. I think you will look great even if you lose 20 lbs after your TT and lipo. I had lipo and I loved the results. It whittled my waist down and I dropped at least 10 lbs from the recovery. Of course the first couple of weeks you feel and look swollen and the scale may go up temporarily but by a month post op the scale was down and I was down 2 jeans sizes. I'm sure the tummy tuck will help even more with your waist line. As far as the boyfriend goes hmm well, now you know he isn't someone you want a long future with. Better you find out now than waste any more time. I'm sorry he wasn't the one, but there is someone else out there. Good luck with everything.
Thank you so much. I am hearing more and more about this with 20 pounds and i already lost 1 ... :)
I feel your right and just needed to hear it from others. it seems more and more have the same feedback here and friends at home. Thank you so much.... I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. it feels good to be here in OH. I used this site for a year and a couple of months in the beginning and tapered off. I feel like I am going through my sleeve again but now it is a TT/plastics. I am 3 years and a couple of months out.. I am feeling good about this.; I hope i recover from this flu because i want to see my girlfriend in san diego by TJ who just had her surgery done she is in love with herself now.... i am very excited for her.. she is also 20 pounds heavier and it was not new weight./ she says its melting off of her;.
