Well, I am 2 weeks post op beltlipectomy,  outer thigh lift removal of  my back boobs, revision of my right breast. And the back of me looks like a totally different person. I am so happy with the results my surgeon gave me. He did way more than I had expected..especially with my outer thighs. They were horrible. I did them with my last surgeon before and she left me with a gap and skin and  cellulite all over. He fixed all of it and I am so happy. The problem is, I just found out today that I have a seroma. It's such an ugly problem. My whole right side abdomen and mons and the whole right side of my hips moves like a waterbed. I am so filled with fluid and blood and it hurts like heck. I got aspirated and as soon as I got home, I was filled with fluid again. It all happened because I had trouble with my drain and it came out too soon. I had no idea how important drains are. I hated having them in, but I'll have them any day to this nuisance of a seroma. I can't wait to be able to try on new clothes and see how my new body looks in jeans. I am just so big right now. It feels like it'll be a while before I can do any of that.

Well, I am scheduled for my next round of plastics (Buttlift, removal of redundant skin on my back and he'll lift my right breast to match my left one) on the 17th of May and I am getting really nervous. I am really anxious, and impatient. I have gained about 10 lbs since my last set of plastics 2 years ago. I have been eating so much lately. All I think about is food. I am 180 now and I am not sure if I am doing the right thing by having plastics when I still have about 25lbs I want to lose. I just have to commit myself to exercise after I heal.  

Last week, I read a few bad reviews about my surgeon and I got really freaked out because I had just 6 days to go. But I feel so comfortable with him. I have had 3 consults with him. He made me feel so much at ease and it just felt right. After I spoke with his office about my feelings, I felt better. I also asked to see him right before surgery so I can ask him a few more questions. I know it's normal to be scared, but I get scared to the point where my knees get weak and I can't breathe...I think I may be having anxiety attacks lol. I guess it's because I have been through so much already. I know it can be much worse and I thank God everyday that it's not...but I am a weak person..not sure how much more I can take. I have to have more faith in God that things will be alright.

Shame on me. I have not updated my profile in almost 2 years! :o( http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/members/profile.php?N=M994815871 This is the link to my pre-op website. I was 376lbs and wearing 32/34 and they did not zip in the end. I was tying the ends of my button with a shoe lace  and would wear a long shirt to cover. Now I'm wearing a size 9/10. Life is so much better. I am here for anyone who needs suppore because I know that this is a tough ride and how I got through it was my friends. My support group here at obesityhelp.
