Plastic Surgery - My Decision after wls

[lola19ish]

Have a very safe trip and i will look forward to seeing your results and hearing about your experience and see if I will be following in your steps.. GOD Bless..

[shrinkingJanuary]

Can you email me your doctor? I'd like to look into getting some work done.

[anatnewsome]

Hey Skymoon1982, I am in the process of having WLS. I know that I will need plastic surgery in the future after I have lost all the weight. I am curious to know if you had it done yet and did you end up going to Colombia to get it done. I am Colombian, and I would also like to go and get it done. What city did you get it done in and who was the doctor? Anyway, make sure you post your after surgery pictures.........looking forward to them!!!

[MizzKasandra]

Good luck!

Hey,

I have a request. I also have a lap band and my weightloss is going well.

I think I'm also going to need a tummy tuck, I'm interested in how your stomach looks now after you lost all that weight..

So I wondred if you could show me how your stomach looks now, I would really appreciate it(if you feel comfortable about that). Thanks a lot.

[Iyonnasmommy]

I think its a good decision!! I plan on doing it too once I lose all of my weight!! BTW, Do you ever drink alcohol and if so do you have any issues??

[sannyarmani86]

I've been drinking alcohol last weekend, i had a appeljuice wodka. and i din not had problems. But i had just 2 or 3 drinks

[katiejuly]

Go for it, if that's what you want! You look great, girlie.

Hey Mel, I would worry less about wat hatas think, b/c wen it's all said and dne their jealous and mad. 1. Their already mad c/ u lost all ur weight and lookin good 2. They probably won't ps and can't afford it. In the world we live u will Neva be good enough. It's either ur too big and need to lose weight or either ur too small and need to gain weight.. My point is pple r always talkin shit!! Go to Colombia Mel care free and hola at the hatas wen u get bac and recover!!!

[ericaj021]

Hey Mel

[zanditorres]

Good for you!!! Like Sky8725, you too are my Lapband HERO!! lol What counts most is your health. And you're so much healthier now. You did all the work which includes working with your band and not against it. That in itself is hard to do sometimes. Which is what a lot of non bandsters don't understand. But if you and your hubby are okay with it and with your choice to get plastic surgery than GO FOR IT mija! Bendiciones!!

[sky8725]

You are my personal Lapband hero! You look fabulous! Your determination and dedication to the weight loss process has been amazing! I believe super weight loss and PS go hand in hand. After the weight loss, you "almost" think, what did I lose all this weight for? Yes, I'm healthier and thankful, but I'm still not comfortable with how my body looks". Make this decision between you , God and your husband and don't be concerned with what others think. Good luck and God bless!!

[MegaFierceness]

Ok now I understand why you want to get it done out of the US that is a very good price and you know someone who has had it done which is even better, good luck with everything Mel I can't wait to see how you look when everything is done!

[ShrinkingNurse]

Wls and PS go hand in hand .. Best wishes.. I am getting anchor TT on Nov 18th ...as for the twins there gonna have to wait awhile..

[supaflyflip]

I have to agree. You can only make your decisions for having plastic surgery, no mattter what others have to say or think. I know that if I lost a lot of weight, plastic sugery would def. be an option for me. I hope and pray your surgery's a success! You've worked really hard towards your wls and plastic surgery is your gift to yourself =o) Kudos, Melanie!

[nelliemae1925]

wishing you safe journey.go fot it.

[Kellawanda]

Your hair looks cute. I support your decision and wish you the best of luck...though Ill probably wait to the one year mark to see if I need it. They say it takes skin 2 years to shrink back up! I never had big boobs tho so those wont be an issue. Probably arms, thighs, and belly.

[Debsign]

I was banded in Mexico because of cost and I have been very happy with my care. Congratulations on your decision! I have been watching you videos for months. Before my surgery 7-29-09 it gave me hope. After it helps me stay motivated. Thanks for being so open and honest.

[skymoon1982]

Thank u so much for following my journey this long. Hope your journey is going great too.

[gamecockfroggy]

I have been wondering about this myself. Timing is an issue for me with everything that I have going on right now. I think I will talk to Todd about it when he gets back in town.

[Taina009]

Skymoon Am happy you made the choice to go do ur ps And happy ur friens is from columbia am sure u will be happy and the price is very good. I will pray all goes well for u mama. Dont worry to much about people talk. They still will talk they may say you lose ur weight cause the lapband the ps who cares mama u did it and thats what matters. People that talk are haters u should know that. Since am still looking would u share ur columbia drs with me. Talk to u soon.

[msbebe83]

Time for a new body shot!

[msbebe83]

First of all, you look really thin! I just cant imagine how nice it must be to lookk in the mirror and be like ( Damn!. Im already saving up for my boob job. I know those things are going to be swinging low. Your tummy tuck will be so great, and you will look so fierce that you wont care what anybody says. I might consider doing mine in columbia! That is really cheap.

[Sandy77]

congrats this is going to be another exciting Journey for you.Take care. P.S did you ever find out why you were feeling light headed?

[LAPPAGURL09]

Don't worry about what people think! Do you girl!!!! I would do it in a heart beat!!!!!!!!

[CoCoBandster]

You cannot care what people think Mel, the older you get the better you will understand. If you put your faith in people, they will let you down everytime. Beileive who you are and make that MORE than enough. I am attaching a video to better explain my feeling on this! Enjoy.

[skymoon1982]

Girl I watached that video and it was freaken hilarious. Thank you. I had a good laugh and its very true.

[MissJanieHere]

i have always been ok with people getting plastic surgery, i just never thought that i would be interested in it myself. I just didnt want anymore surgeries...not due to fear, but didnt want to be cut into anymore.

I am considering going to a dr in mexico for my ps... if i break down and do it.. we are poor so we can't afford US docs unfortunately.

Glad you are taking your sis and that you have a plan. Good luck!

[skymoon1982]

Hi Janie, I would think of having plastic surgery one day but never in a million years did I think I would go through w/ it but here I am today, making my 1st down payment. I think its totally ok for u to get plastic surgery. You look so pretty already. Where in Mexico are u planning to do it and when?

[moviestartaal]

wish you the best of luck...keep us posted

[puuurdypatty]

I wish you luck! and I feel the gum drops for boobies! I am so ugh about my boobies these days!

[mityah83]

Yay ..Im soooo happy for you..HOT STUFF !!!!

[19la54]

I am STILL an I (eye) cup after losing 120 lbs. I can wait to stablize (sp?) and get a breast reduction.

You are so young....you should do as much as you can, as you want.

You know the people who will be negative so try not to talk about it with those certain people....take care!!!

[firemama1269]

All I ask is that just like you documented the lap band surgery, to also document your plastic procedure as well. That would be great! This is the realities of weight loss, and it is what people are going to have to accept.

[skymoon1982]

I will definately document myself when I go get plastic surgery. Just another video in the life of Mel. LOL

[didibailey]

people will always talk. but you do what you feel. good luck! dear

[onyX716]

You do you and let the haters do what they do...best of luck to you and I pray that all goes well. Can't wait to see the results!

[killarmani]

Mel, one question, the people you are worried about are they paying for your surgery, RIGHT, so who cares what they think, just be safe, and get back home, to make a video, we will be waiting, take care, Sherlita

[skymoon1982]

Your so sweet Sherlita. U are so right. I will definately be documenting myself while im out there.

[BoricuaRNNY]

Losing 120 pounds, is hard work. Losing 120 in 8 months is incredible. No tummy tuck in the world could do that, so don't worry about what the HATERS are going to say. You know how hard you busted your butt to get to this day! Girl go handle "your" business in Columbia! Pa'lante!

[bandedwendy]

good for you. sounds like you have it all mapped out and the support of your sister and neighbor for the trip. you will be fine. honestly, who gives a flying f*CK about what other people think. WE ALL KNOW THAT YOU DID IT! I am excited for you. You look amazing this evening too. Big Hugs! xoxo

[yvette800]

I am with you all of the way as long as you will be safe I support you and enjoy your new body you deserve all of your happiness and hard work.:O)

[jcurry777]

YOU GO GIRL. mine are already sagging and i havent even had the surgery yet so im def getting my breasts worked on too! you went this far go for it all!! btw you look FABULOUS!!

[LapGyrl]

Do your thing Mel. Don't worry about what others say. You seem confident in your choice of the hospital and the surgeon so go for it!!!!

[dlmyvette]

Girl please....don't worry about what ppl say. PUHLEESE....You really did work hard and you have to do what's best for you! I'm so excited for you. By the way....I told you I was trying what you did as far as eating and I lost 5 pounds.

[TheLapbandqueen]

girl do u, if i loose the weight u lost and have a problem with my already sagging boobs.......i am going back for another surgery.........i think surgery is a blessing from God.

[SkylineTime]

You are AWESOME!!!  Thanks for all the videos!

[CoCoBtv]

$7400 is very good. I say do what makes you happy. This is the time for you to put yourself first and do whats best for you. Dont worry about what others might feel. We know that you work hard to get your weight off. This is just the icing on the cake.

[gastricRose]

Good for you ...glad your happy with doing it ... you look amazing girl....I will pray that you have a great trip and recover fast ...love ya...love rosemary

[tpearce3102]

Because of my size and weight I will get plastic surgery to remove all the excess skin and help me get what I set out to achieve. Thanks for all the words and videos!
