price depends on:
- where you live? australia? usa?
- if you have a private health insurance and what level of cover
- if the country you live has a public health care system that covers some of these surgeries
- the surgeon you choose
- the implants you choose
- which hospital you go - different hospitals charge different OR fees

if you’re really interested in knowing a accurate price you should speak to a surgeon.

mine was $7800 outright for tummy tuck, $4000 outright for the arm lift. i then got about $1000 back from private health care for various surgical fees.

im unsure of the figure on my breasts because i got some back from public healthcare (for the reduction on the left side, like $800), then some back from private health care (for the lift around $500) but i paid fully for the implants (and i chose silicone which are more expensive)

my hospital stay (which is $1400 a night, and stayed 8/9 nights) was straight up entirely covered by private health insurance, so never really had to think about that cost.

I've been eating healthy and going to the gym but yesterday I ate junk because I got high now I feel like shit :(

its one day! don’t stress or feel bad about it, it happens. :) just return to your healthy eating and exercise.

you think of it this way:

if someone eats junk for 6 days, and then eats healthy for one day, will they lose weight? no!

so if you eat healthy for 6 days, and eat junk on ONE measly day, will you GAIN weight? of course not!

beforeandafterfatlosspics: ever-striving 1.68m tall / 5’6” In...

beforeandafterfatlosspics:

ever-striving

1.68m tall / 5’6”

In the top 3 pictures, 282lb (128kg), body fat % around 52%

In the bottom 2 pictures, 216lb (98kg), body fat % around 33%

So 66lb / 30kg lost.

I was overweight for about 4 years. I was scared I was going to be unhealthy forever. I had pre-diabetes and high cholesterol. (Both now fixed).

I lost weight through educating myself about nutrition, lifting heavy weights, and eating like humans are designed to! (meat, eggs, fish, veges, fruits, nuts, yum!)

I am on this journey for life and will no doubt continue losing fat and gaining strength. I don’t really weigh myself any more so no longer have a weight goal.

I am happy & healthy & am finding peace with my body every day.

Hi! I love your blog, you are the BIGGEST inspiration to me! We are the same age and both from sydney so it is super nice to see someone like me reaching their goals! I have tried to lose weight before but after looking at your blog and seeing what you achieved in just a year it really clicked with me that I can do it too! Thanks so much for being awesome!

Fri, 10 May 2013 03:17:34 -0400

yay go sydneeeey! wooo! it’s so effing cold atm though!

honestly you can do it! there is nothing special about me. im not superhuman. i don’t have some genetic that makes it easier to lose weight than anyone else. i like junk food just as much as you do. i don’t kid myself, i know cake tastes fabulous! but you know what feels great? wearing something you never thought you could wear. or running further than you ever thought you could. :)

so seriously if i can do, there is NO reason why you can’t

I hope that grammar nazi anon realises that 'could've, should've and would've' are abbreviations of could HAVE etc.. NOT could of. I think they should maybe go back to school themselves.

Fri, 10 May 2013 03:14:49 -0400

oh babe. this cracked me up. you’re right, could’ve etc are abbreviations of have.

BUT you fell into the same trap i did!
“could of”… it doesn’t exist! I KNOW WTF
(i found this out about 4 years ago and it still surprises me)
instead it’s “could have” :)

it’s like when people say, “i catched the bus home”, and it’s “i caught the bus home” catched doesn’t exist too.

long story short, i say “could of” by accident out of habit. at least when i write it in essays, a green squiggly line comes up in word, and i right click and change it to could have.

Hi its the anesthetic/anesthestist anon... just another fyi for your other anon and yourself too... Cortisone is the steroid injection to reduce redness of scars I'm and pretty sure! And silicon is the best treatment for scars so keep up your silicon wearing, I know its annoying! I'm allergic to silicon so cant use the silicon for scars sadly! :(

Fri, 10 May 2013 03:07:43 -0400

you anon, are very knowledgeable! indeed it is cortisone! i wear a silicone gel rather than the sheets. what are you using for your scars, considering your allergy to silicon? xx

hey! i've been following you with my other account and now i decided to make a new "weightloss"blog for myself. maybe you could check it out? :)

Fri, 10 May 2013 03:06:08 -0400

of course! and i’ll post this so other people can follow you too :)

^^ follow this girl!

Hi :) I see a lot about your scar lately and I don't see the problem with it, but if you want to help it heal you could try vitamins A, C, E and also zinc are really good for the skin :) You could try supplements or just eat foods high in those vitamins :D Also pure vitamin e oil on the area might help :) I've been researching to try and get rid of my severe stretch marks and that's what I found helpful. Good luck you look great!

Thu, 09 May 2013 00:38:22 -0400

oh thank you that’s so nice :) i put a silicone gel on my scar, which is apparently according to my doctor and research is the best thing for new scars! i tried bio oil for a bit (vitamin e) but it didn’t really help.

my scars are going to take another 6 months to heal, but if they’re still red or raised after that time, my surgeon said he would place a small injection of a steriod into the scar itself, and that will remove the redness etc. (i forgot the name of the actual steriod) sound crrrazy i know. i think steroids = muscly guys, not scar healing but each type does different things :)
