If you had a choice to get plastics????

Hi there Jan.2004 WLS friends, If you had a choice to get plastic surgery on just one part of your body, what would it be and why????? I think the first thing on my list would be my arms, Lord I could fly with these bat wings....I could wear short sleeve tops without feeling gross about how my arms are waving like the American Flag....

If i could only do one thing it would be a tummy tuck. So my clothes would fit better. i think i could feel more confident without the excess. If i could have an extreme makeover i would have arm, leg and tummy tucks and breast lift. have a good one. michelle

Wow! That's a tough one... I'm not sure whether I would opt for my tummy or my thighs. Somehow I wound up with 2 tummies, I need to get rid of one (go figure, I get WLS to get RID of my belly, and I wind up with TWO after losing weight). Now, I'd also be inclined to pick my thighs... Remember the children's book 'The Camel with the Wrinkled Knees'? I'm the chick with the wrinkled thighs. ~Kathie

Good question Jeannie! Man though - I can only pick on? How the choices.... I am going to do the breast reduction/lift. So that's an automatic. I am only 30 years onld and I have the breasts of an 80 year old woman. I haven't even had kids and breastfed! They sag to my stomache! If I had a second choice - it would definitely be my thighs - or maybe a lower trunk lift to get the thighs, rear end & tummy all at once. My grandmother thinks I am too vain & should just be happy I have lost the weight. I think that since I have lost the weight - -why can't I be happier with the results of the weight loss?

No doubt in my mind...tummy tuck all the way! I have always hated my belly after having three kids...yuck! I want it GONE! I'm currently waiting on approval for a consult to see a Plastic surgeon.

Absolutely the number one thing in my book is the tummy tuck...right now i have upper tummy then waist and lower tummy..one of them has GOT TO GO !!! I demand it!!! By the way I had my consult with the doc who did rny on me date set is Febuary 3,2005 but i may choose doc in town since there is alot of post op care and visits

Good question, DEFINATLY MY TUMMY. I am going to see where I am in Jan and start from there to hopefully try to get it covered. Now I thought I would never say this either but I am always thinking about breast implants as well, I was one who was dead set against that but I could get a pedicure and breast exam at the same dam time right now so I may think to do them both, tt and boobs at once!!!!!!!!!!! DREAMS

1st my drooping apron belly - so clothes will fit right and stop the rashes. I should take up stock in powder. Recently it has been getting worse. 2nd my wind sock boobs - so I can get a bra that can hold them up where they belong. 3rd my bat wings - so my kids will stop playing with the flab. Definately on my list - hopefully they will be on the insurance list also. Best of luck to all. Dawn -100

I would have to vote for my arms too. I won't even wear t-shirts right now because there is so much loose skin. It's disgusting.
