Thanks Belle -
The body lift ? - is that just the lower abdomen and stomach. it doesn't include your butt or thighs?
I get scared of thinking of have so much work done - because honestly I could use a tummy tuck, implants/lift and my thighs done..... basically my whole body.
I figure to start w/ my arms and chest, since I can hide pretty much everything else.
thanks -

I'm actually looking into 4 doctors and all of them have been highly recommended or I do know someone that has used them. I guess i also have to consider $$ - some work with insurance and some don't - but they have payment plans. I really don't want $$ to be the deciding factor, but i guess i can't put myself into serious debt.... I have 3 kids getting close to college.
ThanksMarta

Hi Janie -
I actually did get three names from my surgeon and i have 1 more from a friend that actually worked for the PS - and she had work done by him. Although I can't see much difference on her from b/4. She had a breast reduction and tummy tuck, but she was always thin to begin with.
Anyway - the scars on the arms are noticeable( they run down the inside from the arm pit to the elbow). I have a friend who had hers done and you can only really see the scars when she lifts her arms. At this point I would rather have scars and the wrinkly saggy skin. When i was at the beach this summer i was so self conscious about it. Here I look normal all over and then you see my arms and YUCK.
i also figured if i do my arms I will do my chest......i wear a c cup but it is all skin..... i don't think a lift would even help me - i might need implants as well.
I guess I have to see what the doctor suggests....
thanks for your imput.

Hey Suz! Its funny you would say be accountable cause that is what I just typed on my blog!! :-) Great minds huh? lol
Well my work schedule has changed the last two weeks and I am so off my normal routine..don't have much time for the computer. I attend therapy (Yup, therapy all day cause I have issues) from 7:30 to 2:30 and then work from 3-11 right now so when I get home...its to bed I go!
Well with out futher ado here are my extra late stats...I cant belive I have missed so much time posting here..never thought I would be a slacker but I guess when you are not doing the right things, you tend to shy away from accountability..well I am back now and thanks Suz for getting us back on track!!

Oh yeah, that's the best news...after 5 years....yes, I said 5, if you haven't been chosen by the computer already, you are automatically in! woohoo.
As for teachers...they can't get nurses that want to teach because they can make so much more money working as a nurse. Teachers make squat. And so, a person has to work their tail off to earn a Masters degree, only to make half of what a floor nurse can potentially earn? No thanks...I'll wipe butts or change dressings.

Hey Marta - nice seeing you here again. I didn't have my arms done, but want them done. I agree w/ Anna though, make sure and research whomever you chose. Also, you might want to ask your doctor who did the WLS if they can recommend anyone. That's how I found my plastic surgeon, Dr. Hing. He speialized in doing plastics on people who have had gastric bypass and have lost a ton of weight. I think that's important too, that whomever you chose has experience in dealing with all of the loose skin we have from being obese.
I had a tummy tuck w/ a vertical extension and a breast lift in March of this year. I love it. The final thing I want done now are my arms. I really want to see a picture of what the scars look like though.
Anyways, good luck to you.
