Topic: RE: plasict surgery??
I've considered it but from what I can tell its going to be between 4500-10000. Not something I can afford. I am going to the doctor on May 5th on my 28th bday and being 14 months out to see if there is anything I can do to tighten the skin with drugs or creams. I know I need to be drinking a lot more water. I lost 216lbs in a year but the sagging skin on my stomach is really bugging me. I know that my insurance won't cover it which is expected. From what I have heard from some of the guys on the men's forum between year 1 and 2 it tightens up a lot just start drinking a lot more water. I will post after my doctor visit if there is anything he recommends to help.
I need to buy a new bathing suit, I haven't had one since before surgery, it is way way way too big for me. I went from a size 48 to a size 34 and from a 4xl shirt to a 1xl shirt. If it wasn't for the extra skin I could easily fit in a large. I wish the damn clothing makers would make shirts longer for the tall guys. I'm 6'4" 210 but apparently I am still 30 lbs overweight. Going to get that confirmed by the doctor too, I always thought I had a large frame but apparently I have a medium to small frame.

Hello Group of March 2009 :
Congratulations to all of us. My surgiversary was 03/04/09. Lost 92 pounds. So happy that I can walk and breathe at the same time.
Not sure if I am a slow loser (hypothyroid), maybe I am.
What I am sure of is that my health has improved and that pleases me greatly!
I am thankful to have been given a new lease on life.
Continued success to each and every one of us.

I just realized I lost only 1# each month these last 3 months! UGH! However, I have lost 126# now, got my labs in the "normal" range. I too wanted to be under 200# by now but it will happen. I got to get in gear though. Happy One Year Anniversary everyone! Be proud of what you did accomplish!
