Plastic surgery consult

I know I am a bit premature with this, but I scheduled a consultation with a plastic surgeon for next month. I want to know everything I can so I can plan toward it. I have so much excess skin and I am sure that I will be paying for a lot of work I want done. I have a lot of itchy rashes under my belly and I am hoping that this might buy me a free ticket for at least the TT being done. This might sound silly, but I am hoping that they don't get rid of my C-section scar. I always feel that my scars are part of my road map of life, but I can deal if they remove that skin, too. But I also want my wings clipped, my boobs lifted and my chicken skin filleted so I figure let me explore what I have to do. A woman I know from my son's old school had work done with him and he also has a very strong following on Obesityhelp. I sent an email to a friend of mine who had already had an armlift done, asking about her doctor and such. She changed the subject title to read "A Farewell to Arms." which I thought was adorable! Enjoy the rest of the day, Sue

Sue, I am SO tempted to do the same thing, but I don't want to get PS done until I have a few kids. Might as well ruin my body all the way before I pay to fix it! Keep us posted! Jenn

I'm with Jenn - I would dearly love to have plastic surgery done but want to wait to see if kids are on the way. But then again I was talking to someone and she said that her daughter tightened back up after having kids, she had a tt before getting pregnant. So maybe it would work - probably have to talk to the plastic surgeon about that scenario. good luck, sarah

Hello I have already been to my family doctor in January to start documenting my rashes and belly skin. I had her order me some anti fungal cream and I am keeping records of everything. I go back to her in May for my Pap. And I will bring pictures of the skin and rashes. I am documenting everything. In May we have the plastic surgeon speaking at our support group (for the second time). I really like him. I will make an appointment with him in May or June to start the insurance ball rolling. I will get letters from my family doctor, surgeon and plastic surgeon...and have all my doctor visits, pictures and RXs documented for the insurance. So as you see, I am being pro active for surgery I hope to have in December 2007. (only time my job is slow enough to allow me this much time off). OH, I am only getting a Tummy tuck for now (no muscel tightening) just skin cut off. Then, I will look into my legs for next year. Thighs are really bad too!
