Plastic Surgery Consult
I am nearly one-year post-op (June 27)! I had a plastic surgery consult with Dr.LoMonaco yesterday. It went well. He told me that I do not need to lose any more weight, and that I am ready for plastic surgery. 
He told me that I have a lot of excess skin and that removal of it all will be a challenge. He recommended two separate surgeries: the first being a lower body lift (whi*****ludes an upper thigh lift and butt lift), a breast lift, and breast augmentation (approx. $25,000); the second surgery being an arm lift, chest lift, and inner thigh lift (approx. $12,000). 
When I viewed the photos that his assistant took of me, I was surprised to see how much excess skin I have, especially on my back. I was both encouraged and discouraged that I don't need to lose any more weight. Encouraged by the fact that I had lost so much body fat and that I am basically at my goal weight; discouraged by the fact that what I thought was fat is really excess skin that no amount of exercise will melt away.
