You sooo shouldn't be afraid of plastics, Amy! I'm 13 days out from my extended tummy tuck and I'm thrilled with my results! I'm feeling awesome to be quite honest. The pain is much less than my open DS was, the first 3 days sucked, and it's been smooth sailing since then. My drains are out, and I'm even off of pain meds already.

I'm 13 days out from my extended tummy tuck.....so, yeah, I guess I have been thinking about plastics! Lol! It happened like a whirlwind, really! Had a hernia, it almost obstructed, and then three weeks later, I was in for my repair and tummy tuck! Crazy fast, totally worth it, and I highly recommend it! I have my befores and one week out pics on my profile if you'd like to see.

After loosing 160+ pounds I know I NEED plastics. My boobs are almost to my belly button (arrgghh) I bet I could throw them over my shoulder if I really wanted to. My stomache is hanging low and my poor inner thighs look so sad... the fat is hanging around my knees...LOL
I wish they could just pull from my shoulder and lift everything up.
I know that I cant afford plastics, so I am not sure what I will do.
I have about 40 more pounds to get to goal but I feel like I have 30 pounds of skin that can be cut off too.
If anyone knows how to get good plastics cheap let me know.

I think about it. I just don't have to the time from work to take 6 weeks off + money. I have told myself to wait one more year to see what happens to my skin. I've heard people say that the skin does snap back a little bit. So my fingers are crossed.

If I wasn't so afraid of plastics, I'd be having my boobs and tummy done. They both look deflated and like a Sharpei, yup.
Topic: RE: So, whose starting to think and inquire about plastic surgery??
I am going to wait for 2 years and see what happens..I have some extra but not alot but I said if in 2 years I dont like the way something looks I will have it changed,, I had a breast reductions in 2002 I havent liked the looks of those since i had it done, But really glad I got rid of them 6lbs of my breast..they would be down t my ankles by now if i still had them,, I think my stomach and inner thighs might need it. I do have to say so my self in cloths I look great..with out cloths well hubby dont complain. but what guy would. we are our worse critic..
I dont smoke or drink son all grown up not grand kids so after 2 year I will start checking into it, But for right now I am enjoyiing pple say I look Sexy.. I even got hit on by a 19 year old,, he must of been blind.....
Topic: RE: Weekly Weigh In
I'm so sorry I have not checked in recently! The month of May has been nutzo! Here is where I am to date:
Highest: 315
Surgery day: 290
Current: 180
Total: 135 lbs
Since Surgery: 110 lbs
I really have been hanging steady with not much to report for losses over the last month or so. You know what, I am okay with it. If I lose more, great, if I stay here, fine. Now I want to work on toning as much as I can. Plastics are not in my near future so I have to work with what I got!
Keep on Keepin' on!
Topic: So, whose starting to think and inquire about plastic surgery??
I know I am!! I look like a cross between a deflated balloon and a Sharpei puppy!! I guess my worst areas (at least in my mind) are my stomach, arms, and inner thighs. My butt is small, but it could use a lift and my breasts...well, they certainly need a lift!! They have also lost a lot of volume, so I am uncertain about the need for an implant.
I haven't gone to a consult yet, but I find myself spending more and more time on the plasitcs message board looking at pictures and also looking at the websites of doctors in my area at their before and after pics.
For some reason, I am more scared about plastics than I was for my RNY surgery! I still need to lose another 30 pounds (I've lost 102) and I am not even a year out, but somehow I am gonna have to get some surgery!! I hate my new body. I can literally see how much smaller I would be without all the skin. I know I have at least 10 pounds of extra skin all over.
What are your thoughts about plastics and how long are you gonna wait? Do you think you really need it to feel complete or do you just want it? I think I NEED it!!
Can't wait to hear from you all...

Topic: RE: closing in on our 1 yr surgerversaries
Way back in the beginning I had a fantasy about loosing all my weight in 1 year. The reality is my body wants to slow down on this weight loss. I've lost 125 lbs since last May and I'm pretty happy about that. I have another 30 lbs to go and I'm giving myself to December 08 maybe January so I work hard through the holidays.
At this point my goal is just to do the best I can by my surgerversary and mark it as a very happy day. With good luck and hard work I'll have a great big number to report lost on that day.
