Topic: RE: Plastic Surgery Anyone
i've lost 84 pounds and i'm pretty much done losing. i don't have lots of hanging skin. yes, i could definitely use a butt lift, but not going there! lol next week i'm having hernia repair and the dr. said he will do some muscle tightening, so hopefully that will flatten my tummy out a bit. the worst "offenders" are my boobs and i definitely want to have them done - soon! i've been having consults for BA/BL. might shoot for mid sept-oct to have them done. good luck to you!

I know how you feel about the arms!! Every time I drink I contemplate cutting them off myself! I've always had huge arms though and have always hated them, but atleast now they are mostly skin! I also have more skin than I thought I would around my abdominal area and I'm shocked at my thighs! My boobs look about 3 times my age now, too... lol, So yes, I'm also planning on plastic surgery in the (hopefully) near future. I am hoping for the full body lift.

Thanks for your reply Lori. Waiting is so freaking hard. I want to look like I feel, but sagging skin is just a downer. Oh well, I waited over 3 years to get RNY approved, I can wait for PS.

Torrey,
I will be a year on the 16th.
I am down 82-84 pounds so far I have gone from 226.5 to 143/145.
I thought I would be at my goal of 135 by now but I still have about 10 pounds to go.
I am happy with the weight I have lost so far. I know I would not have done it on my own.My sizes were a 22 pants to a 6-8 depends on how they are cut mostly I am in a 8
my tops were a 2xl now I am in med.
So yea I am happy and yet still mad too that I did not meet my goal for my one year. But I am close so hopefully soon I will get there.
Take care,
Chrissy

Hi Torrey,
Yes, I will definitly be going for PS. I hate, hate, hate my arms. They have always been huge and now they just hang grossly and swing in the wind. Kids love this new play toy for them. A plastic surgeon at a support group meeting I went to back in June said it is one of the hardest surgeries to do, but I don't care. These batwings must go.
I also want to do a lower body lift and what ever portion my insurance won't cover, I'll do through an equity loan or something. I'm not too worried about my breasts. They do droop alot, but with a great bra the girls are fine. Although I may change my mind if I ever start dating and get serious about someone. I may not like what I see in the mirror when I'm naked and wouldn't want to shock the life out of him. 
Anyway, the doctor I saw at the support group meeting was so nice. I wish he was in my area. He is from Tampa and I live in Cocoa Beach area. That's a 3 to 4 hour trip one way. I thought my surgery for RNY was far. But that is farther.
I know that I have to wait another 6 to 12 months though and that's okay for now. I don't have enough funds saved up yet anyway with buying my new house. So I am back to the drawing board for getting this surgery funding together.
Great question to ponder for now, thanks for asking it.

It's been a year, or almost a year, for all of us. Is any one else research plastic surgery? I just took some new pics as I was heading to a party. I was wearing a sexy little bra halter dress for Victoria's Secret, size L. I got so bummed looking at the pics. You could see the rolls of skin on my upper arms. Even worse, loose skin hanging from my thighs over my knees. Ick.
At 18 months, I'm going in for a consult. I don't know if it's lucky or not, but I have a hernia that doesn't bother me. It should be my tummy tuck cover however. Hopefully I get my arms done at the same time. I was looking at a breast lift until I found out how they did it. I thought the RNY was scary.
So, are you looking at PS? What type? Thoughts?
Cheers,

Thanks for all your replies. I think we've all met our main goal, to feel better; physically and about ourselves.
To all of you on this board, you've really helped me through the year. It's such a boost to know I'm not the only one who only lost 95lbs in a year.
Cheers,

Hi Torrey
Well my year date is the 23rd don't think I'm going to reach my 100 lb goal. But I have lost 95lbs so far and feel great if I don't loose another once! I went from a 26 to a 16 and a 4x to a lg. top. I no longer take meds for high blood pressure or the 3 I was takeing for my type 2 diabetes! I can walk and ride bikes for days! I really want to get to at least 150lbs. I will even settle for 160! Thats 35 more to go! I to thought I'd be alot smaller by now. Went from a size 12 underware to a size 8! All my weight mostly has been in my stomach area!! Lucky me!! skinny legs and arms arn't so bad either. Im still following the rules of the pouch though. Yea I slip at times but don' we all! LOL
I walk everyday just about and doing weights as well and swimming. I've noticed the inches comming off. Hopefully I'll get under 190 soon. I think we alll have done a fantastic job!
remember everyone looses diffrent! Just think last year at this time how we all were doing!!! Everyone keep Up the great work. We can do this! Much love,
