My Doctors Appointment

I went to my doctors yesterday, it was my first since march because my insurance had cancelled.......I finally got my insurance back...... But my doctor who i was thinking was going to be mad at me......but he said I am doing great.... he also said he only wanted me to loose 30 more lbs... I thought.....i wanted to weigh 125 not 140 but I think I will stick with my goal. He also talked about a tummy tuck....but I am not sure if I want one.....i cuts up and down....instead of across the bottom... oh well

Glad to hear you got the ins back and got to see the doc and that your doing so well. I can see his point of wanting you to be at 140 if he plans on plastics becouse then you subtract the amount of weight with skin and fat removed. why do they cut up and down and not acreoss the bikini line? most of the ones i heard about the scar lands about the bikibi area.

well i don't know. He is the doctor that did my gbp and it's not his speciality to do plastics...but he is able to get the insurance to pay for it. I really don't want that scar. The top of my tummy is the only part of it that looks nice........ i have other scars but there at the bottom. I also have learned with different surgeries that up and down hurt worse than accross. .... I don't know if I went to a real plastic surgeon if my insurance would cover it and theres no way i could afford it without.

Heidi, I have the scar up top. But im flat up top. I can live with the scar. Stomach still needs work. I dont know if I can get rid of this or not. but how I see it. It isnt as bad as my breast. They are saggy. They get worse everyday. I wonder if I dont stop loosing weight I am at goal. If my stomach will turn as saggy as my breasts. My daughter said it is impossible to tone that part up completly. I beleive her. Time will tell. Take Care Barb

Barb, That's one problem I don't have to deal with, my breast are not getting saggy..(knock on wood) My breast haven't even shrunk that much....... I think the width of my chest has but not the actual boob... I was hoping they would i really don't want boobs..I am tired of themm....... I know about the scar thing to.....I just wanted to avoid a tt at all cause.. but I might not be able too.. thanks for your advice and input heidi
