Is anyone else from 12-03 NOT having/ wanting plastics?

I feel like I'm weird or something! I have no interest or desire for plastics but so many others that had similar surgery dates are either planning or wanting to plan for them. Maybe I'm in complete denial or maybe after years of not caring too much how I looked, I just don't see it now....but I don't really see that I need plastics. My boobs sag without a bra..just like they did before surgery, though they just aren't as heavy. I don't have much excess on my tummy at all. At certain times, I see some not-so-lovely skin on my theighs and upper arms, but these areas are generally covered up. Maybe it is because I went into this knowing I wasn't going to be tiny as I'm not built tiny in any way, shape, or form! I don't have "shorts legs" or a bathing suit body no matter how much I loose or tighten up (I have very very large bones in my ankles and calves and just don't look good with them exposed). I think I look pretty good in clothes but don't think I'd expose many people to me without them, even if I did get firmed up! I'm honestly wondering if I'm really strange for not even wanting plastics. Is there anyone else like me? Who's lost about the same amount (127)? Not that I feel I need to be like "everyone" else but just wondered if I have any company on this?? LOL! Jenni

Hi Jenny, I have lost exactly 127 pounds and we had surgery the same day, in the same hospital. Congrats to you! I don't really want any surgery either. Maybe just a breast lift, but since I don't have any kids yet, I think I will pass on that. I am at my goal and I am 10 pounds under my personal goal. My doctor dosen't want me to lose anymore. Glad your surgery went well and keep up the good work. Raegan

Raegan, Yes, I remember that we are surgery twins and even at the same hospital! Congrats to you on your great success! I'm still 8 lbs. from Dr. S's goal for me and another 10 lbs. is my own goal. I'm thinking it could take MONTHS for me to loose another 18 but I may settle for the 8 as I'm honestly pretty happy where I'm at. I'm glad to know I'm not completely alone in not pursuing the plastics option. Maybe down the road I'll think I need to.......I suppose as I age, the sagging will get worse, but I'm just so happy to where normal sized clothes and to feel normal that I can't imagine going through more surgery. Best to you, my twin! Jenni

Hi Jenni, I'm another not going the plastic route, but it is by insurance, not choice. I'd love to have my arms done, as they hang down about 6 inches of flaps and my tummy keeps me from wearing a 14 in jeans. But I don't hang enough for my insurance to pay, and I can't afford self pay, even in Canada. So I guess I'm stuck this way. What'cha gonna do? Nona

I really have no desire at the moment....it is more of a PAIN and scarring thing for me. Watched enough of those shows....as far as I am concerned...I like the way I look in CLOTHES...my husband doesn't criticize my body and thinks I look fine. SO until I have kids and let them ruin my body even more...I am in NO hurry to consider PS. Who know what will happen in a few years. My obgyn says your skin will still retract some and that I should give it time. Besides I still have at least 10 more lbs before I want to stop and technically there is about 30 lbs still hanging around. NOTE to self --don't look at your body fat rolls when you are sitting nekkid on the toilet! NOT a flattering position to be in!!! But when I am standing UP...I feel pretty good when I look in the mirror naked. Nothing a bit of a tan wouldn't fix at least!!! Of course I can only enjoy this for the next 6 months because we plan to start trying in May. I do hope that going off BC will help boost the weight loss a bit?!?!? Anyone know if that makes a difference?
