I agree, great post! I've been maintaining for a few months and recently just dropped another 5 which I'd like to keep off  give me some room for the "bounceback" I keep hearing about. I got a consult for an arm lift and customized procedure (a back tuck) and the quote I got was $11K. One thng the PS told me is that my arms wouldn't get as small as I want them to be... so why pay all that and then be less than satisfied? So for now I'm just going to be happy, celebrating the new me until I hit a little mini jackpot

Congrats to all of us for our success we've achieved!

and I feel marvelous.  What a difference in my life since WLS.  I am so glad I did it.

 Congratulations!!

 Great post!

I am minus 165 pounds and just when I think I'm in maintenance mode, the scale moves down a little, but I hope this is where my body is good at because I'm starting to fill my closet back up. LOL

I could use a breast lift & augmentation, brachio, LBL, and panni removal. But, my insurance won't touch any of it since it would all be cosmetic at this point. Therefore, just trying like mad not to let it bother me. I try not to care, but truth is, I do and as much as I wish for it not be an issue anymore since I'm not MO, the loose/hanging skin brings on it's on set of demons in a way.

I've had my mornings where I stand in the shower, letting the ho****er pound down on me and I find myself hoping and praying that it MELTS the excess skin right off. Sad, eh?

But overall, I have loved my journey and I certainly am thankful I did this!

Breathtaking!!!!
