Has anyone thought about AFTER you lose weight? (more)

I am at 176lbs now, down from 323 when I left the hospital. I wear size 12's and 14's. My problem is I hate wearing shorts because of the sagging skin! I know Amber has had a tummy tuck, and I have a consult with a plastic surgeon in July, but has anyone else thought about this or know anyone who has had any plastic surgery? I can not do it unless my insurance pays for it. I am hoping that it will. I have had 3 c-sections and the RNY, so I know how to heal from abdominal surgeries and the literature I have read states that recovery from the TT is like a c-section. I am really nervous about this and wondering if the skin will snap back into shape without the surgery. I use Nivea skin firming lotion on my arms and thighs, and after 5 weeks I do notice a slight difference, but who knows if it is because of the lotion or the exercise I get. Anyway, I want some input... thanks!! ~Julie

Julie, A TT is a c-section like incision, i had a panniulectomy which is from breast bone to pelvic bone and around each hip...it's the anchor incision...each person is different regarding the elasticity in the skin, I know the older you are the less likely it is...i'm young and it wasn't working for me...just my input!
