Plastic surgery-I need some advice

I have been stalled at a size 14-16 forever.  My biggest issue is this roll around my gut and hips.  I know I should lose more weight, but I can't seem to stay motivated, and wondered if having surgery to remove some of these lumps might motivate me to get back on track.  I realize this surgery would probably need to be redone if I did lose more weight.

Some of you have done this, and I wondered if you were satisfied with the results and would advise going ahead or waiting until I get to goal. 

My daughter is going for her second PS consultation next week.  When she originally went, the doctor told her that she needed to be within 10 pounds of her goal weight.  That is where she is now, so she is going back for another consultation.

Good idea Linda.  I hope your daughter does well

I'm not quit ready for plastics but  found this on the net. I can relate!

This is just too funny Mary.  And yes, sometimes I miss how firm I was when I was fat.

Hi Judy,
What you really should do is set up a consultation with a plastic surgeon so they can tell you if and when you should have surgery.  You would be surprised that at a size 14 or 16 your excess weight could be the only thing keeping you from that goal number.  I have heard that people can have 10 lbs or more of excess skin.  My surgeon was the best and he's right in Ypsilanti.  If you are interested his name is Dr. Vincent DiNick you can reach him at 734-547-4729 be sure to tell him Terri says hi.  My husband tells me he can flip a quarter off of my stomach now....LOL.

Thanks.  I think I do need to at least ask and see if surgery can get me moving downward again.
