Can we look and feel great in the skin we are in without plastic surgery

I know I am jumping the proverbial "gun" here  but one of my concerns is "sagging skin" after WLS.  I am not financially or medically prepared to have plastics done after WLS but will sagging skin be an issue in how I feel about myself. I am 5 feet tall and have 100 lbs to loose. I know and plan to do loads of exercise in terms of weight training and cardio but will that be enough. Does anyone know someone who has lost 100lbs and doesn't have sagging skin. I am not looking for perfection, and I realize and am willing to accept some sagging skin, but not the hangy yucky stuff. Am I being too self absorbed. All replies welcomed.

I just read that link you offered to me and it was very interesting and informative. Just as I suspected, even plastics is a serious operation. I think I will continue at the gym, build muscle and just be happy with who I am and what I have accomplished.(assuming that I will accomplish my goals heheh). Yeah, I think plastics are out for me. Just wasn't sure if 100 lbs would make as much difference as 200lbs in terms of excess skin.

I was under the impression that if you have a log of sagging skin, that medicare NB will cover the plastic surgery needed to take care of it.....anyone out there who can confirm that???

Hey Casey, thanks for the imput, but, I am in Nova Scotia having surgery in Nova Scotia and I am not sure if MSI covers plastics BUT.....I don't want to undergo any further surgeries. Maybe I will just have to live with it.  I have terrible reactions to anestetic and I think WLS will be it for me.

I think they will only cover removal of the apron (sagging stomach).

Ohhh, that sounds nasty.....do you know anyone who has lost 100lbs and had lots of excess skin or was the excess skin liveable. I am willing to deal with "livealbe" I could duct tape my lower belly perhaps........maybe a girdle?

I'm not going to have much choice unless I win the lottery :)

I have lost over 100 lbs and I exercised more than any human being I know. I definitely have lots of loose skin. Could be worse but I definitely could use plastic surgery. Not something I'm willing to spend that kind of money on though so no bikinis for Krista :)

I am sure I was told at the info session that NB Medicare would pay for a tummy tuck only. The rest is up to you. 

When I saw Dr B at the end of October, he told me it was POSSIBLE but not a 100% thing. I have no "sores" or anything like that, so I'm thinking the chances are pretty slim. Someone (I don't remember who) also mentioned that they don't like to "fix" one part of the stomach and not the other. I wish I had the money but really for me? I won't be modelling bathing suits anytime soon :)
