Hello Friends Here's a lil background. June 7th will be 2 years post VSG I have been at goal weight 150lbs since July 24 '11. I am looking into plastic surgery and I guess want some input from others. My ins is going to pay for part of my tummy tuck but I will be out some because I want a belly button (kinda crazy but true). I am also thinking that I'd like to have either my arms or boobs done. My arms bother me I have bat wings not horrible but bad enough that it bothers me. I have wondered if with some more intense work if I could fix the arms myself. As for the boob I went from a DD to a B I feel soooo flat chested, they were the last things to go I thought I was going to be a D and I was cool with that then BAM they were gone, bye Bye, See Ya, Outta here =) I would like to have them back but am unsure what size to go with if I do it.Like I said this is just a sounding board Comments are Always Welcome =) Oh & BTW my Hubby is such a Boob man (yeah I know TMI)

Hey!

Wanted to chime in. Had my Tummy Tuck, Breast Lift, and Silicone Breast Implants done November of 2011. I am so THRILLED I did it. Its like putting the icing on the cake. I feel so much more normal not tucking my stomach into my underwear or lifting my breasts off my chest.

I can tell you at one point I was very against having the implants done. I went from a 40D/DD to a 34/36 C and the only reason I was C-ish was because of the excess skin. I would have been a B without adding an implant, which for my frame, I felt, was too small. I want the proportionate frame I had before I gained the weight.

But I was scared about the risks after reading the info packet, i was worried about them leaking, didnt want people to judge me for having implants, didnt want to be known as a walking set of boobs when i am a medical professional..etc

After a ton of debate within myself and almost backing out, i decided on a small 250 cc moderate profile plus silicone implant. I am so happy I did it. I have just enough boob to look proportionate, they look and feel real. It really has completed my transformation. Truly. My fi.nal result is about a 34/36 C

So..my vote is..boobs and belly!

Weight training can do ALOT for your arms. If you havent tried it you really should. My arms were fairly flabby, but now that I lift weights regularly (not 2lb hand weights, like real weights) I see such a difference, the sag is way less evident and my arms are shapelier.

Hope that helps!

I am 5'7 or a hair under

Not sure about my body frame, i am taller with longer legs and arms, but I do carry a little more weight in my thighs and hips, i have a noticeably smaller waist than my hips, kind of hourglass meets pear if we are talking fruit!.

I'm having a full LBL and gynecomastia removal in less than two months and can't wait.

I've found the plastic surgery forum to be very helpful.
