Plastic Surgery---I want to be Frankenbarbie!

You know I thought the same thing!  I was like no way will I get plastic surgery but my skin is bad bad!  My legs are like yours and my stomach it looks terrible. I'm going to do it too!  My insurance will pay for the Pani removal and I'm going to try and see if they will combine that with a tummy tuck.  This way the anesthesia is covered and I won't be paying as much (I hope).  I've seen some amazing work from that Drs in Mexico.  If it's what you want and feel comfortable with! Go for it!  Oh and I'm 33, I didn't luck out with the skin thing.  I guess being as big as I was...I was going to have lots of skin...sigh.

I sent you a PM but just wanted to say Mexico is a good option and i think you can hubby on board :)

Thanks Alsion, I got it and will share with the hubster. Hugs, Sharon

Sharon, I say go for it. There is no shame in getting plastics to show what you've accomplished. You deserve it!

And WOW Laura, what you've had done is gorgeous.

Sharon,

Like someone mentioned above, having cosmetic surgery made me feel whole and it is the best money I ever spent.

I am a 44 year old male almost five months out from a body lift (with stomach muscle tightening) and an arm lift, and eight weeks out from an inner thigh lift.  I live in NYC and used a wonderful surgeon in Northern NJ who specializes in post weight loss surgery.

The total cost for all three procedures including all hospital fees was just under $25,000.  It would have been about $1200 less but I stayed a second night in the hospital after the body/arm lift.

Regardless of age, everyone deserves to feel as good about themselves as they can.

Good luck!

 

I knew going in that it would be bad, but I don't think I truly fully grasped how bad the skin would be. I knew I'd need plastics, but stupidly thought just a tummy tuck would do it. LOL! I know now it's going to take a whole lot more.

Like others have said, I think I need it to feel whole again - but also for physical reasons. I have some serious issues. No idea how I'll pay for it, but I'll figure it out when the time comes. :)

Oh yeah, Frankenbarbie will be me! I am ready to live with rhe scars

So far, what abdolutely need to be done: arms is number one. They are still huge, plus skin hanging. It is disgusting and I am bot exagerating at all! Second my breast. Ouf I had bug breasts now they are big but flat. They look HORRIBLE. I will have them reduced to a B size for sure. My DH firsn't agree he likes big breast but he says it has to please me and he will like it regardless. Third by panni and above the belly hole. I had teo bellies prior to losing weight and they are still bith present but just hanging more and more everyday. I thought the above the belly part would go down and add up to the bottom part but so far they still are teo separate entities. Legs so far are fine. My back I don't know yet.

The costs? Ouf that is giing to be awfull but I cannot luve like this so I get you!

You go for it girl.  I totally agree.  I hate my arms  I five inches of skin hanging. Disgusting to see it and can,t cover it up all the time.
