Hi Kristin,
I think about it from time to time, but would be fine if I didn't have any either. I don't love the look of my legs in shorts, but I didn't like the way they looked before surgery either. I would imagine if I did anything it would be on my stomach.
I would wait until you have stopped losing for 6 months before you start getting serious about it...And exercise. It doesn't tighten skin, but firmer muscles make the skin look like it is slightly lifted.
Good Luck,
Julie

I have had 2 rounds of plastic surgery. I had a lower bodt lift and hernia repair in July 07. I then had my inner thighs, revision of outer thighs when I had my LBL. I also had my breast lifter and they were filled with using my back tissue. If I couldn't afford PS then I could have lived with the extra skin. Once I had one thing fixed then the rest of my body look awful. There are many factors on how well your skin will bounce back such as age, heriditary, water intake, exercise, any how long tou have been over weight. Good Luck!
I really don't want to go thru the expense or pain. I have been going to the gym. I am going to star****er aroebics this week. I might be able to get away with just doing my arms. I might have to just tolerate it because I have a son going to college this year and a daughter that will be following soon.
