delicate subject

So, I'm used to my arms hanging, my legs hanging, my belly hanging, and my chin melting and my boobs hanging but, dare I say, the other day, I was getting dressed to take the grands to the park (had on my size six panties) and my very precious Mathew said, "Nana, are you a boy?"  I said, "Well, no. I'm a girl."  He said, "What's that?"  Yep, he did.  He pointed at my hanging cooter and I said, oh, well that is my belly and he said, no it's your butt. why is  it there and I said go play and then he said why are your legs like this and he pushes his little chin down to his chest trying to make rolls and I said well it's cause nana used to be really fat and her legs and belly sag and he said yeah and your butt.  Okay, I really didn't need to be critic by my grandson...mentalnote, lock bedroom door when changing clothes. 

So, what's to be done with the cooter. I'm hoping they have a surgery to put her back in her place.  My god, she hangs so far down, lord a mercy I'm a fraid that if a big wind comes from the south, she'll slap my face.  For sure.  Anyone have cooter reconstruction?

When you get a lower body lift they usually do cooter reconstruction...:)

Does your University have a medical program?  Contact their Plastic Surgery Residency Program.  They need guinea pigs to graduate.   We ain't pigs anymore and we ain't from Guinea but they'll take us anyway.

We have really good insurance plus hubby said what the insurance doesn't pay, we can take a loan out or get into his retirement. LOL The cooter and the girls need to be in place.

Jeannie,

I have really good insurance.   All it would pay for is the panniculectomy and even just a tummy tuck and the insurance paying would be $5,600. 

The medical school quoted me $5,800 for the whole lower body lift.  I've got friends who have been there and they are swear by it for ALL their plastics.

I just didn't want to take out a loan.  I can handle the medical school costs.

But in any event....good luck to both our "Cooter Brown's"... :)

You're in a really good place, here, well, I'm not so sure I'd trust a medical school.  In any event, I have to wait until October before my surgeon will refer me anyway.  Hopefully by next summer, I'll have some of this baggage gone. 

Jeanne,
they repaired mine when they did my lower body lift. My husband and I were twins. But mine hung donw lower than his!!!!!!

That's a relief to know.  My wls surgeon wants me to wait until October before he will even consider a referral.  So, I'm thinking next summer.  I just want things back in the right vacinity. LOL

Are you talking Hoo Hoo or Buttocks? I'm a bit confused!

shes talking hoo hoo and i know what you are talking about Jeanie, that is why im thinking of a lower body lift too or partially. i really dont like all the loose skin we have everywhere, if it was just the belly it wouldnt bother me so much but i have as much on my back hanging as i do on my belly. i have found a good two piece support outfit that i wear that does make everything a little smoother.
still like it better than filled with fat but darn cant we get anything right???lol

Jan, I swear, this saggy skin is really getting hard to take. LOL  We need to go in and get a two for one.   lol
