Investigating Surgery

Hello Everyone-

I am looking into tummy tuck and thigh lift I am 25 lbs away from my personal goal.  Is it too soon to begin looking into surgery and does anyone have any advace regarding these procedures.  My thighs bother me more than my belly skin, but my belly keeps me from wearing smaller sizes.

Any advice is very much welcomed!

No, it is not to soon.  The surgeon will give you a good idea of what is fat and what is skin.   

My belly was key as but I had a lot of skin removed.  approx 18lbs.  I had about a 260lb weight loss.  I say go with what bothers you the most.


Good Luck!

It's never too soon to start looking into it.  It's a really good idea to spend time researching different PS's and finidng out what your insurnace requirements are.  You should consult with multiple PS's to get their different perspectives.

I just had a panniculectomy 3 weeks ago, insurance covered, I didn't have my muscles done and I still can't believe its me I'm looking at in the mirror, even with the swelling.  My belly kept me in a size 12/14 when my legs were a size 8/10 so hopefully I'll end up in a 10.  I don't even care if I'm in a 12 so long as I don't have to shop for shirts that are long enough to cover the huge belly I had.

there is so much info on this site, and from the people on this msg board, so ask away!
