Okay I have been looking at pictures here and on other boards

Is there anyone out there like me I have lost 80 lbs and compared to others I don't have that much skin to remove maybe 2 lbs worth doesn't hand just wrinkled more from chlld birth.
Just wondering how I am going to turn out. Everyone looks so amazingly different I am worried now that I will be dissatisfied and won't see a big enough difference is there anyone else that had plastics like me???

Wow- I think you read my mind and pulled out one of my worries! I am sort of in the same boat as you, and am scheduled for my TT on the 28th of December. Hope we can both be reassured by some answers of people who have gone before us!

Fawn, I've seen you...you can't possibly need a TT!
Congrats on getting it scheduled.

I would think that the better you start, the better results you will get.

That's right around the corner! It's natural to be nervous. I didn't actually get nervous until the day before my surgery.

Hey Mo! You look great. I sure wish I was having a tummy tuck. I don't really "need" any PS but I sure want it. I want a TT, an inner thigh lift, a face lift and eye work and maybe a boob job. Don't need any of it, I look good for a 46 year old slender woman but i really would love to look like a 36 year old with a kick ass tight body. So I'm glad you went for it, I'm so happy for you.

I think for me the face/eye lift and then the inner thigh lift will make the most difference but while doing the thighs I may as well to a tt . So now that I am pretty much at goal I want it done now! I don't want to waste anymore time not being my best. But I'm still out of work and would have to run up some credit cards or withdraw from my 401K to do this and that feels financially irresponsible. If I could only get a home equity loan but they won't give one to me without a job. I have the time to do it and heal now so it would be ideal except for the whole money thing.

oh what to do what to do...

Anyway, I'm watching my Phillies kick the Doger's ass right now...sorry!

HI There,

SO glad to see you are still around on the boards. Most people say I don't need PS either cuz I look okay in clothes but they haven't seen me naked LOL my hubby just wants me to be happy so he has given the purse strings over and said go for it. I am still comtemplating taking care of the bat wing arms but we will see maybe if I could just get myself to excercise it will help maybe after I get the TT and the boob I will like it so much it will motivate me to do something to keep the tight bod one can only hope.
ANyway Congrads on being at goal I really don't plan on losing any more weight but it does still keep coming off slowly but still at a rate of 2 lbs a month. I guess I would be okay at 135 but not much more . This whole journey was awesome wouldn't you say... seems like yesterday we were just having it done... Hooay for us. Bestt wishes girlfriend

Cheers

I actually hardly ever get on OH, just been obsessed with other things like triathlons, but I try to come on now and then to catch up and answer a few newbie questions. It sure has been an amazing journey, best thing I've ever done for myself. I feel like a new person. I too keep losing a little every month and I'm not really trying which is great because I know it will reverse at some point so the lower I get before then then less damage the rebound will do. Good luck with your PS i look forward to hearing how you do!
