Are we ever satisfied?

For the last few months, all I thought about was getting my arms done so I could wear tank tops and sleeveless dresses. Now that my arms are done, I'm obsessed with my thighs. I can't stop thinking about getting my thighs done! Now, my thighs, my breasts, even my calves look saggy to me!

No matter what I want to do, I have to wait until next summer. I'm a teacher, so the only time I can recover is during the summer. If I do more surgery next summer, it will be three summers in a row of surgery and no beach etc...

Gail girl, you are in my head!

This morning I've been thinking about my upcoming surgeries: breast lift, neck lift and tummy tuck.  My conversation with myself included that same question, will I ever be satisfied?

Something to ponder....

Honestly, I AM satisfied!! I do plan on having implants in the future and my thighs are a mess, but even if I don't ever have anything else done, I am happy. Big step for me!!

I wonder that myself.
Funny you should mention calves...mine are wrinkly now...extra skin.

My mother...ever so helpful...Not!
She says "how are you gonna complain about your calves now at this weight?? It didn't seem to bother you to walk around being gigantic for years but now you are not happy with your calves?"

Um...really?

Wow. Moms. Gotta love em, even when they're crazy (and I can definitely relate to this, too) !! 

Laura

ugh, Moms.... that's all I can say about that! :-)

MOMs! Gotta love'em because you can't kill'em

You know I've been pondering this for a long time. For a while, I just wanted my arms done. I never even thought of anything else. Well, I lie, I thought about a breast aug...but my primary concern was my arms. Now that my arms are done, I can't help but fantasize about other procedures. In fact, I actually just made an appt for a consult with a residency group out here for an aug.

I am pretty happy with my appearance. However, in a perfect world, I'd nip and tuck everything.

I do think WLS pts are at a higher risk of wanting "more and more",because y'all lose quicker. It took me 5 yrs to lose 100 pds...so I had a lot of time to get used to my body, for the skin to gradually retract, etc. I also had more time to get sick to death of always worrying about my body. I want to move on to the next thing....after an aug

~my comment about wls pts is in no way a dig...just stating an opinion. I have just as much, if not more respect, for wls pts as I do for people who lose in traditional ways!

Gail you are so true. I went for my 2nd week visit at my surgeons office and you know how they have the huge long mirror in the office and my thighs were looking like a pug dog. As soon as he walked in the room didn't give him a change to check my drain tubes or incision...I said Dr. lam can you give me a esitimate for my thighs...lol My husband looked at me like he wanted to kill me, but I was so serious. Shooting for Jan. since I have enemia issues. I need a tank top that says "Under Contruction-Operation  Removal of all  Extra Skin"  Coming Soon

Hi Jervis, glad u r doing so well,
 I did the same thing u did. after my TT I could see the top of my legs & they looked like a
shar pei dog, so I had my thighs done and they dont touch at the top I love it, my legs are beautiful. he takes CARE CREDIT they have 0% interest for 12 or 18 months ask Carla about it..

Susan

Ha, Ha.  I misread this.  I thought  you said."Dam, can you give me and estimate for my thighs!"

Tank top thing funny, too.  We could get you a construction hard hat - just to complete the outfit.
