Less than 3 months away -- pulling at skin in mirror
I am having LBL, BL/BA, smalll TL and maybe and arm lift on 11/7. I have started pulling up my skin in the mirror to see how things will look. It is just so hard to know what I will look like afterwards.
I'm also struggling with the last 5-10 lbs arg! I don't know if I really need to lose them. I look very lean in clothes, but get the clothes off and I'm all wrinkly!
Arg I can't wait!

Pulling at the skin gives you pretty much NO idea of what you'll look like after. Been there....done that. My results have been way better that anything I expected. Bet yours will be too. And waiting is a *****!
You probably don't need to lose the last few pounds, but there's no reason to stop trying right up to surgery.

It is always better to be at your stabilized weight but that amount of weight should not matter. You should lose a significant amount of weight with surgery itself as well as in the post-op period. Good luck!
