Skin and Boobs after Surgery

I just had my surgery last wednesday...the 16th...I am 22, have 3 kids and I was 350 pounds..I have already lost to 333. I am wondering how people similar to me did with hanging skin and boobs? I am wondering if I need to start saving for plastic surgery???? Thanks! ~Lauren

well im 20 and i had rny in july at 275 now im 160 and i will say that yeah i need a breast lift and tummy tuck pretty bad but im waiting for that extra 20 lbs to come off before i do it.. i also have problems with skin on my arms and upper thighs but mostly lower tummy and back and boobs...hope that helps a little...i would say yeah tp the saving for plastic surgery just because some people can live with the skin but if your younger the plastic surgery kind of finishes your journey you know

Hey there, See my post in the "kinda personal Q's...skin!!!" topic a few topics down from yours....I posted my experience with loose skin in there!!! :)

I'm planning on having plastic surgery, but haven't been able to start saving up for it yet....it's going to be a while probably before I can get it done...unless some way I can get it covered by my insurance (which I hear is hard to do!) Kim :)

Thank you guys so much! I greatly appreciate the advise...I didn't know anyone who had already "been there" to ask about it! This was what I was most worried about...but I think I'll be okay now...THANK YOU!

I posted pictures of my excess skin on my profile about a week ago - check them out. Yes start saving for plastic surgery - I went for a consult and am looking at 30-40K worth of surgery and as you can see my excess skin isnt 'that bad' w/the except of my stomach. PS is expensive! My friend is my same height and started her journey at around 380, she was 25 when she had surgery (shes 31 now) and has had 40K worth of PS so far as well.
