Plastic Surgery...GOOD idea or BAD option?!

So it's been 13 months since I had the RNY and I'm down 110 lbs. Needless to say all the weight has left alot of burdensome saggy skin. So, as much as I had hoped it wouldn't come to this, I am now looking into P.S. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated, as I have only heard bad things about getting plastic surgery done. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had it done!

**My biggest concern right now is how long i will need to be off from work...and what to expect!

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.-Isaiah 40:31

 i havent really looked to deeply into plastic surgery yet, but I think it's probably like anything else including our wls...you will always hear horror stories.  I think if you go in with a realistic expectation that even with plastic surgery no one's body is going to be perfect and you  have a good surgeon you trust, you should be fine.  

Good luck with your decision and if you do get ps, let us know how it goes because it seems a lot of people on this board will be interested.

I have never had PS but Im pretty sure its going to leave scars. My mom had RNY and tummy tuck and she has a biiig scar on her stomach. (then again she got it tucked when she got her RNY)
Scars or flab?
All I know is incisions hurt! but it depends on how annoying your skin is. I told myself to wait until Im for sure done having kids and then maybe Ill tighten things up. or a boob job! (in my dreams)
