Linda - I know it has a lot to do with how we view ourselves.  Its so easy to look at the imperfections and forget about why we had the WLS to begin with.  It sounds like you have it all in perspective.  Good for you!

 I really enjoyed reading this thread.  I'm not there yet since I still want to lose at least 40 more pounds but it is funny how some areas bother us so much more than we expected.  I didn't think my bat wings would bother me, but since I see them in my workout clothes-yuck!

I had my boobs reduced a few years ago so I've been really worried about the whole tube sock thing.  ( l  rather like being 55 with 8 year old boobs LOL.)  so far though, everything is good.  DH thinks they look bigger!  It's an optical illusion since my stomach is smaller-ha ha.

But,  now I 'm noticing the wrinkles on my face and DH actually said I should get them fixed.  I told him I'd be glad to if he was paying!  He said sure.  So soon I will go and get more Juvederm for face.  I think that will be it for awhile.

p.s. Jody-since I never knew you heavy and I only know your avatar, I'd say you are one hot looking middle aged lady.  Can I be you when I grow up?  Oh wait, I am grown up. Darn. :)

Every time I read about someone getting PS, I get on the I want it kick, but deep down I'm really content with my body.  I look at other women my age and if they are thin they have saggy arms, wrinkled faces, and saggy skin and I guess that's not a reason to not want to improve myself but the fear of surgery at my age is far more overwhelming me to than what I look like in the buff.  

I think it bothered me at the beginning because it really bothered DH.  I've since realized that he was more concerned over me losing so much weight than he was about what I looked like.

If I was younger, single, or rich I'm pretty sure I'd think differently about PS though.

LOL!! Definitely!!!!!   If I was 25 and single I would max my cards out if I had too!!!!!   I have friends a little older than you who have had kids and their skin bounced back but they all need boob jobs.  I wish I had my surgery when I was young intead of wasting all that money and years on WW.  You are one of the smart ones!!

Yep, I'll be taking out some new credit cards for it and I'll have to be fixed again after kids, if I have them, but I figure I deserve a 25-year-old's body.

I read a cute story whose punch line said, "Look for the thin lady in the T-shirt and blue jean cut offs if you want to see me in my NEW bathing suit!"  

I so identify!
