I can not beleive that I only have 20 pounds to go until I reach my goal weight.  It has only been 7 months and it just amazes me.  Now I just have to find a good plastic surgeon for a tummy tuck, boob job, theighs and arm lift.  WOW that sounds like allot.  Any suggestions from the group? I would even go out of country if need be.  Thanks for all the support everyone.

What a fun 7 months this must have been for you.  No surgery suggestions from this quarter, but we hope the last 20 lbs comes off quickly and your plastic surgery is uneventful.

Wow... you made quick work of it girl! A BIG word of caution... Wait at least until you are 2 years out to do plastics if you can. Your weight needs to stabilize and stay stable for a while before you do plastics, or you will end up losing more, then everything will get loosened up again, and that my friend is a huge bummer.. Been there done that. I was 1 3/4 years out and ended up down 14 lbs and a little disappointed that my skin got a bit looser on me. Even in MX its a lot of money for PS and it is better to wait so the results last for you. BUT of course it is up to you.

Thanks Patrece I was planning on waiting and trying to save up the cash.  So it will be a while.  Just not liking how Im looking in the thighs and arms.  Any other suggestions?

I am not so happy with my inner thighs but they are not as bad as many wls people. I just refuse to wear shorts in public..lol The inner thigh lift is one of the most difficult procedures to go through as far as pain goes, from what I hear.  My arms aren't too bad, and for this I am thankful. I do have a little extra skin, but no real "bat wings" as many like to call them. Just a touch of extra skin.

Ummmm will have to think on other suggestions. I am very tired right now. Just showered, had dressings changed, 2 of 4 drains removed and it was very exhausting.. can't hardly think straight. Slept very little last night. ughhhhhh...
