Question:
time before plastic surgery - At what point did you have your plastic/reconstructive surgery

I am 5.5 months post op and have lost 112 lbs. I have 200 more to lose. I now relize my arms, stomach,breast and thighs are going to stay big. My inner thighs are starting to sag and my upper back and shoulders are starting to hurt constantly. I think my back is hurting because I have so much weight on my front as opposed to my bottom and back side. Will surgeons start the reconstructive surgery before the 2 years or when you have obtained your near goal weight? Not only do the weight affect you physically, but it affects you psychologically. There is no way I would get in the pool at the Y because I am so self concious about wearing a bathing suit.    — Jan M. (posted on April 5, 2001)
