  1. @@pallavi I have seen 2 plastic surgeons and they were about the same price. But their techniques where different. The second one I saw was much more hands on and explained everything to me more in depth and he was brutally honest. I liked him better. SO definitely shop around when it come to surgeons. I have to have 4 procedures. Excuse me now I do not know the medically terminology for all this. Eventually I will get a lower body lift, that is where they will do a circumference incision around my lower bikini line/hip/butt area. I have so much extra skin in order to get it tight he will also have to do a lateral incision on my abdominal area. This procedure in completely optional, depending on if I want tight skin or still have to deal with some loose skin. I am doing the surgery so I want it all gone and tight. I have to have a thigh and butt lift, a breast lift with augmentation, and an arm lift. My surgeon will do it in 2 surgeries. The lower and then the upper. They cost about 15,000-16,000 each. So all together about 30,000. This includes all fees, operating room fees, anesthesia, hospital stay, and pre-op visits. The only thing it does not cover is pain meds after the surgeries. The recovering time after the surgeries is long and you have to be off from work 3-4 weeks depending on your job.
  2. I started my journey 30 months ago. I have lost 145 pounds. I am now 120 pounds. At 128 pounds my Dr. told me he thought I was at a healthy weight but it would not be unhealthy if I wanted to lose more weight. We just did not talk about how much weight would be too much. I want to get down to 110 pounds. I am 5'2" and I have a small frame. I do have extra skin. I have seen a plastic surgeon and because I am so tiny I only have 2-3 pound of extra skin that needs to be removed. Because of my extra skin I am still very uncomfortable and I still do not feel comfortable with my body and I still feel fat. I also feel like I could lose more weight. My question is, is it crazy that I want to lose 10 more pounds? I have attached before and after pics. TIA
