  1. 1. Will you have plastic surgery after you've lost the weight?

    • Two words: hell no.

    • I won't say never, but I seriously doubt it.
      32
    • I'd only consider it if the excess skin etc. causes other medical issues down the road.

    • I probably will if I feel the need and can afford to pay for it.
      120
    • I'm definitely going to have a tummy tuck or something lifted/tightened.
      128
    • Not only am I going to do it, I'm getting everything done. Tummy, lipo, butt, chest, upper arms, chin.

I am going to go for the full monty. I have a BADLY sagging belly. I forget what it is called, but I don't see anyway that is going to absorb back the way it is supposed to. And my butt is HUGE so I am sure there will need to be lifted. My legs aren't too bad in the lower half, but my thighs will prolly need to be lifted when the tummy and butt is. And my arms will need to be done I am sure, but they aren't as bad as the tummy. I had a breast reduction about 9 years ago, and they have lost some of their perkiness after the kids were born, so I will prolly have them lifted, and maybe made slightly bigger. Depends on how much volume I lose. My face should be fine. No need for a chin lift I don't think.

I never thought I would but I want to get a TT. That would be enough for me, I will never get my breasts done no matter how they look because I have had enough surgery on my body and it changes the sensation and feeling of the area. I guess I never want how they feel to change. I can never figure why people never talk about this aspect. Yes I know some newer procedures are susposto keep this intact better but again I am not willing to take the chance with my breasts JMHO. Trish

i have an appointment to have a first consult for a breast reduction...my boobs have never been firm (even when i was thinner) ....my sis had it done and the downside is that for her at least, she lost all sensation in her nipples...that is a downer!!!

i would also have a Tummy Tuck and whatever else i could afford!!!!

I think going under the knife is a wonderful thing. lol!

IF my tummy skin bothers me a lot, I will get a TT, but if it is something I can live with, I can forgo it.

I am not going to join a nudist colony, I am not going to be a bikini model, so if it can be hidden under a good pair of elastic underwear, I will probably forget about it.

I am already saving for a Tummy Tuck and to have the girls lifted. I want to be a hot babe by Christmas 2007.

I'm considering a breast lift if I can't get them into place via exercise. I don't think I'll need a Tummy Tuck as it all seems to be going back into place pretty well so far.

When I started this journey. I truely believed that the weight loss alone would be very satisfying and enough. But As I get closer to goal, I am having a very hard time not seeing the fat guy still. I think that I will only be truely happy when I get the "apron" romoved from my stomache area. I can live with a little extra skin on my arms and neck. but my tummy and thoghs are terrible. I hope to get them done in about a year or so.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
