Ainsleet 67 Posted July 10, 2013 Greetings everyone's it's been a long time but work has been crazy. Wanted to check-in with y'all. Nov 9 I had surgery and from that day to now I'm down 170 LBs I'm feeling amazing. Holy Mackerel, who is that guy? Congratulations. How is your woman handling the new you? Is she OK when women flirt with you? Ainslee 1 carstanger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ainsleet 67 Posted July 10, 2013 I don't know what I'm going to do about boobs deflated and tummy! I'm 66 and will be 67 before the surgeon recommends going ahead with plastic surgery. Do I really care at that point?? Will see what I look like then and decide. I am 62 and I definately care. I too wanted the loss for health reasons. But, I am loving the way I look with clothes on and want to look good with them off. I haven't had sex in about 12 years and really want to feel I can take my clothes off. I won't wear shorts or skirts. Not so much from the skin but because of the V. Veins. My boobs are good, they were a DD now they are a D but he stomach and my arms. OMG the arms are unreal, I can't wear anything sleeveless without being so self conscious. I met a woman at my WL support group who did her stomach, and her back above her bra and did her arms from there. So no huge scar. He also added to her butt. He is from Mexico so I can give you the info if anyone wants it. He did her friend also and apparently you can have a consultation over Skype. She said she got 3 quotes her in SF and Mexico was about 70% less. I may get approved for the stomach because I have other issues because of it. I have Meralgia Paresthetica. Then I can go to Mexico for the arms and (?). How about neck? Mine looks like a chicken. awful. 1 carstanger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
