Will I need Plastic Surgery?

LOL. I do the same thing sometimes, hold up my arm flab and try to see what is underneath. I'll probably get mine done at least. BUT I've always wanted to get them done at some point. Those suckers have always had some loose skin and stuff. As Jachut said, nobody outside of hollywood has a perfect body. Well, ok, maybe a few people do, but they are sort of unique. And even in Hollywood they aren't always perfect. With editing and the way they airbrush magazine covers and stuff it always just looks that way.

Personally, I kind of want my rate of weight loss to slow down. For one I am losing a pound a day (well more this past week cause I'm on liquids waiting for another surgery). Its freaking me out! And also because I am noticing some looseness and stuff in places where there wasn't that before. Thats cause I had fat there before. I think that slower loss sometimes helps with elasticsticy. Or so I hear. My mum lost about 120 pounds a few years ago and she is 35 years older than me. She doesn't have much loose skin, but she says she does have some on her upper arms and abdomen. I got a glimpse of her arms once and they really weren't that bad either. Normally she is really self conscious about that though. She always has been even before they had any loose skin. Just her thinking they looked bad when they didn't. But I am hoping that if she didn't get much loose skin-- and she doesn't really exercise either, but she does garden, than I won't. She lost the weight nice and slow too and she thinks that helped her. While I can think about getting tons of plastic surgery now just fine I suspect when the time comes I will be wimpier.

do you mean you can't look at Chickie's journal link? I think it's some issue with LBT right now...

I can get in to my journal... That is odd.

Works for me now, too!

I plan on getting a boob job, but I'll probably do it BEFORE my goal weight. Back when I was my goal weight, they were still too big and too saggy and now is when I can take time off for surgery. I have a consultation scheduled for next month and he very well may say "Forget it - come back in X pounds" but I'm at least going to ask

I would imagine step 1 would be to lose the weight, then step 2 would be to determine if she / he needs further surgery.

Not 100% of people who have WLS (of any type) need surgery. Some people have amazing skin and simply never need plastics.

I just wanted to say how beautiful you look! You are an inspiration to me. Could you share with us what really helped you along the way? I look foward to in a year a two being able to return to the soccer I used to love to play before gaining all the weight!
