Plastic Surgery?



Recommended Posts

Everyone loves to tell me that since I'm still young, I won't need plastic surgery when I'm done losing weight. Not so sure about that. I see guys who now weigh more than I do, but look better. I still look like I have a little gut, even though my BMI is no longer obese. I'm trying firming creams and wraps soon, but just curious if anyone else around our age had to have an abdominoplasty or liposuction. Here are my stats: 28 5'11 HW 347 SW 317 CW

I am 28 my arms firmed up a bit, but the tummy was a no go even after creams and wraps. I had to have a Tummy Tuck and I feel it was so worth it! :)

@@CRNA

hey dude

you look amazing :rolleyes:

creams and wraps didn't help me

but we're all different

i can't tell how your tummy is in real life

do you have a lot of extra skin "in there" (your middle)

same with other areas

hard for me (and probably OP to be able to tell) from a pic

PS is a very personal decision

don't do anything in haste

(or because someone says to do or not to do)

YOUR body and YOUR decision!!

success/goal

look at you now!!!

woo hoo

party dance

maintenance - good luck with that ;)

tummy tuck - was so worth it! :)

@@Katnroyal

you look great too!!!

when you are a youngun ;)

20's - your body has more elasticity

therefore it usually firms up better/more

than an old fart of 62!! (me!!)

it took awhile - few month to a year

but my "disappeared" rear end skin did firm up a "bit"

enough for me to notice (not hubby til i pointed it out LOL)

your before and after pics!!!

holy moly kiddo

you look great!!!

      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.
