Plastics or no plastics ?

[Marblicious 130]

I agree with shedo82773. It is so important to lose it when you are younger. I am now 53 and like everyone here have battled my weight all my life. It is harder now than it ever has been. Same with Surgery, if you are gonna do it you are gonna heal and recover better and faster when you are younger. I really really wish I had had the wls 30 years ago. I also really wish I had my G cup size boobs reduced 30 years ago. But feel whether you do decide to have plastic surgery It is your choice for what is right for you, financially, mentally, physically. I don't think any of us should be ashamed to do what makes us feel better about ourselves. For me. I am lucky my insurance will cover some of it.

I hope and pray that one day I can accept my body for what it is and for what I have done to it. I also hope and pray that everyone here can do the same. It is painful going through life feeling like a second rate citizen because we are struggling with our weight. I tell myself everyday, I am a good kind person and that is truly what I want to be. And no one should be ashamed of doing the things to make themselves feel even better.

I think I got of the track a bit but just felt I needed to say something to all you beautiful people who struggle every day.

I have lost close to 50 pounds now and don't have sagging belly skin but my boobs are sagging big time. The only reason I am not having plastics is because we can't afford it. Otherwise, I desperately need it. Very soon I I might be tripping on my boobs while I am walking. I guess I will have to look for a good bra to pack the boobs into.

Ha! Isn't it sad that boob droop isn't a good attribute to develop after weight loss? LOL. I said it yesterday...the world's an unfair place.

Guys lose a few pounds and find 4inches of extra penis surprise.

Women lose a few pounds and get hanging boobages and baggy saggy lady bits DT. *smacks head and sighs in discontent*

I'm definitely getting my breast done when I get to one year post op. I will be content after that.

[Marblicious 130]

Mine are dangling round my waist at the moment and I really hate to think what they will be like when I lose more weight. I am sure a guy would prefer to see them perky with scars than dangling round the waist lol

bahahahaha! I remember that feeling/look! I felt like I could basically roll them up like you would tube socks! *snort* I kinda "accordion folded" them into my bra like a slinky!

Now after my double mastectomy and recon, I long for my old squishy familiar breasts. My mannequin foobs (without nips) stand straight at attention, no matter the position, restraints, time of day...I could basically fly through the air on a trapeze and these babies ain't budgin' por nada! LOL. Ahhhh as Richard Marx sang, "Hold on to the night. Hold onto the mammaries!"

Yes, and I am my surgery next Monday, December 11th. I'll be undergoing panniculectomy with Add-On Abdominoplasty as well as the Gynecomastia. Nervous to say the least.

I found this Shapewear called SHAPEEZZ, it is wonderful!! But it is expensive, I like it because it has the back and under your arms hidden. It really works great. I really don't mind the price. They have it on Amazon also. I feel like it helps hide many faults. Just saying. BTW I am one of the OLDER WOMEN!!

I've met with my plastic surgeon and I'm thinking about it - When I have my clothes on, I look fine, except for my arms. The batwings are beyond amazing. And I have another 15 I'd like to lose. I exercise 5-7 hours a week, including competitive fencing so I need to schedule things so as not to screw up my competitive season.

My surgeon says that he would do Tummy Tuck and panni at the same time (which he could get covered by my insurance) and the arms would be another 2 or 4K. Then, he suggested having the girls reduced and hitched up. (At my heaviest, I was a 42J - that J like John). I'm at 36DDD right now - he think's I'd be better off as a C and look more in proportion. Right now, I'm an 8 pants, but after surgery, even if I didn't lose another pound, I'd probably be a 6.

I'm working with a personal trainer to reduce my body fat from about 34% down to about 26% - then I'll really make my decision. The survey needed a "not sure" category in answers.

Plastics definitely. The surgeries were long and painful Recovery but I run without the jiggle

[ItsJustMeToo 42]

Definitely having a breast reduction. That was actually one of my motivations to have wls. My heavy breasts are killing my back and my insurance denied me for a reduction. You have to be under 30 BMI to be considered. So it was out of pocket for best reduction, or out of pocket for wls and let them cover the reduction.

I'm saving up in case I need it ever since I first meet with my surgeon. My surgery is covered but not plastic surgery.

If I do decide to do it I will most probably do it out of the country if I find a nice office with a great rep.

I lost almost 70lbs at the moment and my skin isn't too much of an issue but I don't know how it will be after surgery. I prefer plan ahead and hey if I don't need it I will plan a nice vacation instead

[xoxococojay 842]

Oh i'm totally having plastic surgery. I eat like a rabbit lol, so by the time i'm done i need to look like a porn star. I definitely plan on getting my butt done to match my curves, not sure if i will do something about my boobs. I'm all for it!!
