Panda333 276 Posted April 19, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm still preop and aged 48, I'm being optimistic that I will lose the weight and am interested in having an arm lift, breast lift, and anything else I need lifted, lol. I've seen people say why bother over age 40 you are too old no need at that ;point in your life. Yes, I will be 49 and pushing 50 and I'm not trying to be a sex symbol but I it's something I want. Am I being vain? I know my younger years are behind me. 3 2 logicwand, ProudGrammy, amithistrose and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted April 19, 2019 Your Younger Years are not behind you, imagine if I showed up at 73, after they finished rolling on the floor they would remind me Lourdes is in France and far far from Central Ohio. Besides as stretched out as my skin probably is, I would need seat belt retractors on my arms and inner thighs. Everybody mentions Bat Wings, what about Harem Pants thighs, that's skin not voluminous chiffon and sequins below .my hips. While everybody else fears a strong wind will take them airborne, well my former Thunder Thighs will be clapping a fond farewell as they sail over! 2 1 Losingit2018, Panda333 and ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SusieQ2019 567 Posted April 19, 2019 I am 49 and in my opinion age is just a number. If you want to nip and tuck after your surgery go right ahead. I am considering plastic for my stomach if I end up with a lot of excess skin. Don't apologize because you want to improve on your appearance. You are as young as you feel. 11 Healthy_life2, nanaT, Kathywithakay1 and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bari_KS 499 Posted April 19, 2019 It is never too old to be healthy, active and happy. I was 62 when i had VSG last November. My mentality of being too old changed very quickly as i started to loose weight. I'm 63 now and wear size 8 destructed jeans! And i feel GOOD! 6 2 amithistrose, Serengirl, Panda333 and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diana_in_Philly 1,426 Posted April 19, 2019 I was 55 when I had my VSG. I'm now 57. I've lost about 150 and am a nationally ranked athlete in my sport. I haven't had plastics yet, but I have met with a surgeon and am planning to have a panni with Tummy Tuck (which my insurance will cover) and breast reduction/lift (the reduction will be covered as well). I'd love to have my arms done, but I'm a bit scared of the recovery time on it and the impact on my sport. I'm trying to figure out when to do stuff because having it done will require some time off work and I still have one kid in college and one on the way there. 8 rs, KarenLR75, ProudGrammy and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheRealMeIsHere! 863 Posted April 20, 2019 I was almost 48, when I had my sleeve. Lost all in about 9 months. Had a TT/Panni a year later & have maintained ever since. Age is only a number. Now, I'm 54 and am happier, more confident, energetic & feel better than I did when I was younger........and obese! 4 1 logicwand, Panda333, amithistrose and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Considering my grandmother is 93 and still going strong, it’s likely I’m not even middle age yet. 6 DaisyChainOz, ProudGrammy, Strivingforbetter and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parisshel 1,892 Posted April 29, 2019 Do what makes you feel fierce, strong and happy. I had my lapband placed when I was 54. Next Tuesday I'm getting a Tummy Tuck. I just turned 60. Is that too late? Who cares? I want to live the rest of my life in a body that makes me feel good and healthy. I cannot wait to have a flat, toned tummy. 4 1 DaisyChainOz, Strivingforbetter, Frustr8 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
