No, I'm not talking about exercises. . . and first, let me say that I never imagined I would read, much less post, anything on the plastic surgery forum, but recently my thighs have gotten, well, saggy. Some of it's just plain age, which I can deal with (not planning on launching a career as an underwear model) but some of it is from weight loss. Not to be graphic, but we're talking both inner and outer. Anyone know if there's an easy operation to get rid of saggy leg skin -- kind of like a Tummy Tuck for thighs?

It can be done! When I go for surgery, I am planning to ask about the tummy tucks Dr Kuri's plasstic surgeon does...he makes the incision in such a way that some of the inner thigh skin is lifted. I can tell already I will need at least this done. But there are "thigh lifts" available. Anyone here had one? I think with the outer thigh, you have to get a full body lift, which is basically a Tummy Tuck that goes all the way around, they take out a swath of skin and raise and lower the two sides so you are lifted and tightened all around.

I'm interested in what else gets posted here...Whatever it is, I feel certain it's not easy though. Or cheap.

Ouch. . . I think maybe I'll live with the saggy legs. I'm too old for miniskirts anyway!

No minis here either! I do want the inner thigh baggies to be gone in a good pair of size 12 pants or shorts. Those extra bulges...eewww. Getting out of a size 22/24 will seriously help! I'll post what I find out about that Tummy Tuck procedure...sounds interesting!

Thanks, Kathy -- and if you could use some 22/24 clothes, please let me know, not that you'll need them for long, with your banding just a couple weeks away.

      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.
