My first consultation is tomorrow morning!

It's my first consult with the plastic surgeon my bariatric surgeon has recommended. I am nervous and a little excited!

I was initially unsure that I really needed this surgery, but lately I am 100% certain I want to do this. I hate that despite losing over 80% of my excess weight, and being only 10lbs from goal, I still look big in the belly area due to all the excess skin. You can see my ribs when I'm naked, but the bottom half of body looks like it's a horrible melted mess!

Plus in hot weather, I develop angry, sore welts in between the folds.

The only thing I worry about is that he'll want me to be stable for longer before he'll do the surgery. I don't really want to wait to get this overhang off! I guess I'll find out soon enough though if, and when, I'll be able to have surgery.

lellow,

Congrats on the consult and upcoming surgery. I know exactly what you mean about the middle part, I'm the same way, still researching/saving for plastic. Good luck and hope all went well!
