Ouch this looks too painful for me. Good luck you look great.

Thanks so much for sharing your pic Kirsten....you give me hope :-) (pardon the pun) hehe You look fantastic. I';m so happy foy you :-) I'm definitely going to fight to have mine redone. @ shady 2121 this surgery is extremely painful but is a walk in the park compared to the emotional pain associated with having loose skin and flab. I actually had liposuction to my arms before the surgery (different doctor) and I couldn't afford the extra $1500.00 for an anaesthetic so I felt the rod get shoved into the cuts they made in my skin and I felt them move it up and down while they inserted the fluid. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever experienced! I am going back to have the same procedure again in a different area of my arms and I know exactly what I'm in for. People really don't understand how debilitating it is to feel this bad nor do they have any idea of the emotional agony we endure - some more than others. Maybe the fact that we are willing to go though such physical agony in order to heal the emotional trauma can put some perspective on that. If I had to go through that pain every day off my life just to feel better about myself I wouldn't hesitate for a second! That may seem extreme to some people but personally I would trade physical pain for emotional pain anyday! Those who experience mental illness and depression will understand where I'm coming from. Wouldn't wish this upon anyone.
