ok. I'm 10 months out and have lost 105 pounds. (only 10 pounds to goal.) I want to have cosmetic surgery at around the one year point, maybe 15 month.
I'm 55, so no spring chicken, nothing is going to make me look like when I was young, would just like to look and feel firmer.
My problem areas are:
thighs -oh my gosh, they look like elephant legs
belly -not as bad as I thought it would be
breasts -were sagging lots before, now not much tissue left at all
arms -looks like the skin is separating the lower fat from the upper part of the arm , from the elbow to the armpit, I guess they call it bat wings (part of this is obviously age)
I would like to hear from all of you who've had the cosmetic surgery, especially the older generation. Was it worth the pain? Is the outcome satisfying? to what degree. Are the scars on the thighs and upper arms so bad that the way they were is better?
Thanks,, thanks so much for all your input.
I think my age is my biggest concern. If I were 30, 40, even 45, I wouldn't even think twice, I'd just do it!
ps. any dallas metro area?
