  1. 1. Will you have plastic surgery after you've lost the weight?

    • Two words: hell no.

    • I won't say never, but I seriously doubt it.
      32
    • I'd only consider it if the excess skin etc. causes other medical issues down the road.

    • I probably will if I feel the need and can afford to pay for it.
      120
    • I'm definitely going to have a tummy tuck or something lifted/tightened.
      128
    • Not only am I going to do it, I'm getting everything done. Tummy, lipo, butt, chest, upper arms, chin.

I am going to go for the full monty. I have a BADLY sagging belly. I forget what it is called, but I don't see anyway that is going to absorb back the way it is supposed to. And my butt is HUGE so I am sure there will need to be lifted. My legs aren't too bad in the lower half, but my thighs will prolly need to be lifted when the tummy and butt is. And my arms will need to be done I am sure, but they aren't as bad as the tummy. I had a breast reduction about 9 years ago, and they have lost some of their perkiness after the kids were born, so I will prolly have them lifted, and maybe made slightly bigger. Depends on how much volume I lose. My face should be fine. No need for a chin lift I don't think.

I never thought I would but I want to get a TT. That would be enough for me, I will never get my breasts done no matter how they look because I have had enough surgery on my body and it changes the sensation and feeling of the area. I guess I never want how they feel to change. I can never figure why people never talk about this aspect. Yes I know some newer procedures are susposto keep this intact better but again I am not willing to take the chance with my breasts JMHO. Trish

i have an appointment to have a first consult for a breast reduction...my boobs have never been firm (even when i was thinner) ....my sis had it done and the downside is that for her at least, she lost all sensation in her nipples...that is a downer!!!

i would also have a Tummy Tuck and whatever else i could afford!!!!

I think going under the knife is a wonderful thing. lol!

IF my tummy skin bothers me a lot, I will get a TT, but if it is something I can live with, I can forgo it.

I am not going to join a nudist colony, I am not going to be a bikini model, so if it can be hidden under a good pair of elastic underwear, I will probably forget about it.

I am already saving for a Tummy Tuck and to have the girls lifted. I want to be a hot babe by Christmas 2007.

I'm considering a breast lift if I can't get them into place via exercise. I don't think I'll need a Tummy Tuck as it all seems to be going back into place pretty well so far.

When I started this journey. I truely believed that the weight loss alone would be very satisfying and enough. But As I get closer to goal, I am having a very hard time not seeing the fat guy still. I think that I will only be truely happy when I get the "apron" romoved from my stomache area. I can live with a little extra skin on my arms and neck. but my tummy and thoghs are terrible. I hope to get them done in about a year or so.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
