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

    • Two words: hell no.
      3
    • 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.
      11
    • 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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
