Reconstructive Surgery Bummer

Went to my support group meeting last night and the guest speaker was a plastic surgeon. I feel so discouraged right now. I've been overweight since I was 10...I'm 54...needless to say the hanging skin is horrible.

With about $50,000 I can have everything done. It might as well be $500,000. How do you choose what to have done when it all bothers you. I guess I will just never wear a bathing suit again...the thighs and arms gross me out...the stomach hangs...the back hangs...the butt is non-existent...the breasts getting kind of empty.

Oh but I FEEL better. Sorry, just had to vent. If you've got an extra few thousand laying around, send it over...lol

My hubby will love me anyway...I hope

It really looks like the first Dr I went to is way to expensive. Congrats on you success and on your TT and breast Aug. Im sure you are feeling great.

Well I went to the Dr this morning. I really liked him a lot. He took a lot of time to talk to me and answer all my questions. It was great until we got to the price. After all is said and done it will cost about $8,000. OH MY GOSH! They are having to remove a lot of excess skin and give me a lift so that is why it is more. I am going to work my but off to come up with the money. I hope to have it done in March on Spring Break. That way my son is out of school and it will be easier. He also said I should wait until my 3 year old is bigger to have mystomach done because the recovery is hard and I will have to take it easy for a long time. So I am putting off thinking about that for now.
