2.5 years out



Recommended Posts

I've been able to maintain between 134 to 139 for 1.5 years. I do have a lot of sagging skin on my inner thighs afraid to wear really short, shorts or a bathing suit because its visible. Received a quote for plastics in Mexico for a thigh lift for 2500 not a bad price. Anyone suffering from this and what's working for you?

My inner thighs are awful. i lost 157 since being sleeved... closer to 180 from my lifttime high weight so i guess I have skin for more then two people. Good news for me is that my calves and outer thighs are pretty okay.. but those inner thighs are horrid. i can wear longer shorts, I can even wear skirts above my knees without nylons. If I wear stockings/tights/nylons I can even wear short skirts.

As far as I know, plastics is the only solution to this problem. The thing to know is that inner thigh lifts are a bit painful and the results aren't as "solid" as torso surgeries like tummy tucks - meaning more problems with wound separation etc. It is potentially also a very visible scar.. but... I think worth it. My thighs are firm and well muscled... covered by crepy ugly skin that's gotta go!

Congrats to you for losing and maintaining so well! You must feel just great about that.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
