Should I get pregnant before or after plastics



Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm down 50 pounds and starting to sag according to my doctor. I've got 40 more pounds to go. My biological clock is also ticking. Should I get plastics or baby first? I really don't know what to think. I'd appreciate advice

Should I get pregnant before or after plastics

@@mercy96

I have seen discussion on the board "when should people have plastics"

some choose to have it done right after surgery

many docs tell people to wait at least a year after goal before plastics

the reason for the latter is that your body usually firms up a "little"

for me my "disappearing" tushy/hanging skin - did tighten up a bit

would try for that wonderful baby first

remember, practice makes perfect ^_^

you've lost 50 lbs :)

keep up the good work

kathy

congrats

Totally the baby first. When I went in for my consult the doctor asked me if I planned to get pregnant soon, and I said, no, but why do you ask? He said that medically there was no reason, but I just wouldn't get to enjoy my results for as long. Get the babies out of the way, save that plastics money, and then when you're done having kids go for the nip/tuck and you will get to enjoy your results the rest of your life.

This is a topic I've been thinking about a lot myself lately. I'm almost a year out now and down 100lbs, I've just started to research plastics and their cost/the doctors I may be interested in. I currently have no significant other but do want kids at some point. when I find someone I dont want to jump right into baby making (thought the "practice" will be fun ;3 ) so I figure that I'm at least a min of 2 years out from having a baby. that will make it three years that I would get to live with the skin sack... :/

Are there any ladies here on the board that have had children post plastics willing to talk about their experience? did your body go back with the healthy eating and exercise or did you have a revision to your plastics?

      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!

      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!!
