Well to make a long story short I have been given the opportunity to have plastic surgery done on my mid section. It will be at no out of pocket cost to me but I am just not sure if I want to do it or not.

feed back welcome

DO IT!!! if its no out of pocket costs? You got this far, why not just finish the job!

@@Waler Why are you reluctant to do it? Do you need surgery - or are you happy with things the way they are?? Is it free because it's in a back alley somewhere?? lol If it's a reputable plastic surgeon - I would say go for it (I'm pretty sure I would).

How far are you out from surgery? Are you at goal? Below goal? More to go?

I've been told no plastics till at least 18 months PO.

I'm tempted to believe me..but to go through surgery now with more to lose wouldn't be a wise choice.

If you're at goal and are maintaining for a period of time..go for it.

Well I am over a year out. as far as my goals I have exceeded them. I bounce around but stay right between 197 and 202

The surgery would be done by a reputable surgeon in a large hospital. I don`t know maybe it is a guy thing.

I vote you do it. Yes, the pain and recovery for a panniculectomy or tummy tuck can be very trying, but it is so worth it in the end. I am 5 years out from my extended tummy tuck and I am grateful every single day that I had it done. I had a particularly rough recovery, but that is all a distant memory now!

plastic surgery done on mid section. no out of pocket cost to me not sure if I want to do it or not.

hey dude

no money, no tummy, no brainer LOL

did you lose your mind along with those 147 lbs???

only teasing!!!

i would run to the OR!!!!

are you afraid to have PS?

worried about pain etc

if you are, you wouldn't be the first or last to have those thoughts

after PS checks you out, if he sees no problem with PS now - go for it

if he says you must wait a few months, that's ok too

i'd bite the bullet and have that tummy tuck yesterday

you'll look "HOT" on the beach too

good job

good luck

kathy
