Loose Skin Surgery

Is anyone thinking of having it done or had it done? I'm pretty sure I'll be off for a full-body lift when I'm at target. Presently I looked like I've been melted in the middle . I think my stomach on it's own weighs about 2 stone. :(

I'm definitely expecting to follow this path although I think I'm going to wait for a while I'm in an odd situation as I don't really know what my goal weight is yet although I don't think it's too far away, that said I think I'm going to hit the gym hard for a few months and tone as much as I can before I go for it

Will you go abroad or have it done over here?

Probably have it done over here to be honest, the cost is obscene but it feels like quite a big procedure to embark on without the safety net of being at home. I have chatted to my husband about the possibility of heading to Europe but I'm not entirely comfortable with the idea so it's pretty unlikely to go that way. Have you considered travelling for the surgery?

I'll definitely be going abroad. I'd rather save the extra cash and go on a spending spree when done. I saved £4.5k on my sleeve alone which will go some way to paying for the skin surgery.

After seeing how well everything went for my sleeve, I have no hesitation. I discussed it with my GP and she said she has no hesitation in supporting me after surgery abroad and that they are more strictly regulated over there than here.

Thanks for that, I self funded here and it certainly wasn't the cheapest option but it was a conscious choice but you've offered me some other options to reconsider because I have quite an extensive schedule of work on my wish list (I can't call it entirely a need list in clear conscience) and any reduction in cost will make it significantly more achievable

The only stipulation I would make is that I would make sure I stayed in the clinic for healing, not sent to some hotel to fend for myself malarkey. I like the idea of pressing a button and someone appears with a tablet to make me sleep through any uncomfortable times. I do not want to traipse through a hotel lobby looking like an unfinished project from Frankenstein's lab.

I have met with my surgeon already (who is fab) and now just waiting for a date. Its a little tight for this year as I can't take time off work in December, so I am looking at January. Unless he has cancellations of course and I can go asap!

I don't want to go abroad, just the travelling back puts me off. I am having a full tummy tuck, breast uplift and lower/upper eyes done. In six months or so I am looking towards having a thigh lift.

Bring on the morphine !! :P;)
