Did you end up having the plastics yet?

No. I chickened out, lol.

I had a loan ready to go and everything for a panniculectomy and implants with a lift. I'm just not up for another surgery and the lengthy recovery at this time. I may change my mind later, who knows. If I were 20 or even 10 years younger, I probably would have done it in a heartbeat, but being almost 50 and married for almost 28 years, I can live with it for now ;)

Completely get that Babbs! I'm still not certain I want to go thru all of that either. Perhaps something to be said about being comfortable in our own skin.? Owning your sexiness?

Not that having the surgery is wrong, either! Such a personal decision. I may still do part of it! For me- it's the scars on my breasts that are the biggest deterrent.

Such is life. We all know what we can-cannot live with--- or without.

Thanks guys!

I've had my entire body contoured and the scars on the breast are the very lightest of all... really they are not noticeable. As for getting implants because you won't get cancer??? You might want to Google this to read about women whom have had explants because their implants made them very ill... and I am not just talking about the old silicon implants of yesterday... even saline implants have caused women to get seriously ill.

Thank you for the comments! I truly appreciate it. Actually, without having had the BRC-A test, most doctors won't do the removal. It was more my flippant/dry conversation here

Nice to hear from so many that their scars were the least of it.

I had a lift with no implant and all is well. The scarring has lightened over the years. I very seldom wear a bra. 3 years out and still perky

      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!!
