I am almost at goal! Took a lot longer than I expected but I am loving this new body! Not so much for the extra skin though. I want to start researching plastic surgeons to tighten up my tummy, arms and legs. I only lost about 70 pounds but it's jiggly for sure, not hanging over or anything though - so no way will insurance cover it. Anyone have great results with an affordable surgeon? I don;t mind going to Mexico or Central America to save some money either! Thanks~!

There is also the radical option of just loving yourself the way you are.

Didnt go through all this to stop at the one yard line! God blessed me with a beautiful body that I have been covering in fat for decades. I am thrilled to be able to enjoy it's strength and beauty for the years I have left.

Was hoping this forum had a number for people who were experts on apres weight loss surgeons. I have tried to research myself but it's hard to see who's really good and specializes in this. the real self site is pretty good but nothing beats a recommendation. Thanks!

There are plenty of great post weight loss surgeons out there. In my opinion, cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap. I have researched and found Dr Fisher in San Antonio, close to where I live. I expect to spend lots on plastics. I love myself, but let's be real...who doesn't want a "normal" looking stomach and perky boobs? If you are willing to travel, check out Simone's journey to health on Facebook. She used someone in Arizona and her results are fantastic.
