Typo

It was bad enough I was as Big as a Dragon, but now I have a neck like a flippin' turtle, not desirous of being an reptile unless I can be pretty like a Coral Snake or as fearsome as an Gila Monster, they're poisonous, Nobody messes with THEM!
I've only made it down to a 18-20 but starting with 28-30W that is COOL at this point. And I may still whittle down to my 175 Goal!

I hear ya. Mine neck ain't so great either ?.

Are you considering any plastics? A lift?

I am so psyched to have my cosmetic stuff done. I feel this way about my arms. I can't bear to see them in the mirror.

Im getting an Arm Lift in August (this has, and always been my first priority). Am contemplating getting a Tummy Tuck at the same time.

I can live with the lines in my neck. And "un-firm" inner thighs. And non-existant butt.

Yeah bat wings and flying squirrel thighs, I am becoming a real zoo with my turtle neck and basset hound cheeks. But ya know, 111 pounds lost since surgery , just call me the Zookeeper!

I’ll wait to see what it all looks like in a year .. when I get to maintenance and I see what exercise can do.. and my motto is "if ya can’t tone it , tan it”.. spray tan that is?

When I get to maintenance I’ll decide.. I want my teeth fixed as well.. my surgery wish list is looooong!

LOL, I've heard this one before...going on an island vacay a couple weeks before scheduled arm lift this summer...if only a few days in the sun would save me from the cost of plastics...i would happily go on vacay all year long

I am PRAYING my plastic surgeon lets me do my tummy and arms at the same time. Not sure if he will allow it. I have a consult in August. My arms are definitely the priority, though.

Eyes

Boobs

Stomach

Arms

In that order. I hope. The first 2 are for sure!

I don't have that "waddle" anymore now that I've lost some weight and I use firming lotion on it every night so that hopefully I won't get the wrinkly sharpei neck. I guess I'll wear scarves or turtlenecks if it bothers me. ?

I've seen 3 surgeons and all three were down with doing both at the same time. Two of them said I would need an overnight stay at the hospital, while the third said he could do it outpatient. I chose one of the pro-hospital-stay guys.

I'm re-thinking my surgery date though, I have a wedding to go to in September, and I think I may push it to after the wedding in case I need more time to heal....

I’ve recently started RF tightening treatments (Thermalift is one of the ‘name brands’) on my neck and face. I’ve had two treatments and I haven’t noticed a difference, but three is usually considered the minimum and 10-12 is the norm.

I was excited by before and after pics online. But last treatment my technician was excited to show me another patient she considers a huge success. The difference was much more subtle than I had hoped!

I’ll continue to go for the 10 treatments at least. At least it’s far more affordable than plastics!

Before and after pics, lol? Not necessarily your face (I stay clear of facial posts myself), but maybe an non-identifying snap of the neck area?
