I am looking into plastics. I noticed how results are so different for each person. Another unknown outcome after weight loss. Trying to decide on procedures and looking into out of pocket cost.

So excited for you to research this and can't wait to follow your journey!!

also, make sure you're looking at lower body lifts on people who've had massive weight loss. Results may be different than those where it's just a simple tummy tuck (like someone who's just a bit stretched out from having children). Although even among massive weight loss patients, plastic surgery results can vary...

Oh yes, I am more than a little stretched from giving birth. *smile* I'm a shar pei puppy

I’m glad people have shared their photos. It’s giving me a better idea of what to expect. Once I go in for a consult, I will have a better idea of what needs to be done.

Thank you for the links, @Healthy_life2! It was really interesting to scroll through the pictures to find someone who looks like I do right now and see where plastics could take me!

I had consults with 2 PS in my area. One was recommended by the doc that did my sleeve. Keep us posted!!

HW = 360
SW = 292
GW = 220 reached 3/7/18
CW = 210 @ 6'5"
150 pounds lost! [emoji106]

Following!!! I keep wavering on whether or not I need to have plastics and how much i need

I have my consult on Friday!!

Going to move forward with tummy tuck and arm lift and "side boob". Also having him scope out my inner thighs to see what can be done there.

Judging by the current state of my arms, plastics will probably come into play for me. I’ll be watching your thread closely. Best of luck and excellent job on the weight loss!

Good luck!!! It's another wild journey - I'm going in for round 2 in less than 2 months!

I decided to split my body lift up, so I'll see if I'm glad I did afterwards. If you have any questions about the process or anything I'm here!
