Your reasoning is sound and logical. You have done the research. At some point we make the decision Gallery pictures look good. Plus a strong communication with doctor is a plus! 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Gosh I LOVE it!! Great report! And I love that he can do it all at the same time! Why not go for a brachioplasty at the same time since it's less money? :) Then you can get the arms you want at the same time? :D (Psssst, is it Dr. Now? :) )

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

@FluffyChix I've decided against doing an arm lift at this point. They just don't bother me enough to be worth the scar, and additional recovery time. I figure as I age they will get worse, so maybe I'll reconsider in 10 years or so.

monsplasty

I had been wondering about this. It seems to often be done with lower abdomen? Is that correct.

I know it sounds maybe stupid...but I was horrifically dismayed when I realized on this forum that the excess weight in this specific area was 'not going to go away'. I'm unsure why I thought it would be different...but I was and still am fairly upset as I was hoping I would not need plastics for that.

Even though as of this week, I weigh less than I've weighed in a decade, I'm not comfortable being..physical with my husband...despite the weight loss...because, well let's be real if you were as large as me or maybe wherever you are at...all the saggy skin...just not attractive on me. I'm so particularly embarrassed about this area specifically.

yes - it's typically done as part of a lower body lift.

Well if by a Miracle I can get P,S. and they want to do a Mons- Revitalization, it'll be okay if they clip or shave Down Below, I never WAS Abundently Furred, You See Redheads have the least hair per square inch on their body, and I HAD to follow the rule!

From all my reading I've done, it seems like for the most part the mons is pulled tight and reduced as a natural part of the lower body lift or Tummy Tuck. As all your skin is pulled upward, so is your mons. Some surgeons will do Lipo on the mons too, if needed.

As a side note, it's really a shame that you are so uncomfortable with your body that you're not able to relax and be intimate with your husband, We are way harder on ourselves then anyone else would be, especially your partner (if not that's a whole nother issue!). The fact is sex feels amazing, and physical intimacy creates strong bonds, you really shouldn't deny yourself that! :)

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
