A little history on me.....

I have lost 38 lbs & want to lose 50-55 more. So, in total I'll lose about 90 ish. Plus I have had 3 babies & my belly really got BIG. Anyway, as I lose I can already see the skin wrinkling & sagging :tt2:. I'm so mad at myself for letting myself get so big over the years that I ruined my body. My skin will never go back. So, after I lose all this weight I'll have that to deal w/. It really sucks! There's no way I can affford a TT. CAn any one suggest a good surgen in Boston area? What is a round about cost for TT? Thank you!

Back on another thread someone suggested google-ing "Average cost of Plastic Surgery". That kept me entertained/dreaming for hours. TT's are not cheap when all is said and done. Best of Luck.

Heidi,

I've also felt a little of that, but what's done is done. I just try to be happy with the weight lost and keep saving!

Hi Heidi, :thumbup:

Sorry you are bumming! Maybe you just need to give yourself more time for everything to come together?

I am from the Boston area, and I find the further "North" you go, the prices are cheaper.

I had a breast reduction by Dr. Dina Eliopoulous in Chelmsford, MA. She is wonderful and runs a great practice. I can't say enough good things about her. She has a web site. She is also georgeos, so it made me feel kinda reassured that she would make me look all purdy! lol.

If you want more information feel free to PM me.

Good luck Heidi.

PS: You are already beautiful! You are going to rule!

Your post struck a chord with me. Some days I could just cry that in 45 years, I just ruined one good body.

But on my good days, I am thankful everything works, my body is healthy and beautiful. I have a wonderful husband and 3 beautiful kids.

Again on bad days, I feel like I only look good in clothes. I have horrible stretch marks from childbirth X 3. I would like a TT and may get one one day, but for now, I thank the band for not being obese.

BTW, I have been at goal for over a year now and feel fabulous despite the sagging skin. AND I think we are so hard on ourselves. My dh could care less about my sagging this or wrinkling that. He just loves me.

Thanks for all the info everyone. I feel ok. I looked into my insurance coverage & I think they may pay for a TT eventually. I'm just gonna concentrate on my weightloss for now & keep my head up.
