Get plastic surgery (read all 4 entries…)
I did it!!

Well, it’s two weeks today since I’ve had the big surgery. Surgery was very extensive at 8.5 hours long. It’s going to be a long and tough recovery. I’m still pretty swollen and numb, but that’s to be expected.

They removed 9 pounds of excess skin from my body. This was after the augmentations! I can’t wait to heal and for the swelling to subside so that I can go shopping for my brand-new, sexier body.

This was the biggest, most expensive, and most painful thing I have ever done for myself. I still can’t believe it happened. And I don’t regret it, even for a moment.

I have to ask...

If you don’t mind… I’m looking down the barrel of losing 150 pounds in the next year. I’m 23, and am TERRIFIED of the skin issue. How much did your surgury cost? Did the doctors tell you that it was the only option, I’ve heard that you can somtimes excersise it tight again, is that not true? I’m so scared, I almost makes me scared to lose…help if you can.
And congrats… you should do before and after pics!

Unfortunately, if you’re looking at losing as much weight as I have lost then loose skin is inevitable. I worked out the entire time during my weight loss, and it really didn’t help. I also used skin-firming lotion religiously. I’ve heard similar stories from other people who’ve lost weight (Loose skin was there after weight loss no matter what). Surgery was my only option.

I had a lot done and stayed in the hospital four days, so my surgery was very expensive. It was over 21 grand. And I STILL have to get my thighs done. That ain’t happening anytime soon, though. I need a break!
