Topic: RE: If you had a choice to get plastics????
Good question Jeannie! Man though - I can only pick on? How the choices.... I am going to do the breast reduction/lift. So that's an automatic. I am only 30 years onld and I have the breasts of an 80 year old woman. I haven't even had kids and breastfed! They sag to my stomache! If I had a second choice - it would definitely be my thighs - or maybe a lower trunk lift to get the thighs, rear end & tummy all at once. My grandmother thinks I am too vain & should just be happy I have lost the weight. I think that since I have lost the weight - -why can't I be happier with the results of the weight loss? I'm interested in reading more responses... Barbie 281/195/170ish

Wow! That's a tough one... I'm not sure whether I would opt for my tummy or my thighs. Somehow I wound up with 2 tummies, I need to get rid of one (go figure, I get WLS to get RID of my belly, and I wind up with TWO after losing weight). Now, I'd also be inclined to pick my thighs... Remember the children's book 'The Camel with the Wrinkled Knees'? I'm the chick with the wrinkled thighs. ~Kathie

If i could only do one thing it would be a tummy tuck. So my clothes would fit better. i think i could feel more confident without the excess. If i could have an extreme makeover i would have arm, leg and tummy tucks and breast lift. have a good one. michelle

Topic: If you had a choice to get plastics????
Hi there Jan.2004 WLS friends, If you had a choice to get plastic surgery on just one part of your body, what would it be and why????? I think the first thing on my list would be my arms, Lord I could fly with these bat wings....I could wear short sleeve tops without feeling gross about how my arms are waving like the American Flag....

Topic: RE: Am I Just Making Excuses???
Hi Harriet, My god girl, I am so sorry~May the comfort of friends and family be with you in your time of need. Maybe you should see a professional, just to talk to, or just keep writing on this message board and we will listen! Im sure your Mother is proud of you, she is looking down at you, although it is such a great loss to you and your family, there is no more pain for her, that she may have endured while being ill. She will be with you always, the pain will subside in time, You will never forget her and she will never forget you..... God Bless Jeannie

Topic: RE: How much should I eat?
Hi Susan, I must be doing something wrong, I have only lost 75 lbs, my surgery was same day as yours. I must be eating the wrong stuff. I eat lots of meat, have cheated and have eaten pasta, now im starting to get back in the groove, and Im going to just eat protein & water. ~~~~Buy the way you are doing great~~~~ Jeannie

Dear Harriet, I'm so sorry for your loss....I too wish my parents were here to see that my decades long weight issues are starting to turn around. Allow yourself time to grieve. It's good that you recognize your emotional/stress eating, but don't be too hard on yourself. spend time with friends and keep busy. Remeber to drink your water, as that will fill you up a bit. Take care, email me if you need a shoulder...~Hugs~Jerrie
