Anyone have plastics and STILL not happy with their body?

I have to say that the skin bothers me way more than I ever expected. I am extremely self concious. Especially with my arms. They are the WORSE! & I hate it!!!! HOWEVER, I am down 153 lbs, healthier, more outgoing, feeling so much better. So as much as the skin drives me crazy I wouldnt change a thing!!!

Sorry, I lost the post.  Someone asked "Who complained?" - this is the blog I was reading.  I also read the comments people left for her and it made me start thinking on the issue...

 This is a really common question.  I have two walls of floor to ceiling mirrors in my bedroom.  I spent years avoiding the mirrors because they brought up my self hatred for my body.

When I decided to have the Sleeve surgery, it was because I was 59 at the time and come from a family with heart disease, stroke, dialysis etc. I did not want to follow in my parents footsteps. I wanted to be vibrant and alive. I have a 38 year old son that I love to play with. I wasn't so much fun morbidly obese.  I figured it was a fair trade off for the skin issue.  It's not like I was jumping to shed my clothes when I was 249.8, so I didn't figure it could be that much worse.  I shed my weight slowly so I got to make friends with my new body.  Before year one post op ended I was looking in the mirror daily and proclaiming self love, even when I thought yuck. It's about how we view it.

Last December, at 61, I was fortunate that I got to have plastics. I refinanced and used remodel money on myself instead of my home.  I went to Dr. Sauceda in Mexico. He promised me improvement, not perfection. I got what he promised. I'll strip for almost anyone now to show off his handiwork, flaws and all. I was overweight from age 7 to recently. The skin does not forget.  I had all of my surgery at once and would do it again tomorrow.  

Just be realistic about where you are today.  Shedding the fat suit has got to be better than wearing it. We get to take responsibility for what we've done to ourselves.

I had a tummy tuck when I was still obese.  I know that we have to be realistic.  It was the best thing I ever did.  Still looks good after having a baby and gaining back so much weight.  I'm not looking to be a swimsuit model.  I am just wondering if sometimes we get so saggy that no amount of plastics can help.  I dont' mind scars (heck im full of scars).  I don't mind the stretch marks either.  I just hope that when it's all said and done I can get some pretty decent results as far as the sags go.  I looked at some before and afters of WLS patients and for some of them, the plastics did not seem to make much of an improvement.  For others it was like night and day.  Funny thing is that the ones who were bigger and had more skin to remove looked like they had better results than others who may have been lightweights.  I'm not sure.  I looked at plastic surgeon websites and a few profiles here.

Just thinking ahead.  I would love to just get a date for my sleeve right now!
