Can't decide if I should hug my hubby or kick him. . .
Hug him. Sounds like you have great support with him. I lost 88 pounds almost 3 years ago. I said I would never do plastics - BUT guess what - last April I had a tummy tuck and it was the best decision(except VGS) I ever made. I love my flat stomach. I have gain about 12 or so pounds and am now trying to get it off. You will always have to be accountable for your weight. Go hear what the dr. has to say. Good luck.
When I started this whole process I was totally against any additional surgery, as far as plastics went. Well, after losing over 120 pounds and still having a bit to go, I have realized, that it is more than just about the cosmetic part. The lose skin gets in the way. I am sure it will get way worse for me as I get closer to goal too. So, I will be open to it and at least look into it and weigh it out, positive vs negative. Plus, I have stretch marks and have been overweight for over 20 years and being 39, my skin is not bouncing back in all areas.
Sorry you felt hurt by his comment, but I am sure he knows you well and knows you will want to get information about it to make an informed decision, when and if, you decide to have it done. Going to the support group does not mean you are saying you are going to have the surgery, you are just going for information.
“Not many of us are living at our best. We linger in the lowlands because we are afraid to climb the mountains. The steepness and ruggedness dismay us, and so we stay in the misty valleys and do not learn the mystery of the hills. We do not know what we lose in our self indulgence. What glory awaits us if only we had the courage for the mountain climb. What blessing we should find if only we would move to the uplands of God.? JRM
I am anxious to go to the support group tomorrow because I want to hear what he has to say. My husband gets really upset when I mention plastic surgery because he doesn't want me to have any more surgeries and likes the way I look. I would love a tummy tuck but that is just vanity on my part. I am still going to listen to the surgeon tomorrow at the support group and find out about it. I say never say never....

I say hug him. He is being realistic and he knows you well. You are going to want this, so you might as well get the information you need. What I am going to do there, is another story. I have no real reason to attend since I am already "done". :) If I go it will be to support those of you still thinking about it.
lol Sounds like my husband. I vote hug him. Hubby and I are already talking about plastics for when the time comes. If not for the sagging skin, for the boobs. I always joke with him about it because I always said I would NEVER get a boob job. (Coming from a former almost E cup.) I asked him a few minutes ago if he wanted them bigger than his head. LOL He voted for a C-D. LMAO If you can't laugh, you'll end up crying.
Definitely get all of the info you can. Knowledge is power! lol
