Plastic Surgery ??

Mar 13, 2012

It’s been 3 years since I’ve had WLS and it has had it up and downs but I do not regret having surgery. It was the right thing for me and it’s a great tool to have. Due to having WLS I have had a few side effects, but nothing major compared to some of the horror stores you hear.

Today I had a doctor’s appointment with my PCP to complete a physical. She had taken my weight and we got on the topic of WLS. She was impressed that I have kept the weigh off and she had asked me how I was doing. I told her everything was fine. I would like to get blood work done as I haven’t been keeping up with vitamins (I know I should) and then she asked if she could see how my skin look. When I took off my shirt she said that she was impressed and happy about how it looked, but I told her I wasn’t. I mentioned that I would be interested in having a bob lift now and maybe a tummy tuck after having kids. So she’s said she’s going to give me a referral to a see a surgeon in Oakville.

I’m happy about the weight loss and I wasn’t overly concerned with my skin until recently. I had mentioned to my boyfriend that I wanted to lose more weight and really wanted to push to get down to the 40ies. He was shocked and asked why. I told him I felt fat and I didn’t feel good about myself. He said that I’m skinny and that if I didn’t have the lose skin on my stomach I would be flat, he also mentioned if I lost more weight I wouldn’t look as good. He has asked me why I didn’t just get the skin removed and stay the same weight.

I knew that someday I would consider having a tummy tuck, but I figured after I had kids. But why should I wait? I don’t even know if I’m ever going to have kids or when. So why not start with a bob job and see how I feel after? I have worked so hard to be healthy, why should I wait to feel great about who I am? I’m young now and I should enjoy the skin I’m in.
