Plastic Surgery

Ok, so I was reading this post, and I really started thinking. I lost a tremendous amount of weight...It's been a while now. But I was almost 500 pounds, got down to 160 pounds. I am up now, since having the twins, but I want to get back to where I was at 160 and then have plastic surgery. Everything sags. Not just from nursing 5 kids either! (Who said that you would looose a ton of weight nursing??? I was hungry all the time and didn't loose anything!) I digress, so is it bad to have plastic surgery? I probably have 15 to 20 pounds of excess skin. I want to look good after putting all this time and effort in to loosing the weight! But the expense of it! Wow, it's super expensive! Would you have plastic surgery? Is it just a vain thing to even consider? Am I letting down all the woman in my life by even considering this?

  1. I don't think it is vain at all, you have a very good reason to do it. Wow, way to go with losing all that weight!! Major applause. I have no idea about the cost, I am sure it's not real cheap, but then again, since those things are not covered by insurance, they have to be paid upfront and may actually be reasonable compared to all the padding hospital bills get. After all that work you've done, I think you should feel 100% great about the result.

  2. Hey, you've worked hard and you've earned it.

    If it's in the cards, I say go for it. And who cares what others really think. At the end of the day it's all about how we feel in our own skin.

  3. Thanks guys...I have thought about this for years and have gone back and forth. My hubby always says I don't need it, but it'd just be the icing on the cake I think. My mom is totally against me doing it, and it's not something that I can really not tell people about. Hopefully though she would understand if I do decide to go through with it!

  4. I go back and forth all the time. I would love to be able to fit into a normal size bra. I am a c on one side and a dd on the other...fun stuff.

    Plus I have this middle that just wont go away from having 2 kids. Its extra skin and a little fat. I have lost as much weight and I realistically can which is 5 lbs more than I was in high school and I was fit in hs...

    But all that pain and money is it worth it? I just don't know I guess I will decide when I get to that point

  5. Yes, I had a friend who had a tummy tuck and she said it was soooo painful! (Course, I think she's kind of a baby) but I know I didn't feel so hot after my c-section, and I usually can tolerate a lot of pain...and that was just a little cut! Ahhh. I think the pain would be worth it though...does anyone know if even after you age if everything stays in place? Or will I go south in 10 years anyways?

  7. I'm thinking about it too. Maybe when I make my millions blogging, I'll be able to afford it. I had twins in 2003.

    I think if you want it and can afford it, go for it. It's your body. Congratulations on the weight loss! Mostly for the health reasons. Beauty is on the inside, and it sounds like your husband sees your beauty with or without plastic surgery. Best wishes for whatever you decide.

  8. If you think it's the best option you can go for, then go. Make sure that you've considered all of the things you can do to go back to how you're supposed to look. =)
