Anyone had plastic surgery after weight loss?

[YangYang]

I have lost half of my body weight - 153 pounds - in the last 2.5 years. I have some real issues with flab and loose skin, in all the usual places: inner thigh, arms, and stomach. I have been working out for about six months and while I have noticed some changes, I just don't think it will go away. Has anyone had any experience with this? I would love to have plastic surgery but I can't afford it and I don't think my insurance will pay for it - it isn't bad enough to be a medical issue. I'm also worried that it wouldn't give me the results I would want. I'd love to hear from anyone who has had any of these areas operated on.

You may want to check out some plastic surgery websites. One good one is yestheyrefake.net - They have boards, surgical explanations, before & afters, links etc. Its very thorough. I know what you mean about loose skin. My abs are my downfall. I'd love to have a tummy tuck when I get to my goal weight. I'm just terrified of having surgery.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

Sorry I cannot help you with your question. I did see something on TV not too long ago about medical insurance stepping in once it becomes a health issue. I'm not sure what one has to display there for things to be considered medical necissity.

Hope you can find the answer.
