Oh, its a lot to do with genetics, luck and where you carry your weight. I lost 45kg give or take and I dont really "need" anything done.

There's stuff I would like - like my lower body would look a lot better if I did get ringbarked and pulled up but its just not bad enough to really justify it, if that makes sense. Its flabby, yes, its dropped a bit but I'm 41 and its huge surgery and you just couldnt say I really "needed" it.

I do NEED my boobs done, but in the scheme of cosmetic surgery, that's not a big procedure. What I wish they could do is pull my stomach up towards my boobs at the same time, just that inch or two of flab that's there bothers me but its mostly ABOVE the bellybutton which is rather weird for a woman who has had 3 babies and was pear shaped and never overly fat in the abdomen.

You just dont know, in short. Some people's bodies really take a beating from pregnancy, some dont. Some people's bodies recover after weight loss, some dont. Some people's skin would always have been looser than others, weight problem or not.

I think in reality I am not surprised how I turned out - I think I could have predicted it with good accuracy, I could tell by the shape of my body etc. Do you have hanging, flabby areas or big rolls now for example? I didnt. Do you have big upper arms? I didnt. But I did have large breasts and they were saggy from the time they grew in puberty so there's no surprise there.
