I seem to have alot to say for myself today!

One thing that I often think about is excess skin and droopy boobs and I know for sure i will have a lot on my tummy when I'm done. I know i should cross that bridge when I come to it but I can't help but worry about it. I would much rather be slim with abit of droopiness but just how much will there be is what is worrying me.

Our American friends talk about plastic surgery ops they have had done as if they had simply gone to the dentist, it doesn't seem to be a biggy to them......but it is for me! It scares the hell out of me!

Anyone had anything done?

HI kATIE.My friend had her band in Belgium 2 years ago. She has lost 6 stone. She went back to the Belgium a few months ago and the same surgeon who banded her, did a tummy tuck. The cost was very little. The tt was excellent. She is now going back on good friday to one of his colleges to have her boobs done.!Mrs D

yeah, I reckon I will probably end up with a tuck but I hope my boobs look ok cos they are the only part of my body that i like at the moment!!!LOL

Will probably go off to Belgium or Paris to get it done, its sooooo much cheaper!

I hope everything is going OK with you Fay, I was concerned to read about your port problems:omg:

Keep us updated on everything

x katie

Hi Sugarplum,
U hv lose 7 stones, that is 98pounds. For each pound, you have to cut down or burnt around 3500calories. You really have done very well, and all in under 2 years. Well Done and Good luck on yr upcoming part TT. Do you have a before and after picture we can see.

Hi Sugarplum,
Sorry for the late reply. Just came back from Dom Rep holiday and just saw your picture. OMG you look Fantastic !!! Well done infact. Good luck to your upcoming TT (or A) R u having it done here in UK or oversea? How much will it cost? With weight lost, my boobs gone south too. and I know in a year or 2 I too will need to think of having that done and my lower tummy, no amount of exercise will flatten it, so I might hv to consider having that done too in the near future. I put on 10lbs in Dom Rep, but have lose it all by today (Thank God) Its the alcohol and sweets desert. Very hard when going on All Inclusive. Hopefully my weight will start going down again now Im back.

Hi sugarplum...
The TT will be the best thing you ever done (after the band) I had one done when I lost a lot of weight before, It was amazing.
Unfortunately I gained the weight back!! Terrible, but results not totally ruined funny enough...if only I'd have known about the band then..
Anyway..I've yet to start a family.. If I can I would get another TT in a few years after all babies r done with PG! that's hoping I am successful with my band ( if I get approved on my consulation 02/April!
Good luck & well done to you
