Yeah, your right have to wait and see. I think that's cool that you are going to do it - I will too if I need to. So, the Panniculicomy only takes the skin away, so then we would probably need to go somewhere else to have the tummy tuck? I have never seen myself skinny at least not since I was a child so the funny thing is that I am scared I will not like the way I look - I know that sounds crazy huh? I worry about stupid stuff like will I loose all my breasts - not that they are all that, but I've gotten used to my D cup -lol
Will I like the way my face looks without my fat cheeks...goodness I know I need to stop obsessing it is just silly.
Fitgirly, I just hope I can look as healthy and great at you do! I have read alot about the surgery and some of the pictures I see are scary people start to look sick- not be mean or anything it's just scary.
So, anyways how is everything going? You are probably getting ready to sport your cute clothes this summer
luck you!
